Halfen Brick Tie Restraint Systems - HTS |
| A comprehensive range of brickwork restraint products to provide structural stability and to transmit forces imposed by wind pressures. The range includes cavity ties, frame cramps, brick tie channels, insulation retaining disks, and sliding brick anchors. In addition to the standard ranges, products are also manufactured to special requirements. |
| Ties are required in brickwork/masonry to
provide structural stability and to resist the
wind load. Halfen manufacture two ranges: |
HTS System |
| This consists of a range of standard designs
available in standard lengths, ex-stock and
suitable for most applications, as shown in
these plans: |
| ties to suit Halfen channel (both cast-in and
surface fixed) are coded HTS-B |
| ties to suit normal cavity walls are coded
HTS-C |
| ties for use as frame cramps, i.e. either
screwed or bolted, are coded HTS-FS. |
Made-To-Order System |
| For designs and details where the HTS system
is not suitable, for example: |
| wider cavities |
| greater imposed loads |
| special feature panels of masonry |
Special applications: sliding brick
anchors; windposts |
| Ties for special applications, e.g. bed joints not
at the same level. |
| Where ties are required between the main
building grid, then structural windposts are
made to fit by Halfen/.
These posts use standard WPT brick ties. |
HTS-B channel ties |
| Halfen HTS-B channel ties are a standard
range designed to bed into the mortar joint at
one end, and with a shouldered head that
locates into a cast-in or surface-fixed channel
at the other end. The head design allows
HTS-B ties to locate into Halfen 28/20 Ribslot
self-anchoring cast-in channel and also into
Halfen 28/15 channel. |
| HTS-B ties come in standard shapes and
lengths, which will cover most applications.
However, Halfen also manufacture ties in any
shape to order. |
