brick ties for existing walls

Why Contractors Choose PYTHON C Ties

A state-of-the-art cavity tie remedial system, developed to provide a robust and reliable structural interconnection of double brick walls.

PYTHON system has undergone industry-standard testing to ensure that their performance aligns with the requirements of AS/NZS 2699.1:2000.

• Drastically increase cavity walls and veneers out-of-plane performance

• The only remedial cavity tie with a verified shear capacity

• Dry and clean installation, no epoxy required

 python, the industry standard.

Upgrade brick walls with PYTHON C ties—offering 5x better performance and lasting strength. PYTHON’ C cavity-wall ties are minimally invasive and fully reversible, offering quick and simple installation.

The PYTHON C cavity tie has been widely adopted accross Australia as a cost-effective method to remediate existing double-brick walls. It is supported by the world’s most extensive full scale dynamic testing research.

• Enables cavity walls and veneers to behave as a composite, drastically increasing their out-of-plane performance.

• Simple design procedure with recommended spacings.

• Strong hold to a variety of masonry substrates. No unwinding under cycling loading.

• 10 seconds per tie install. Watch the short, video to see how quick it is to install a PYTHON C tie.

Applications & technical details

When used at code maximum spacings, the PYTHON C cavity tie induces partial composite out-of-plane behaviour which builds in structural resilience not obtained with historical methods such as the use of flexible cavity tie systems. This is a great way to build in additional structural resilience when replacing corroded, poorly installed, non-existant or otherwise insufficient existing cavity ties.

When used at recommended spacings for strengthening, the PYTHON C cavity tie induces full composite out-of-plane behavior in double brick walls. This technique enables double brick walls to behave as equivalent solid walls, increasing the out-of-plane performance by up to five times that of a double brick wall with flexible cavity ties. The PYTHON C cavity tie has been widely adopted as a cost effective method to strengthen existing double brick walls and is supported by some of the world’s most extensive full scale semi-static cyclic and dynamic testing using best practice research methods.
