HelicalBar™ – Toughest crack stitching & remedial wall tie system for buildings
The HelicalBar™ is our proprietary crack stitching and wall tie replacement system for reconnecting walls and stabilising masonry structures above ground. We designed our unique, industry leading technology to return structural integrity – fast. If your home’s load bearing walls are suffering from lateral forces or direct pressure from above and below, our HelicalBar™ can bring any movement to a halt.
At only 6mm and 8mm wide, we can insert HelicalBars™ straight into unstable brickwork to any depth. We fix HelicalBar™ into your walls with our structural grout to strengthen and reinforce them permanently. Non-invasive and non-disruptive, our HelicalBar™ also stays out of sight to preserve the beauty of your structures.
HelicalBar™ is made from high quality stainless steel
Made of an austenitic, 316 marine grade stainless steel, our tripled-finned HelicalBars™ have the greatest tensile strength of any crack stitch on the market. A unique combination of chromium and nickel, our HelicalBar™ meets the Australian standard AS 3700 masonry structure requirements for marine environments. Designed to resist optimal lateral loads, our HelicalBar™ lasts without corrosion for up to 50 years.
HelicalBar™ will allow for natural structural movement
Under natural conditions, all buildings move, from the tallest skyscrapers in the world to the smallest houses. Our HelicalBar™ is designed with this natural movement in mind. With their superior tensile properties, our HelicalBars™ don’t snap but rather give and take, redistributing lateral force under all manner of weather conditions. You can be sure your walls and masonry structures will always stand firm and strong.
With the HelicalBar™ you don’t need to knock walls down
More often than not, the average repair man will tell you an unstable wall or masonry structure is dangerous and will need to be knocked down. With our HelicalBar™ solution, you won’t need to. The HelicalBar™ redistributes weight and steadies lateral movement over large areas to compliment foundational repairs. With our HelicalBar™ you can keep your cracked walls and masonry structures standing without needing to knock them down. The HelicalBar™ can even repair broken lintels and arches without rebuilding.
