What Is Crack Stitching? Helifix Crack Stitching Walls

Structural Repair Systems:

1. Crack Stitching Bars are resilient helical shaped bars to reinforce cracked masonry and to help prevent further cracking.
2. Lateral Restraints tie external walls to structural timbers and partition walls where bulging brickwork is evident.
3. An advanced drive-in wall trying system with a self tapping helix. The patented Drive-Fix offers a quicker, safer and more reliable masonry connecting system.
4. Remedial masonry reinforcement is widely used for lintel repairs and wall stabilisation. This video demonstrates using stainless steel reinforcing bars as a structural repair to form reinforced brickwork and masonry beams able support masonry above failed cracked soldiier courses and masonry arches.
Simply grout the structural reinforcement into slots cut in the brickwork. Thor Helical bars provide a continuous interlocking bond connection for an effective and permanent structural repair.

Please Note
This method of crack repair can only stabilise the symptoms of cracked masonry walls. It will not necessarily cure the cause of the crack (for example subsidence). For this reason it is recommended that a structural engineer is consulted before undertaking crack repairs.
