Wall Ties
Wall ties are essential in cavity walls to ensure that the wall is structurally stable and sound. A cavity wall is as strong as a solid wall but only when the inner and outer leaf of brickwork is securely tied together by wall ties which are in good condition and fitted correctly. A lack of properly installed wall ties can lead to distortion, cracking or in extreme cases the collapse of the outer brick leaf.

Lateral Restraints
Lateral restraints are fitted from outside the property with a minimum of disturbance - in most cases just lift a few floorboards to determine the position of the joists and to ensure wires or pipes that may be hidden are avoided during tie installation.

Crack Repair
Crack stitching bars are heavy duty helical bars (8kN+) and are ideal for the masonry repair of wall cracks where shear strength is an issue. This 6mm diameter wall crack stitching reinforcement offers extra performace to other helical bar type products by significantly increasing the shear, tensile and flexural strength of cracked masonry walls.

Lintel Reinforcement
Many houses constructed with cavity walls did not have a lintel reinforcement in the outer leaf and the brickwork was supported by the load bearing window frame. Thor Helical Masonry Lintel reinforcement is often installed to form a lintel before the non-load bearing UPVC windows can be installed. This method of forming lintels costs significantly less than installing conventional lintels.

Masonry Beaming
The unique Thor Heliforce Masonry Beaming system of structural reinforcement and repair is at the heart of Thor Helical Remedial advance remedial strategies. It provides a rapid versatile cost-effective means of restoring structural integrity to buildings and structures where the masonry has failed and lost its load bearing capabilities. In combination with other Thor Helical Remedial Ties and restraints it can provide a comprehensive system of structural repair and stabilisation.

Shire Piles
Shire piles and Shire stabilisers have been developed over a number of years to provide a cost effective, engineered solution for subsidence repairs and to support new lightweight structures.
