Wall ties, starter ties, wall starters. It seems there is a bit of confusion when it comes to these… whatever you call them – and with all these names, it isn’t too difficult to see why.

They all do the same sort of job, which is providing a place to begin erecting an extension to an existing structure safely and strongly, but there are differences as to which you use on what type of structure. Our helpful Q & A should sort everything out for you and have you tying masonry skins like a pro in no time. What, you didn’t know your house had a skin?

What exactly IS a wall starter tie?!

A wall starter is a component which connects a new extension wall to its parent masonry building. The wall starter is known as a tie because it ‘ties’ or joins wingle skins of masonry together - this ‘tying’ can also be achieved with the use of starter , which allows you to simultaneously join both leaves of new cavity walls to existing masonry structures. All clear?
