Ancon is pleased to announce the launch of a new helical wall tie for use in timber frame construction.<br> <br> <br> The TIM6 is a Type 6 wall tie suitable for fixing masonry cladding to timber frames up to four storeys in height. It is manufactured in four standard lengths to suit cavities from 50mm to 150mm. Ancon says that this tie is ideal for use where insulation is being incorporated within the cavity, as it accepts the Ancon universal insulation retaining clip.<br> <br> <br> The TIM6 forms part of the Staifix-Thor Helical range of hammer-driven fixings supplied by Ancon; a range which also includes stainless steel batten fixings for insulated roofs.<br> <br> <br> The helix of these Ancon fixings has a precise pitch that cuts a consistent path as it is driven in to timber; each rotation interlocks perfectly down its length to guarantee maximum performance, the company explains.<br> <br>
