Helifix HeliBar Remedial Helical stainless steel reinforcing bar for masonry repair and new construction The Helifix HeliBar is a helical stainless steel reinforcing bar, with substantial tensile properties, used for strengthening and stabilising masonry in both new build and remedial situations.

Lintel Repair - Installing and Repairing Window Lintels Lintel Repair - Installing and Repairing Window Lintels

We have broken down the installation into simple easy to follow steps. The installation method outlined below applies to both window and door lintels. It is strongly recommended that you install helical bars at two levels above the failed lintel.

Leading the way in the development and implementation of the very latest in smart building technologies, we create attractive and sustainable workplaces with best in class amenities to enable our future focused occupiers to thrive. Helical spiral bars also provide extra strength in footings, parapets and retaining walls. They can be used during new construction or remedial work in existing buildings. At Permagard, we’ve been manufacturing innovative structural repair products for over 25 years. As an independent helical bar manufacturer, we work hard to remain market leaders and ensure compliance with all standards. Helical bars have great axial strength when grouted into walls. They are able to spread loads and accommodate natural and cyclical movements within a building whilst holding the components firmly together.The reinforcing bars are generally concealed within mortar beds to disguise installation. A particular advantage of helical stitching kits is their ease of application. Helical bars can be inserted into existing masonry with minimal effort or disturbance, providing excellent strength while leaving no visible mark on the wall’s exterior.

How to Use Helical Bars for Lintel Repairs - Twistfix

Whether on the technical helpline, behind the trade counter or with our How To guides, Chris makes sure that our users feel complete confidence in the systems and products we sell, and know how to use them to get the job done. If you’ve got a question about any of our systems or products, Chris will be more than happy to help. Twistfix helical bars are bonded into slots that have been cut at pre-determined levels within the masonry. In the longer lengths they are used mostly in lots of four, two rows each with a pair of bars, to form the upper and lower flanges of a deep masonry beam which will carry quite a large area of masonry above an unsupported area. It does this by redistributing the load placed on the structure to solve any problems which may have been caused due to localised structural movements. Retaining the strong belief that our portfolio of high quality, sustainable and technologically advanced buildings are best placed to take advantage of the evolving central London commercial property market.The primary component of a masonry stitching kit is the helical stitching bars. These bars are often made of stainless steel and are twisted - helical refers to a spiral shape - to provide extra strength and flexibility. Where timber lintels are used, often in older properties, you are at risk from wood rot (wet and dry) as well as wood boring beetles. This can affect the structural integrity of the timber and mean that need you to replace or repair them using helical spiral bars as outlined in this guide. Polyester or epoxy resins are brittle once set and may cause sudden breakage of the beam when overexerted; they also have a mismatch of thermal and moisture movement characteristics that makes them less effective. How do you fixhelical bars into an existing wall to form a lintel? Insert a second helical bar into the incision about halfway into the incision. Ensure a 10mm gap between the two bars. We recommend thixotropic WHO60 ®, which is a cement-based grout featuring added polymers.The BRE Load Tables are specific to the proprietary helical bars tested and bonded into walls with this purpose-made mortar. Shrink-compensated, the grout effortlessly bonds the bars to the masonry, setting in and around the deep troughs of the helix and delivering compressive strength combined with some flexibility, which safeguards against sudden failures when overloaded.

Our Easi-Fix Helical Bars are effective at stopping structural movement and returning stability. Easi-Fix is a specialist range of structural repair products that are precision engineered, highly effective and long-lasting. Call our team of technical advisers today for more information on 0117 982 3282. Clear all loose debris from the newly chased apertures and use clean water to ensure they are thoroughly flushed out and wet-down before installation of the grout. Wetting the masonry reduces suction of the liquid from the grout.His expert knowledge spans all products and systems that we sell at Permagard, including internal and external waterproofing, structural repair and green roofs. With the addition of a second bar, the stress forces that act on the lintel are further redistributed. The tensile strength exhibited by a lintel reinforced with a helical bar surpasses the alternatives, often many times over. With the lintel restored, you remove the risk of the lintel failing and any dangerous repercussions. Installing Helical Bars for Lintel Repairs Apply a second bead of anchor grout into the slot, making sure that the first bar is completely covered. Trowel away any excess grout before adding the second helical bar. This bar should reach around half the depth of the slot and be at least 10mm from the first bar. This guide aims to answer these questions and take you through how to repair lintels with helical spiral bars.

Bar for Masonry Repair and New HeliBar Reinforcing Steel Bar for Masonry Repair and New

Pump a second bead of the WHO60® grout to fill each slot evenly to within 15mm of the wall surface. HeliBar is a helical stainless steel reinforcing bar, with substantial tensile properties, used for strengthening and stabilising masonry in both new build and remedial situations.

Once correctly installed, helically twisted bars provide strong reinforcement to fortify lintels and give a property a new lease of life. Installation is complete in seven easy steps, which are listed below. As owners and creators of a growing portfolio of best in class buildings, we are very aware of the considerable part the built environment has to play in carbon emissions and waste generation. We are therefore committing to ambitious yet realistic targets to ensure that our activity is having the lowest possible impact and where possible, making a positive contribution both socially and environmentally.
