Plaster stop bead provides a straight accurate line, it is used to reinforce the plaster or render on its edge. Plaster stop bead is designed as a universal plaster stop used at wall ends, door and window openings to make a neat, flush frame. Plaster stop bead protects the edge from damage and helps corner shrinkage cracks. Plaster stop bead can be used for many different applications and can also be less expensive compared to other construction methods. The beads are designed with a ridge of nail holes to provide easy installation. Plaster stop beads can be used in all types of buildings and constructions and all types of cement plastering works Plaster stop beads help in improving the quality of the building with reference to the abutments of the wall surfaces to other dissimilar surfaces. Plaster stop beads are used between wall surfaces and abutment of doors and window frames and in places wherever the plaster ends.

Installation :Fixing is very quick and simple, by applying plaster dabs to the walling dabs to the walling at 600 mm internals and pressing the plaster stop bead against the dabs or by using galvanized nails for fixing at the same internals, holding firmly to the side of the wood finish and applying pre plaster coating, cutting the pre plater. After the pre plaster is set, apply plaster finish as done in the normal course.

For making grooves pattern on external walls plastering, fix stop bead on one side as required. Leveling with timbe grounds, apply plaster dabs at required internals or alternatively use galvanized nails for fixing and apply pre plaster when this bead is set with the pre plastering, fix the second bead into position using timber insents for the required gap between the two beads leveling and apply pre plaster. When both beads are set, remove timber inserts and complete the plastering as done in normal course.

Movement Beads are used to relieve the stress and strain in large plaster areas of wall and ceiling stucco areas and to allow for movement between adjoining surface finishes. Movement Beads overcome movement tolerance in plaster and render finishes and minimize the cracking in plaster. Movement Beads act as stop barriers when a change in finish is required. The purpose of the movement joint is to assure the proper plaster or stucco thickness also. Movement Beads are used in all types of building construction wherever expansion joints are present, for all types and kinds of bricks and reinforced concrete. It helps in improving the quality of the building with respect to the openings that are invariably created because of the space provided for expansion.

MOVEMENT BEAD


CONTROL JOINT BEADDesigned to minimize the plaster cracking and to allow movement in the plaster. Control Joint Bead overcomes movement tolerances in plaster Expansion / Control joints provide excellent expansion control for both walls and ceiling and offers positive locking of the stucco to the edge of the joint. Control joint bead helps reducing stucco separation at the edge of the joint. They provide for the basic expansion and contraction that can be expected in the stucco membrane, such as initial shrinkage during curing and minor thermal expansion and contraction. Available in galvanized finish for internal use and in stainless steel for external use.

Rib lathes are expanded metal lathes stiffened with longitudinal ribs. The furring design of the mesh provides efficient background plaster for construction of partition, suspend ceiling and refurbishment works. Rib lath is ideal for refurbishing damaged or old masonry walls, when a key for rendering is not certain due to disintegration or softening of the wall face.

Installation:Rib lath should be fixed with apexes of ribs against the wall, edge ribs of sheet nesting into each other should be wire-tied every 150mm and ends fixing should be used at sufficient intervals to hold the lath firmly in position.

Fixing of Rib lath sheets:Rib lath is fixed so that the tip of the rib is placed against the supporting background. The rib of the sheet should run at right angles to any supports. Ensure that sheets are overlapped by a minimum of 50mm end to end and by 25mm width ways and that the ribs are nestled together.

timber Support:Rib lath is fixed at each rib to timber supports using plasterers’ nails or staples. Ensure that compatible corrosion resistant fixings are used, i.e. Do not use galvanized fixings for stainless steel.

Metal support:Rib lath is fixed at each rib to metal support using 1.63mm galvanized or stainless steel tying wire. When joining Rib lath sheets overlap the edge ribs and tie the edges with 1.22mm tying wire at 150mm centers.

Solid Background:Rib lath can be fixed to a solid background using a suitable fixing which holds the ribs firmly against the background. Where sheets are installed vertically, fixings should be positioned through all ribs at 600mm centers to ensure adequate stability.

The connection reinforcement (5) required is guided through the metal mesh. For this purpose Hy Rib is incised with sheets sheares or RSM special cam shears. Rib cutting in should be avoided if possible.

Joint bands can be mounted is placed between two Hy Rib strips. For this purpose Hy Rib is incised with sheet shears or RSM special cam shears. The stiffening wood beams are provided with cut outs for the joint band.

Hy Rib is nailed to angular or profiled stiffening wood beams (2).Ribs should not be damaged when they are deformed The closed ribs points towards the first concreting section, since at this point the ribs are exposed to the greater pressure. The ribs are placed cross to the stiffening wood beams.

- Hy Rib requires the same concrete covering as reinforcing steel. In order to maintain the prescribed concrete covering timber rails (3) are nailed to the upper and lower sides of the construction unit as range spacers and to the stiffening woods beams.

- The stiffening wood beams (2) themselves are nailed to the sheathing and held by wooden ledges (4), which are propped against the existing reinforcement.

Frame Cramps and Channel Ties

Frame cramps with a single 7mm diameter hole or an 8mm x 30mm vertical slot can be fixed to concrete, steelwork or masonry. M6 Single Expansion bolts are recomended for fixing to concrete, setscrews or self-drilling screws for steel-work, and suitable plugs and screws for fixing to masonry. Poor substrates will limit the capacity of frame crams and site treating is advisable in some cases. The performance will also be determined by the position of the fixing. Channel ties fixed to steelwork or concrete at the lowest point of slot will have a safe working load of approximately 1kn. the capacity will reduce as the fixing is moved further away from the bend and greater movement shall be expected than with other wall ties.

Three Hole Wall Tie

BT


Device for connecting a masonry leaf across a cavity to another masonry leaf or to a structural frame to resist tension and compression forces while allowing limited differential movement in the plane of the wall.Wall ties are an important element in the stability of cavity walls. The correct selection, spacing and installation of ties is recomended to avoid damp penetration and cracking of masonry. Wall ties may only be mounted in a horizontal position and in the plane ( on level) between the masonry leaves of the cavity wall once the mortar has been applied on the block work, the tie must be embedded in the mortar, cover as well is top with mortar. The tie must be extend in the mortar joints at least 90 mm in the inner leaf and at least 65 mm in the outer leaf.Wall ties are further sub classified as asymmetrical or symmetrical.Wall ties is for us in the external walls, suitable for flat sites where basic wind speed is up to 30 m/s.

Adjustable Wall Tie (AWT)

Installation of ties

Wall ties shall be pressed down in and surrounded by fresh mortar.

To ensure cavity wall ties are effective at tying the leaves together they should be installed as the inner leaf is constructed not simply pushed into a joint. Ties should be installed with a slight fall to the outer leaf, never towards the inner leaf as this could provide path for moisture to cross the cavity.

The drip part of the tie should point downwards and be positioned near the Centre of the open cavity.

Installed ties should be clear of mortar droppings to allow the drip to function and prevent water from crossing to the inner leaf of masonry.

Length of Tie and Embedment

Wall Ties should be of the correct length to ensure they are properly embedded in the masonry. The tie should have a minimum embedment of 50mm in each leaf but also take site tolerances into account for both cavity width and centering of the tie. For this reason, we suggest tie lengths which achieve an embedment of between 62.5mm and 75mm.Recomended lengths to suit various cavity widths are shown for masonry-to-masonry wall ties.

Dimensional Standards

Fixed DimensionsWhen Specifying ties certain set or minimum dimensions shall be followed, these are described as fixed dimensions and based on the limitations of material and the production processes.

Where a screw or bolt fixing is to be made a minimum length of 30mm is required.

lengthsLengths are generally measured to the extremity of the tie.For ties fitting into channels the specified length is measured to the shoulder of the tie.

To comply with: DIn 1053, at least 5 pieces of cavity wall ties should be used per square meter in accordance with DIn 17440, material of SS. 1.4401 or SS 1.4571. Three additional wall ties are required for the edges of building.

The distance between the ties should be maximum 500 mm vertically, and not more than750 mm horizontally. The thickness of the wire tie depends on the height of the building and on the size of the wall cavity.

The minimum thickness is 3 mm. For walls that are higher than 12 m above ground level or where the gaps between the walls are more than 70 mm to 120 mm, a minimum of 5 wall ties with diameters of 4 mm are to be inserted.

If the gaps between the walls are more than 120 to 150 mm, a minimum of 7 wall ties with diameters of 4 mm or 5 wall ties with diameters of 5 mm are to be inserted.

The length of the wall tie should be measured in such a way that the anchor is embedded 50 mm into the masonry and a further 25 mm is bent round.

The thickness of the cavity and the thickness of the insulating material shall be added.

Cavity Wall Tie Information


For walls in which both leaves are 90mm or thicker, ties should be used at not less than 2.5 per square meter (900mm horizontal and 450mm vertical centers). This spacing may be varied by building regulations.

Ties should be evenly distributed over the wall area, except around openings, and should be preferable staggers.

At vertical edges of an opening, unreturned or unbounded edges, and vertical expansion joints, additional ties should be used. Such ties should be located at 300 mm vertical centers, positioned not more than 225 mm from the edge.

3 pieces wall ties per meter, additional ties should be installed:- At edge ( corner )- Along expansion joints- At opening - At the upper end

Ceiling TypeAdjustable Head Restraint (AHR)

Head Restraints

Head Restraints provide the necessary restraint to the top of masonry walls. They allow for vertical movement to accommodate shrinkage or thermal movement of the wall or structural frame, while restraining wind loads.

Internal Head Restraint

The Internal Head is used for restraining the top of internal walls or the top of the inner leaf of a cavity wall. The opening at the front of the channel stem is sealed to prevent mortar ingress and to ensure that vertical movement can take place between the block work and the structure. The base of the stem must be built within a bed joint with the centre of the stem no closer than 50mm from the edge of the block. The vertical joint should be filled with mortar each side of the stem. The maximum joint between the top of the block work and the underside of the frame is not normally greater than 25mm.

The standard of head restraint will suit a 215mm high block and can resist a load of 1.5kn*. Where the gap at the top increases from 25mm to 50mm, the working load is reduced from 1.5kn to 1.0kn.

BLOCK REINFORCEMENTSpecifications:

Uni-Metal reinforcement truss type are manufactured by resistance welding of ASTM A82 cold drawn steel wire deformed at predetermined centers conforming to BS 4483:2005.

Description:

Uni-Metal ladder and truss types are used for the reinforcement of brick and block masonry to give improved tensile strength to walls subjected to lateral loading e.g. wind and seismic. Uni-Metal block reinforcements reduces the risk of cracking either at stress concentration around opening. They can also be beneficial in reducing the effects if vibration and differential movement. The longitudinal steel wires are flattened to ensure good mortar cover, even when lapped or used with wall ties.

Dimensions:

• Hot-dip galvanized. - Main wire diameter = 4.0 mm 4.8 mm - Rung and diagonal wire diameter = 4.0 mm 4.8 mm - Rung wire centers = 400 mm

• Stainless steel AISI 304 - Main wire diameter = 4.0 mm 4.8 mm - Rung and diagonal wire diameter = 4.0 mm 4.8 mm - Round wire centers = 400 mm


the production of cold reduced steel wires complies to BS 4483:2005 and aStM a951 / a951M - 11 Standard Specification for Steel Wire for Masonry Joint Reinforcement

a) Mechanical Properties - Specified characteristic strength: 460 n/mm2 (Mpa) - Tensile strength min 510 n/mm2 (Mpa)

b) Chemical composition of steel - Carbon C max. 0,25 %, Sulphur S:max 0.06 % - Carbon equivalent value Ceq: max 0.4 %, Ceq=C+Mn/6+ (Cr + V + Mo)/5+ (Cu x ni)/15

SFSP Block ladder (Ladder type and Truss type) are continuous lengths of joint reinforcement that are embedded into the horizontal joints of masonry walls.

Block reinforcement offers the following benefits:- Increases lateral flexural strength.- Reduces cracking that can arise from thermal stresses.- Bonds exterior and interior masonry withes together in composite or cavity walls.- Bonds masonry at intersecting walls and corners.- Increases performance of masonry wall under various stresses
