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. Helical bars are extremely versatile - they can be cut to any length and bent to form the required shape. We recommend fitting them with Easi-Fix 2C cementitious grout or the PermaCEM Anchor Grout. Helical bars are a proven way of increasing the tensile and flexural structure of masonry walls.

How to Use Helical Bars for Lintel Repairs - Twistfix

Push the helical bar firmly into the grout to around two thirds of the depth of the slot. Make sure that the bar extends 500mm either side of the window or door. We create sustainable and inspiring workplaces which are technologically smart, rich in amenities and promote employee wellbeing. 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. 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. The Helical team is a diverse and experienced group of professionals with specialist skills who are committed to being part of a market leading team and producing the very best results.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. Push the second bar into the grout, reaching around 50% of slot depth; this should always be at least 10mm from the first bar. Once again, trowel any excess grout to ensure full encapsulation of the rod. In this article, we're sharing read on for more information on the several types of helical bars available and their different purposes. Below are the most common helical bars used for construction and structural repair purposes. What are Helical Spiral Bars? 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. 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.

Push a first helical bar into each grouted aperture, to about 75% of the slot’s depth. To ensure the rod is appropriately encapsulated, use a trowel or pointing iron to compress any displaced grout. The bars are completely versatile and can be cut to any length and bent into any shape. Fitted with either polyester resin or cementitious grout, both techniques will help increase the tensile and flexural structure of the masonry wall. Easi-Fix Helical Drive TiesA 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. Twistfix only supplies helicalbars produced with this advanced engineering.The upgraded bars areproduced in the UK's only manufacturing facility that, under one roof,takes in round wire and sends out finished helical products. Other manufacturers merely part-process pre-shaped wire thathas been cold roll-profiledby a third party. Helical bars when used for lintel repairs are available in three and seven metre lengths. These longer lengths allow the bars to extend beyond the window or door by the required 500mm. You can also cut the longer lengths to the exact size required.

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 are buried into slots made in the wall surface. The slots are typically orientated horizontally along the face of the wall and the bars are bonded to the masonry using a high performance polymer modified grout. What are the applications for helical bars?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?

Sometimes lintels don’t exist in the first place. When there isn’t a lintel above a window, it usually means the masonry was built directly onto the window frames. In this instance you can create a new lintel using helical bars. You can do this by installing two levels of helical bars using the method outlined above. 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.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. 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. 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.
