remedial wall ties
Welcome to Matrix Industries' Helical Anchoring System solution.
Matrix Industries has expanded its building solutions products and is now the Australian distributor of a range of remedial ties, crackstitching solutions and innovative building products.
Introduction
With the large expanse of Australian coast lines, expanding industrial areas and the historic use in these areas of galvanised wall ties, we are now seeing a situation where external cavity walls are beginning to separate and crack.(see wall ties).
Matrix remedial tie system and crack stitching solutions products provide the builder with the complete set of tools to complete repairs to all building structures where the brick or masonry has deteriorated and lost its structural integrity. (download - Matrix Helical Anchoring system pdf)
Matrix remedial solutions provides an easy, cost effective system of returning the building to strucural integrity.
The two key areas are:
1. Remedial Ties - As the original galvanised ties corrode, usually in the bed joint in the outer leaf, the stuctural integrity of the wall is reduced. This is often difficult to see and so should be assessed by locating a number of ties and removing bricks or mortar to assess their condition. At the same time an assesment of the integrity of the bricks and mortar should be made to assess the most appropriate method of repair. The Matrix Remedial Ties are Stainless Steel 316, corrosion resistant and allow some wall movement. they are available in a number of sizes to accomodate the building material, cavity width and condition of the wall,

2. Crack Stitching Solutions - As with any solid structure, any movement in the foundations often results in cracks appearing in the masonry walls. This is best stabilised using crack stitching bars. These bars are helical Stainless Steel 316 which are bonded into the existing wall across the crack lines. This solution will redistribute the forces along the masonry reducing the potential for further cracking.
Matrix Crack Stitching Bars provides builders with a permanent solution to repairing cracked masonry walls. These bars are grouted into existing walls to provide a permanent repair to cracked brickwork.
