Brick Ties – The Secret to Stronger Walls
Cavity walls come with several benefits, such as better heat insulation and sound-proofing, among many others. Creating a cavity call, however, can be tricky. To strengthen the structure, you need to connect the two brick structures and turn them into a single structural unit, which you can achieve with brick ties. Here at Western Sydney Building Supplies, we have the best brick ties Australia has to offer.

How to Install Brick Ties
The typical way to install brick ties is to attach them to the leaves as the bricks are being put up. Once the tie is in place, you need to set it in with fresh mortar, making sure it is pressed down completely to ensure stability. You can also use brick ties for existing wall structures, in which case you need to remove a few bricks, leaving a gap where new bricks can be installed.
Choosing from Different Types of Brick Ties
Although their function is basically the same, there are a few different types of brick wall ties to choose from. First, you need to consider the material. Traditionally, brick ties were made of galvanised steel or plastic. However, these have been proven to be lacking in durability, and the construction industry now considers stainless steel heavy duty brick ties to be the new standard.
Our selection includes a vast array of brick tie choices, such as expansion ties, frame ties, stubby ties, twisted veneer ties, wire wall ties, and so much more. Call today to learn more or to get a quick quote!
