Vista Head Restraints

Vista Head Restraints are essential components designed to restrain the top of inner leaves in cavity walls, ensuring structural stability by preventing lateral movement. These products include the VHR, VIR, and VIRH ranges, each tailored to specific masonry applications.

  • VHR Head Restraints are versatile solutions suitable for 100mm and 140mm blockwork. They are installed with a single M8 bolt and offer excellent shear load capacity, making them ideal for high-load environments.
  • VIR and VIRH Internal Head Restraints are designed to allow vertical movement between the inner leaf and the structure. The VIR model features a slotted variant, while the VIRH offers a holed version. Both versions incorporate a tubular sleeve system that accommodates gaps up to 75mm above the top course, ensuring flexibility and durability. Made from Grade 304 stainless steel, these restraints offer excellent corrosion resistance and a service life exceeding 60 years, compliant with UK Building Regulations.

These head restraints are commonly used to tie free-standing walls securely to an overhead structure, preventing unwanted sideways movement. They are particularly suitable for both new constructions and refurbishments in residential and commercial projects.
