Masonry wall ties and anchors are essential for maintaining the structural integrity of multi-layered walls. These components help to ensure that the inner and outer layers of a cavity wall, or the masonry veneer and its backing, work together to resist loads and prevent movement.  Properly installed wall ties can absorb and transfer loads between the wall layers, enhancing stability and durability. Anchors, which are often used in conjunction with ties, provide additional security by anchoring the masonry to a structural element such as a steel or concrete frame.  The correct use of wall ties and anchors is crucial in areas subject to high winds, seismic activity, or significant temperature fluctuations, as they help to prevent cracking and structural failure.

There are several different types of wall ties available, including stainless steel wall ties, galvanized wall ties, and helical wall ties. The type of wall tie used will depend on the specific requirements of the wall being constructed, as well as the environmental conditions in which the wall will be exposed.
