Ancon - A Leviat Brand

Ancon*—now part of Leviat—has engineered stainless restraint for Britain’s brick and concrete since 1882, supplying everything from the Cholera Monument in Sheffield to 25-storey London façades. Their wall-tie portfolio is precision-rolled in Sheffield, tested to BS EN 845-1 and carries CE / UKCA marks, so your masonry ticks every PD 6697 box before the first brick is laid.

3. Low-thermal excellence – Teplo ties slash cold-bridging (≈95 % less conductive than stainless).

5. Made in Sheffield – ISO 9001 plant with 14001 environmental management.

Installation snapshot

• Movement joints: swap to Ancon movement ties at 10-12 m centres.

• Wide cavities: add stainless compression sleeves on spans > 150 mm.

• Fire-critical walls (>18 m): partner with Visqueen A1 DPC and A1 weep vents.

FAQs

Can I mix Ancon ties with other brands?
Yes, if they share the same PD 6697 class—but keeping one brand per elevation simplifies QA records.

Are Teplo ties fragile?
No. The basalt-fibre shank resists site knocks; just avoid levering brick courses before the mortar cures.

Do ST1 ties need sleeves in 200 mm cavities?
Yes—add compression sleeves to stop lateral whip and meet design resistance.
