Head Restraints

Head restraints are essential components in masonry construction, used to stabilise and secure the top of walls, such as the inner leaf of cavity walls or internal walls, to prevent lateral movement. These restraints allow for vertical movement, accommodating natural building shifts and preventing cracks. Commonly made from steel, head restraints like the Ancon IHR series and Vista VHR are designed for quick installation, with options that accommodate different wall widths, such as 100mm and 140mm blockwork. They are widely used in both commercial and residential building projects to ensure structural stability and longevity.
