VUETRADE have an updated range of Brick Ties to suit the classification requirements in the AS/NZS 2699.1 (2000) standards for masonry fixings. As per requirement from AS/NZS 2699.1:2000, all wall ties are required to be tested and classified in terms of durability classification of R0, R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5. These durability classifications relate to the type of coating material and its coating mass that is required in the manufacturing of wall ties as per AS/NZS2699.1:2000. For more information see our Brick Ties Specification Guide webpage.

The suitability of brick ties in different environmental conditions can be determined by reading off the specification area chart based on the type of environment and the distance where the brick ties will be used.
