Stating that there are only “limited options for larger cavities in the timber frame tie market,” Tecties has unveiled an alternative to helical ties that it says are specifically tailored for housebuilders seeking a safe and cost-effective solution in timber frame construction.
Alongside its existing 50, 75, and 100mm cavity ties, its traditional timber frame tie is engineered for 125 – 150mm cavities and this makes it the first-of-its-kind to offer “a reliable alternative to helical ties without compromising on quality or performance, with no need for specialised installation tools.”
Further standing out as the sole traditional tie tested rigorously at these cavity sizes, the firm says it is certified to meet BS EN standards including BS EN 846-6:2012 and BS EN 845-1:2013 Type 6 tie requirements. Having undergone such extensive testing, the ties are also endorsed by NHBC technical standards for ultimate performance and reliability.
Tecties says that it “delivers high-quality products that exceed expectations while providing exceptional customer service.” With an offer that prioritises safety, cost-effectiveness, sustainability and choice, the business provides builders’ merchants and trade stockists with a range of unique wall ties and construction fixings.
Its ‘tangle free’ cavity wall ties, for example, are supplied in traditional bundles to reduce packaging waste and are designed to increase productivity “with safety and sustainability in mind.”
A family business with a deep rooted history in the construction fixings market, designing and making the first volume production wall tie machines in the UK back in the 1950s, the range extends from cavity wall ties to movement ties, frame fixings, plasterers beads and more.
