Strucsol Lateral Restraint Ties & Bowties: Superior Solutions for Structural Stability and Wall Reinforcement

Strucsol Lateral Restraint Ties, often referred to as bowties, are high-strength, advanced reinforcement products designed to provide essential lateral support and stability to masonry and brick walls. These versatile ties are widely used in structural reinforcement projects to prevent wall movement, shifting, or bowing, ensuring the long-term durability and integrity of buildings.

What Are Strucsol Lateral Restraint Ties (Bowties)?

Strucsol Lateral Restraint Ties are metal fasteners specifically designed to resist lateral forces acting on walls. These ties are commonly used to stabilise and reinforce masonry or brick walls in both new and existing buildings. Their unique design allows them to securely anchor walls to existing building structure, preventing bowing, cracking, or displacement.

Common Uses of Strucsol Lateral Restraint Ties:

1. Wall Stabilisation & Reinforcement:

   • Strucsol Lateral Restraint Ties are frequently used to prevent masonry walls from bowing or shifting. They are ideal for reinforcing load-bearing walls that may experience lateral forces over time, such as in older buildings or structures with foundation issues.

2. Heritage and Historic Building Preservation:

   • In heritage buildings, Strucsol Lateral Restraint Ties are a discreet yet effective solution for preserving original masonry while adding modern reinforcement. They prevent structural deterioration, ensuring that historical walls remain stable and intact.

3. Retrofitting Existing Buildings:

   • When retrofitting older structures, Strucsol Lateral Restraint Ties offer a cost-effective way to stabilize walls and prevent further damage. These ties are particularly useful for buildings with settled foundations or walls that have started to bow due to age or shifting soil conditions

   • Strucsol LRTs are used to stabilize walls that have shifted due to foundation settling. By securely anchoring walls to floors or ceilings, these ties help maintain the structural integrity of the building, preventing further displacement or damage.
