Type 3 Wall Ties

Type 3 Wall Ties are crucial components in the construction of external cavity walls, providing the necessary support and stability for buildings up to 15 meters in height. These ties are designed to ensure secure connections between the inner and outer leaves of masonry while meeting the requirements for medium-rise structures, including windspeed restrictions.

These ties are designed to accommodate cavities of various widths, ensuring a firm connection in buildings subject to moderate wind speeds. Vista V26 ties are easy to install and are a trusted choice for maintaining structural integrity in medium-rise buildings.

  • Ancon Double Triangle Wall Ties: Ancon’s Double Triangle (DT) wall ties are engineered to withstand the challenges of medium-rise structures, including wind pressures typical of buildings up to 15 meters in height. These ties provide a robust bond between brick and blockwork, ensuring the stability of external cavity walls. Compliant with Type 3 performance standards, the Ancon DT range is ideal for projects where dependable support and wind resistance are essential.

Windspeed Restriction: Type 3 wall ties are suitable for use in areas where wind speeds do not exceed 31m/s (70 mph), making them appropriate for sheltered and moderate exposure zones.
