Easi-Fix Helical Spiral Bars 3 Metre
Helical Spiral bars are designed for crack stitching repairs to masonry walls and brickwork. Helical Spiral bars are installed with either resin or cementitious grout across cracks in a wall to increase the tensile and flexural strength of masonry. The cracked wall is reconnected, tensile forces redistributed along the full length of the bar and the stabilised structure restored to full strength.
Helical Spiral bars provide an effective masonry reinforcement solution for new construction and for remedial work in existing buildings. They are suitable for concrete reinforcement applications as well and offer a strong permanent stainless steel solution.
Uses of Helical Spiral Bars
Masonry Bed Joint Reinforcement
Anti-crack reinforcement around door/window openings
Provides extra strength in footings, parapets and retaining walls
Suitable for certain types of thin pre-cast concrete sections such as pre-cast panels and pre-cast doors and window details
Unlike the 1 metre bars that are used solely for crack-stitching, the 3 metre helical spiral bars can be used for different purposes.
They can be cut down or used as a full length in the following situations:
Tying multiple cracks that are close together
Lintel repair - helical spiral bars can be bonded into slots above an existing lintel as a repair.
Creating or repairing flat arch lintels
Creating masonry beams – these longer bars can be used as masonry beams to distribute building loads. In particular to prevent subsidence or horizontal displacement related to bowing walls.
