Stainless Steel Timber Frame Wall Tie for 50mm Cavities
Product Overview
This is a specialized structural wall tie designed to bridge the cavity between a timber frame inner leaf and a masonry outer leaf. It is engineered for 50mm cavity widths, providing a secure, flexible connection that accommodates the natural differential movement between timber and brickwork.
The "Twist-In" design allows the tie to be easily retrofitted or installed during construction, ensuring a high-strength mechanical bond. Manufactured from premium stainless steel, the TCDS50 offers lifelong protection against corrosion, making it ideal for permanent residential and commercial timber-frame structures.
