How To Use Wall Ties Correctly
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- We are back on the two new build houses that we have been tackling on weekends.
Do you use the correct wall tie size for your cavity? If you don't then your work is not compliant.
We wrap the 3rd lift round and start the 4th lift blockwork. Been feeling a bit disillusioned with some of the content I have seen on RUclips lately so I have tried to bring a few hints and tips rather than negativity.
Fed up with comments and videos about what can't be done or this method is bad or this won't work.
People who take the time to create content should be encouraged. For the life of me I don't know what some people get from being so negative.
We are all on our own journey, and mistakes get made. As Del Boy would say its just a dropped stitch in lifes tapestry.
Keep on trucking everyone.

I wouldn't even bother addressing the bedsit virgins giving you grief in the comments. Just gives them more of an incentive.
Bedside virgins 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 😂
Quote of the weekend . Very good Mr Curwen .
Fair one mate. Cant’t talk for anyone else but this was really useful
Thanks 👍🏻
Well done. Good effort, came to understand wall tie installation.
Glad it helped
A pleasure to watch, thank you.
Thanks mate, glad you found it useful
Don’t pay attention to negative comments ppl have all kinds of frustrations that they are throwing out here and that make them feel better n have easier this way than working on their own issues… 😅 as for me I’ve learned things and I m happy you did this video thanks for sharing your experience & knowledge 🙏
Thanks mate
The most sense I’ve heard from a brickie on youtube 👌👌
👍🏻
10, 000 hours - 12, 000 hours. Five full time years of hard work, learning the ins and outs = time served. Ignore the trolls dont let them get in your head most of them probably never touched a trowel.
🎯
Keep doing what your doing , your video's are informative and I personally enjoy them and you know what you're doing , keep it up 👍
Thanks Dean 👍🏻
First Class again Tony …… great team , great standard of work and always positive, need more dudes like you out there! Keep up the good work! Great spirit on display……..well done again 👏👏👏🏴🤝
Thanks George, we keep fighting the good fight 👊
@@Tone_Team Definitely Tony! 👊
Well Done.
Keep it up 👍.
👍🏻
Love the channel keep doing what you are doing people who criticise you are jealous Ann idiots regards Howard from sunny Cyprus I did what you did for 50 years I admire what you you are doing keep up the great work!!!!
Thanks Howard 👍🏻 bet the weather is a little warmer in Cyprus than it’s been here 🥶
A really good upload giving us great tips on wall ties and fine example of how to get a great finish on stonework cheers for another awesome upload 👏
Thanks John. I seems quite a few people have benefited from this wall ties video, quite a few lads didn’t know they rules
Nice video, very informative
Thanks mate, check out some of my other videos 😉
Good video. I would be too concerned about negative comments. Your work stand for itself. Coincidentally, I’m using the same stone for my garden folly gothic arch project and the stone looks fantastic.
Thanks mate, much appreciated and good luck with the arch
Good down to earth video speaking the truth about RUclips warriors.....
👍🏻
I like the flush style finish! I haven't tried doing it like that, I usually wire brush the excess and then use my finger to smooth the joints but I like this finish also.
We sometimes use that method! Always good to blend it a bit with glove, fingers etc 👍🏻
when we do stonework we usually flush up all the joints as we lay and at the end of the day cover with hessian and morning use a wire brush makes a very nice finish and going only deep as the aris of the stone
We use same technique sometimes but in this house the sand is very course and cures quite quick so it would be to hard to brush the next day, even with lime in the mix too! But great comment and great technique
@@Tone_Team ah okay bud
Looks well
Thanks
Nice work
Thanks
Pleasure to watch you back on the trowel mate. Tidy 👍
Still got it mate 😂
Bang on matey. I'm listening !!!
🫡
Tone, I asked the manager on a job to order a bigger tie because the ones they had in were just borderline legal and they said no chance because of the jump in cost
Cheap skate 😂 technically the cavity tie is redundant if there isn’t minimum 50mm embedment each skin so if cavity creeps it could be a lot more than expensive than a few ties! I’d make sure I covered it with an email or something requesting bigger ties to cover your ass 👍🏻
The frame Tues should be 150 up from the bottom and 150 down from the top and every 450, that was one job, another they wanted the window clips every block
The correct answer is actually that it depends on manufacture’s installation guide. Manufacturers installation guides always supersede NHBC or other warranties providers specifications but people never look at them. Most brickies take what the building inspector says for granted. I bet most brickies are installing stone cills incorrectly to! Thanks for stopping by Changy 👍🏻
I usually get the ( what do you want for dinner )call about 8:45 😂
😂
I'm a Civil Engineer and I must say your work is spot on. My brother is a bricklayer and really and loves how you amended the work to suit to the sills. In addition, he mentioned how tidy your work was too.
Never mind the nay-sayers fella, they know stuff all...
Thanks mate, social media can mess with your head sometimes but I’m
Becoming more resilient 👍🏻
@@Tone_Team Keep doing what you are doing. Great work gets you more a trusted name, shoddy workmen are chancers that hate seeing professionals like yourself stucking to exact building codes.
Keep it up brother... 😊
A good reason for the oversized tie is when your building blocks on flat that are taking a slab,lads always leave them In to far
Great tip 👍🏻
I like that share a bit love positive mental attitude even we you trying make money in winter on the trowel 👌
😁👍🏻
Me and my mate are time served
😂👏🏻👍🏻
Break time, Whatever there is to eat !!
😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
One of the more realistic bricklaying channels out there
👍🏻
Another good video mate 😊 don’t feed the haters not even worth a mention.chin up and keep up the good video mate
Thanks mate 🙏🏻
Keep up the good work Bro. FUCK the neg comments, have a Cup of tea and carry on
👍🏻👍🏻
Nice job Tony 👍
Thanks Dave 😁
Just looked at the short too much mud comment. Seems like a well filled frog too me🤝
😀👍🏻
I know the minimum distance for the tie from the window frame, and how often the dacca ties go.
But I've got one of your minimum standards guides 😉
Nice plug 😂😂 I should off dropped it in the video
Tidy work.
Thanks 😀👍🏻
Well sed keep it up
🚀
Hey bro where can I get them window frames from ? I’ve seen a website but there confusing to what ones. I need these ones. 🙏👍
I use subframes.co.uk Great service and price
1 x 7 corrugated ties galvanized would make the wall far stronger.
Not sure what you mean
@@Tone_Team Instead of wire ties wire type flat steel 1 inch wide by 7 inch deep galvanized is a better stronger tie. Embedding the corrugated tie into your mortar joint in block sticking out to also embed in brick makes a stronger wall system. There are even more stronger heavier ties available that tie the two walls together. We are not allowed to use wire ties in North America because they are not strong enough. It is part of building code for residentual and commercial work. I know UK uses 4 inch block for load bearing walls. It is not allowed here,
Sorry we use 1 inch wide corrugated ties x 7 inch long galvanized. It is code here,.
cool
Thanks
Do all the negative comments still add to the channels engagement and help the RUclips algorithms? 🤔
Sure do mate? It’s all love really people just don’t realise 😂
waaww..👍👍👍👍👍👍
😁
I dont get why we need to put widow clips in surely once windows and plaster is in there secure?
I understand what you are saying but by securing the front to the Blockwork and brickwork it prevents the sagging and movement of the window frame. Some windows can be quite heavy depending on glazing window type
The stonework looked really good.
👊🏻 love the user name 👏🏻👏🏻
He is a good bricky but 4 inch block walls have no structural capability. Load bearing block work should be 6-8 inch block core filled.
That’s how we work in England 🏴
@@Tone_Team I know but your video's get seen all over.
Your workmanship is very good just telling you depending who sees your video outside UK 4 inck block might not be allowed.
Don’t mind them donkeys your a top man
👊🏻👍🏻
As the stonework is labour intensive, how do you price for that ? Brickwork plus X percentage ( with either fixed price or daywork ) ? Or are you doing to full build ? Agreed, it does look nice
We are just doing the brickwork and the scaffolding. In terms of pricing stone, allow a bit more for loading out and jointing but it actually goes up a lot quicker than brickwork
@@Tone_Team Thank you, I suppose there is a learning curve too.
@@andrewbeaumont5492 we do a fair bit of stone in our area so most people are familiar with laying it 👍🏻
Nice job Tony. What length wall tie would you recommend for an 100mm cavity?
250mm tie mate 👍🏻
Thanks for the reply, keep up the great videos 👍
The cavity-wall-tie should be the other way up than what you show ! There SHOULD be a LARGE air-space GAP in-between the face of the cavity-wall insulation BATTs and the OUTER WALL inside the cavity ; this ALSO includes an air-space GAP in-between the face of the cavity-wall insulation batts and the cavity-wall-tie drip point-which should be in the centre of the cavity. Ask N.V.Q. BRICKWORK teachers for PROOF of this ! With the cavity-wall being bridged with insulation (insulation touching the outer walls), damp will travel from the outer wall through the bridging insulation to the inner wall !
If you tried to be more wrong you couldn’t. I literally despair with this industry at times. Wall ties are universal, check the data sheet. Regardless of insulation, it’s not rigid it’s full fill. Drips on ties are universal, and be be installed which ever way
@@Tone_Team look at RUclips : WALL TIES Llite training. To see correct way up of wall tie.
ccp16 You have just proved your total ignorance.
Are they actually stone or are they made of concrete either way they look a treat👍 don’t see hardly any stone where I am (Cambridgeshire) but do see quite a lot of flint in Suffolk area
It’s not natural stone, like you said it’s basically crushed up concrete. We do a bit of natural stone but not that much round here, certainly not very common on our big sites as it’s quite slow and labour intensives. This type of stone is quite popular round these parts
10 o’clock I like 30 minutes and 1 o’clock I prefer 30 minutes 😂
😂😂
need your thoughts pn the stone we have done 3 houses for floors and one customer wants us to cut out 100 of them because they're not squared edge just wondering if you've come across this
bloors
Hard to understand what you mean. Do you mean because some have flat ends and not tumbled edges? Up window and door reveals for example?
After some advice, I've had a report from building control saying my wall ties are the wrong way round, im using the same as in your video. How can one tell which way is correct round or right side up?
Download data sheet from manufacturers website 👍🏻 wrong way round or upside down? What type of tie is it?
Almost every wall tie, unless specifically made for insulation, are universal! So can go in either way up or back to front etc
Sorry just read your post. If you are using the same tie as in my video then building control are wrong. Download data sheet from manufactures website and it will state they are universal and do not have to be installed a certain way up
@@Tone_Team thanks for replying, they want the inner skin down and redone. I'll try to download the data sheet and go from there. Appreciate the help.
@@miphoneify 👍🏻
Bloody hell. Came here to see how to use butterfly wall ties. And had to listen to that moaning . Lol. Give up social media matey you can't handle it, just build walls.
Butterfly wall ties went ages ago mate
Time served means fuck all,jobs served and done right would be more like
🎯
Bang on mate some people are twats mate keep it up 👍 and
👌🏻
Your trowell is to big. Warriors. You have work they wish they had the work you are doing. Your doing a good. Why let that come into your train of thought. Expect the plonkish comments your on RUclips.
👍🏻
Are you pointing that stone with a catapult ?
Yes and a stick
✌💑
😄
Is embedment a word? 😂😂😂
embedment (countable and uncountable, plural embedments) The act of embedding or the state of being embedded. An embedded structure, especially a steel structure, embedded in concrete that transmits external loads to it.
@@Tone_Team nice 👍
Don’t read the comments mate
I try not to 👍🏻
Why do you let them get to you, Just look @ your Fat Bank Balance 😜
It’s not that fat 😂😂
🧱👷🏼♂️
🥰
Good video mate , so many keyboard warriors about 🤦♂️ negativity breeds negativity 🙄.
Agree with the wall ties ,always best to use longer ones👍 , all though some of these contractors I work for moan because there more expensive 🤷♂️.
Stonework looks good mate 👍
