Ancon Head Restraints

Ancon Head Restraints are designed to provide lateral support to the top of masonry walls, preventing movement and ensuring structural stability in various construction projects. These head restraints are particularly useful in buildings where the upper edges of masonry walls need to be restrained but still allow for vertical movement, such as in multi-story structures with concrete or steel frames. Ancon Head Restraints, including the IHR (Internal Head Restraint) and FHR (Fixed Head Restraint) types, are engineered to accommodate differential movement between the masonry wall and the structural frame, thereby preventing cracking and maintaining the integrity of the wall over time.

The IHR type is designed for situations where lateral restraint is required without compromising the ability of the wall to move vertically relative to the structure. The FHR type, on the other hand, provides a fixed connection, offering additional rigidity where vertical movement is less of a concern. Manufactured from high-grade materials, Ancon Head Restraints offer excellent durability and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for long-term use in challenging environments. The system is easy to install, with components that can be quickly adjusted on-site to suit specific project requirements. These restraints are compliant with relevant building standards, ensuring both safety and performance in modern construction.
