Wire Wall Ties

Wire wall ties play a vital role in masonry construction. They connect the inner and outer leaves of cavity walls, thereby ensuring structural stability and effective load distribution. To meet diverse construction needs, Joluka offers a wide selection of wall ties, each tailored for specific applications and building requirements. For example, Joluka manufactures Butterfly Wall Ties from galvanized steel wire. These ties feature a butterfly shape, which enhances grip and stability. Typically, builders use them to connect cavity brick walls. Joluka recommends using 3 to 4 ties per square meter. Moreover, you can choose between 2.5 mm and 3.15 mm wire thicknesses. To determine the correct length, subtract 20 to 50 mm from the total wall thickness, including the cavity. Similarly, PWD Wall Ties are also made from galvanized steel wire and provide strong, stable connections for cavity brick walls. Joluka suggests using 4 ties per square meter. These ties are available in various lengths, ranging from 180 mm to 600 mm, and in wire thicknesses of 2.5 mm and 3.15 mm. This range allows for flexibility across different wall dimensions. In contrast, Concertina Ties are ideal for wall-to-wall sliding joints. Joluka manufactures them from galvanized hoop iron, which resists corrosion and adds durability. The concertina shape allows for movement while maintaining a secure bond. Each tie measures 600 mm in length, 32 mm in width, and 1.6 mm in thickness. Importantly, both ends embed into mortar joints for a firm hold. On the other hand, Twist Ties offer a simple yet strong solution. Joluka produces them from 2.5 mm thick galvanized mild steel. These ties connect cavity brick walls and come in lengths from 200 mm to 600 mm. Their twisted design improves bonding and ensures a secure fit in mortar. Building on this design, Joluka has improved traditional twist ties by replacing sharp edges with rounded safety ends. As a result, this design reduces the risk of injury during installation and lowers the required mortar thickness. These ties are 2.5 mm thick and available in lengths of 200 mm, 250 mm, and 280 mm. Therefore, they are ideal for projects where safety and precision are priorities. Finally, Posi-Ties offer a modern alternative. Joluka manufactures them from plastic, which eliminates corrosion risks. These ties are suitable for cavity walls in both single and double-storey buildings. They accommodate cavities between 50 mm and 140 mm. Additionally, their smooth surface prevents mortar droppings and helps reduce internal dampness. Posi-Ties are SABS tested and available in lengths of 138 mm, 190 mm, 230 mm, and 270 mm.
