Understanding Facade Stabilization
Facade stabilization involves reinforcing and securing a building’s exterior components to prevent deterioration, displacement, or collapse. This process is crucial for maintaining structures’ safety, durability, and visual appeal, particularly those with aging or damaged facades.
Our Facade Stabilization Mothods
Our team at Deska offers several solutions depending on the materials of the building’s facade and the severity of the existing damage. Our team will help you choose the best method for your property.
Helical Wall Ties
The helical wall tie is a stainless-steel component designed to secure building façades to structural elements or to reinforce brick walls.
Its helical shape enables quick and easy installation into a pre-drilled pilot hole or directly into mortar joints in new constructions, creating a mechanical link between a masonry façade and its supporting structure. As the tie is inserted, its fins cut into the masonry, allowing for a secure anchorage that can handle both tension and compression forces without expansion.
To install the wall tie, a specialized setting tool with a rotary hammer is used to drive and countersink it into the predrilled hole. These wall ties are effective in concrete, masonry, and also compatible with wood and steel studs.
Helical Stitching Ties
The helical stitching tie offers an innovative approach for repairing and preserving damaged brick and masonry structures. These ties are grouted into existing masonry joints to address cracks and enhance structural strength while minimizing disruption. Crafted from stainless steel, the helical stitching tie includes radial fins created through a cold rolling process, which boosts its tensile strength.
Key Features:
- The helical design evenly distributes loads across a broad surface area.
- Installation within the mortar joint allows for discreet repairs, maintaining the structure’s aesthetic appeal.
- Made of stainless steel, they provide excellent corrosion resistance compared to mild steel reinforcement.
