The corrosion of the metal steel cavity wall ties cause the wall ties to expand because the metallic oxide occupies a greater volume than the pure metal. This force separates the bricks above and below the bed joints in which the wall ties are laid.

The corrosion of the cavity wall ties or the lack of sufficient cavity wall ties used in the original construction means that many properties require either further remedial wall ties to be inserted or the original cavity wall ties need to be replaced.

Here at Permagard, we are excited to inform you that we have just realised a new range of replacement wall ties. The Easi-Fix Helical Drive is made from austenitic 304 Stainless Steel, providing an effective solution for tying cavity and solid walls.

Ideal for anchoring building façades, structural members and stabilising multiple width brick walls, the Permagard Easi-Fix Helical Drive has many benefits. Furthermore, the product can also be used as remedial wall ties to re-tie a wide range of
differing materials like air-crete blocks, clay bricks, stone, concrete blocks and timber studs.

The Permagard Easi-Fix Helical Drive can be easily installed by using a proprietary setting tool. Simply use an SDS-Plus shank hammer drill to drive and countersink the tie. What is so useful about this design is that it allows the tie to be driven
quickly and easily into the pre-drilled hole. When the tie is secure in the substrate, the fins of the tie undercut the masonry to provide an expansion-free anchorage that will withstand tension and compression loads.

The Easi-Fix Helical Spiral Tie provides a mechanical connection between the masonry façade and its backup material or between multiple widths of the brick. This can be used once the helical drive has been installed.

The easiest way to install the Permagard Easi-Fix Spiral Tie is to use a light hammer drill, no more than 1.5 NM impact and not less than 3000 impacts her minute.

Promising quick and easy installation, no resin or neoprene and no mechanical parts, this product is simply fantastic.

Ideal for walls and ceilings in commercial buildings and both private and social housing, this quick drying anti - mould paint is easy to use and cost effective.The product comes with a 5 year guarantee, promising to prevent the reoccurrence of black mould. The paint is also approved under the HSE Control of Pesticides 1986 Regulations as a surface biocide treatment against mould.

To apply you will need to remove the existing surface mould and make sure that the area that is to be painted on is free from flaking paint and dirt. Wash the area that you are going to paint thoroughly and allow it to dry.

Once the area is dry you can begin painting, applying with a brush or roller. Always remember to stir the product well before use.

If you are using your basement as storage space, ensure that your belongings are protected. Irreplaceable family items can get damaged by water, so think ahead, as you will never be able to get those precious items back.

Basement waterproofing can be achieved through blocking the passage of water into the building with external waterproofing or  cementitious waterproofing and  controlling the ingress and flow of the water to a pre-determined evacuation point by the use of cavity drainage systems.

John Newton Membranes and Delta Membranes are designed to control the passage of water using cavity forming membranes, drainage channels and sump and pump water evacuation systems. These come in a variety of sizes and types. Some membranes are plain, designed for flooring while others have a mesh welded on the face for direct rendering or for fixing dot and dab plasterboard systems.

Adding to our extensive range of basement waterproofing products, we now have P-Seal Quick Plugs.

These are used to secure P-System membranes to building substrates and to fix battens or tracking systems.  P-Seal Quick Plugs are designed to give a rapid fix into various substrates. Plugs can be installed into either 10mm or 11mm holes depending on the substrate.

P-Seal Quick Plugs are quick and easy to install. Simply drill at 10mm or 11mm hole (depending on the substrate) to a depth of 70mm.  Next, put the P-Seal Plug into the hole and use a large head hammer to gently drive the plug in, making sure that a good even seal is achieved.
