Verified by manufacturer 23 days ago
ISO 9001 Quality Management
Certificate type
For securing two leaves of a cavity wall to each other over a wider span (150–300 mm), allowing them to act as one structurally.
Application
For securing two leaves of a cavity wall to each other over a wider span (150–375 mm), allowing them to act as one structurally.
Description
For securing two leaves of a cavity wall to each other over a wider span (150–375 mm), allowing them to act as one structurally.
As a result of problems experienced over wider cavities and their weight causing long ties to overturn, the Vista two-part tie allows larger cavities to be spanned (up to BS EN 845-1 standard for a Type 2 tie).
The flat section is built into the inner leaf as construction proceeds, the longer section is then locked into the shorter section and built into the outer leaf as it lifts.
Features and benefits:
- Available with a dedicated, BBA-certified clip to secure insulation (usually in sheet form) within the cavity.
- Tested as Type B (sound).
- Tested to Type 2 (strength) to BS EN 845-1. (For cavities 326-375 please contact Vista Technical Team).
- UKCA certified.
