Recent storms across parts of South Africa have been a clear reminder that roof, and wall, performance depends on more than the visible structure.
A roof is only as secure as the connections supporting it. That includes the wall ties and masonry connections specified for the building’s location, exposure and wind load requirements.
SANS 10400-K sets out important requirements relating to wall ties, masonry construction and structural performance. For builders, engineers and contractors, compliance with these standards is not just a paperwork exercise. It helps ensure the roof and wall structure work together as intended, especially when buildings are exposed to severe weather.
MiTek Wall Ties are engineered for demanding conditions. They’re tested for coastal locations, extreme wind loads, and driving rain.
Available as galvanised and stainless steel options for coastal exposure, you can also expect MiTek Walls Ties to:
✓ Withstand lateral forces during severe weather events
✓ Work with brick-to-brick, brick-to-block and timber frame to masonry
✓ Meet structural and masonry building regulations
✓ Provide fast embedment into mortar joints - no specialist tools
When building, repairing or restoring roofs, take the time to check the specification. The right connection detail matters.
Ask your MiTek representative about the right wall tie specification for your project.
