DD 140: Part 2: 1987 Classification by end use

Classification

Type of structure and frequency of tying Geographical location
Type 3. (Masonry: Basic) Suitable for masonry cavity walls of domestic houses and small commercial buildings of up to three storeys, i.e. not greater than 15 m in height, comprising two leaves of brick or block work of similar thickness in the range of 90 mm to 150 mm May be suitable for cavity walls having leaves of disparate  thickness or stiffness or for cladding walls in high rise  buildings, but should only be used in these situations if shown to be of adequate performance by calculation Suitable for buildings anywhere in England where the basic wind speed does not exceed 44 m/s or for buildings on town or city sites in areas where the basic wind speed does not exceed 52 m/s (see wind zones)
Type 5
(Timber frame)		 Suitable for tying masonry outer cladding on to softwood structural framework of domestic dwellings and industrial/
commercial buildings up to two storeys and not greater than 15 m height. Not suitable for attaching masonry to other materials nor suitable for use in multi-storey structures of more than two storeys .Density not less than 4.4 ties per square metre or 7 ties per square metre (see under 'Geographical location')		 Suitable at a density of 4.4 ties per square metre for buildings anywhere in the South East of England where the basic wind
speed does not exceed 44 m/s, and for buildings on town and city sites in areas where the basic wind speed does not exceed 52 m/so In more severe situations the tie density should be increased to 7 ties per square metre
Type 6.
(Timber frame: high movement, e.g. 18 mm)

 As for type 5, but suitable for three-storey buildings, being. Designed specially to accommodate the increased
differential shrinkage levels likely to be encountered in the third storey of a building of not greater than 15 m in height.
NOTE. The basic wind speed is the maximum gust speed of the wind 10 m above the ground when blowing in open level country and likely to be exceeded only once in 50 years on average. The design wind speed is the basic wind speed factored to take account of ground roughness. which reduces wind speed near the ground. local obstructions. which impede the wind. and particular conditions which can accelerate the wind (e.g. funnelling), The design wind speed for permanent works other than farm buildings has a probability of being equalled or exceeded once in every 50 years. Different probabilities may apply to temporary works and farm buildings.

Fast-fix wall tie replacement and masonry repair system can be used to re-tie and repair a wide range of different materials like air-crete blocks, clay bricks and stone.
For tying cavity party walls when improved sound insulation is required and tying all types of masonry cavities requiring class 2 bed-joint ties.
For tying light weight thermal blocks to masonry bed-joints, forming cavities using thin joint block construction systems and tying cavities and abutting walls bed-joints to thermal blocks.
For tying Polar walls to masonry clad bed-joints. Two install methods can be used for before or after concrete cure.
For tying cavities, when rebuilding unstable outer leaves to existing inner leaves, forming cavities by adding outer clad brickwork to existing masonry walls and joining cavity or abutting masonry walls when adding extension to properties.

The versatile Tri-Fix wall tie replacement system can be used to tie together a large range of differing materials like timber, air-crete blocks, clay bricks, stone, concrete blocks and steel beams.
Speed-Fix is a multi purpose headless fixing, that can be installed like a nail and performs like a screw. With no need of any wall plugs. Installing Speed-fix is the quickest way of joining timber carcass or mouldings to all types of masonry. Speed-fix can be hammered straight through timber and Air-Crete blocks or fix timber to harder masonry materials by using a pilot hole. In addition it is a very strong structural timber to timber fixing which will not come apart under spring tension loads. Speed-fix can also be used to tie frames to bed joints. Speed-fix has a small core diameter which allow it to be used in thin timbers without causing splitting while still conforming to CP112 1972, unlike standard wire nails.
Tim-Fix is used for structual fixings for warm roof counter batten systems and vertical tile hanging systems. Tim-Fix have special helical features which protect insulation sarking boards from roof weight compression loads and wind suction tension loads, while its small constant core diameter allows it to be used in thin counter batten timbers while still conforming to CP112 1972, unlike standard wire nails.
