Helical bars for masonry stitching, lintel reinforcement and foundation repair.
Retrofit bed joint reinforcement systems utilise 6mm helical re-bars in the form of high tensile (circa 8kN) stainless steel rods that increase the tensile and flexural strength of masonry. Cold rolled helical bars have a nominal tensile strength that is twice that of rebar, four times that of epoxy glass-fibre rods and seven times that of wound helix plate (Ref: BRE GBG62)
Available in packs of 5 or as a complete fixing kit the 7metre long repair bars are packed in a loop for ease of transportation. Some memory-coil may be retained when the Twistfix masonry reinforcement is un-coiled.
Download the BRE Report and Load / Span Tables to establish the load bearing capacity of a brick beam/ lintel formed with retrofit bed joint reinforcement using concealled helical bars. These BRE tables relate to geniune second generation patented helical bars used with WHO-60 grout. Do not use BRE tables if using other types of helibars or grout.. The Helical Bar Kit comprises:
1 x Grout-Master applicator with Hi-Flo nozzle
1 x Helix mixer paddle & finger trowel
2 x 10kg tubs of WHO 60 masonry repair grout (yield=3l)
5 x 7m long 6mm helical reinforcement bars in 304 grade stainless steel
