Slip Ties & the Dry Ridge System: Ideal for Winter

Though the winter is hardly the most convenient time for repair and refurbishment work, it is ironically the time when most repairs are needed! Twistfix are proud suppliers of a comprehensive collection of products, accessories and materials designed to combat the problems caused and exacerbated by wintry weather; here are two of the most popular.

Slip Ties

Twistfix offer fast and cost-effective access to Ancon PPS Slip Ties, which have been designed specifically for use at movement joints within a structure. After professional installation, these ties protect masonry from forces created by lateral wind loads; the natural contraction and expansion of walls and panels is accomodated as necessary with the addition of an integral debonding sleeve. Comprising a stainless steel body with one plain and one perforated end, slip ties are used in conjunction with conventional cavity wall ties at either side, delivering lasting, effective protection. 

Dry Ridge System

Comprising 6m of ventilated ridge roll and required stainless steel fixings, this kit contains everything you need to create a complete mechanical fixing solution. The system prevents the necessity of repeated bedding and pointing and is suitable for use on all kinds of concrete and clay ridge tiles. Featuring unique ratchet unions and high-strength nylon clips , the Dry Ridge System is guaranteed to be extremely durable, providing professional results that will last as long as the structure itself.

These are just two of the products we have available that are ideal for use during the winter months. Find out more details on the product pages and get in touch with our experienced technical team for further information and advice.
