[1c] WALL and CAVITY TIES

Wall and cavity ties are metal joint reinforcements generally used in structural walls to provide connection, transfer lateral loads and restrain differential movement.

Over the time, ties of various sizes, configurations and adjustability have been developed for load bearing masonry, cavity walls and brick veneer construction. The size, spacing and type of ties have been entirely empirical.

7

To be effective a tie system should be Securely attached to both masonry wythes or the brick veneer and its backing Sufficiently stiff to transfer lateral loads with minimal deformation Corrosion-resistant and Easily installed.

Metex Block Ties are manufactured as per BS EN 845-1:2003 (Formerly BS 1243). They are produced with different materials like Mild Steel, Pre-Galvanized Steel, HotDipped Galvanized, and Stainless Steel as per BS/ASTM Standards.

Epoxy Coating Ties can also be provided where the ties are used in concrete systems with severe environmental exposures. Epoxy coating provides protection by acting as an impervious barrier.

There are a number of different Wall Tie Systems available for brick masonry wall systems. Metex fabricates wall and cavity ties in standard size and shape and also custom ordered ties.

STANDARD SIZES:

749-760_Wall Ties-Rubber

653-661_Wall Tie-Ceiling type 662-676_Wall Ties 677-689_Wall Ties 690-709_Wall Ties Corrugated 711-727_Wall Ties -3 Holes

[1d] LINTEL:

Metex lintels are manufactured in accordance with BS standards BS EN 845-2:2003, BS 5977 (part 2 1983) ensuring load bearing, torsional and sustain distribution of total load uniformly. For good results, the surrounding masonry should be of good quality (BS 5628) and should be deemed to arch in accordance with BS 5977 (part 1: 1981)

In addition to the use of high quality galvanized steel, the lintels can be further protected-against corrosion when needed by thermosetting polyester powder coating. This duplex system of an organic coating over galvanized steel provides excellent long-term resistance to the corrosive elements from surrounding environment.

Metex Lintels are produced with Galvanized Steel confirming to BS EN 10346:2009 (formerly BS EN 10142:1991) or ASTM A 653/A653M and Coating Type Z180 to Z275.

Lintels are produced in different thicknesses as per the load-bearing requirement.

Standard Thicknesses: 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, 4.0mm,etc. Standard Flang Height: 50mm and 75mm

Standard Width: 100mm, 150mm, 200mm, 250mm, 300mm, 350mm, 400mm Other custom sizes are also produced as per customer requirement.

10

Installation and technical advisory

METEX lintels should be installed with 20cm bearing at each end and should be fully bedded blockwork on mortar (20cm end bearing should be allowed at each side).Our technical department should be consulted if bearings less than 20cm are required.

METEX steel lintels provide a combination of strength and lightweight resulting in efficient load bearing performance and increased productivity on site.

Advantages(i) Lifting equipment is not necessary as two men can lift even the longest length into position (ii) Corrosion protected(iii) No propping required while waiting for concrete to cure(iv) No delay to block work activities

Lintels should not be cut down from manufactured lengths without prior approval.Use support at center until mortar is dry to avoid any chance of deflection.

If you have any doubt concerning any installation, please contact Technical Department on METEX at +971-4-8992321

11

SAFE WORKING LOAD

Metex Lintels are produced as per safe working load standards BS 5977: Part 2 1983 and BS EN 845-2:2003. Please refer to be below table.

[2h] RIB LATH

Rib-lath is expanded metal stiffened with longitudinal ribs. The furring design of the mesh provides efficient background plaster for construction of partition, suspended ceilings and refurbishment works.

Rib-lath has stiffening ribs at regular intervals, rolled-formed during manufacturing andsupported by expanded mesh area. Metex rib lath is easy to handle and can be cut with hand shears and bent to the required angles.

[2j] ARCHITRAVE BEAD

Architrave beads give a shadow line decorative effect for aesthetic purposes and creates a clean division between various wall finishes e.g. at wall and ceiling abutments or door and window reveals and other built in joinery features.

22

Generally, architrave beads manufactured in GI are used for internal plastering and stainless steel beads are used for external plastering.

[2k] CONTROL JOINT

Control joints are used to limit damages caused by the natural movements of a building over time. These joints are used in masonry, concrete, and drywall structures to minimize aesthetic and structural damage due to cracking. Rather than allow these objects to crack or break at random, control joints are used to guide excess tension to planned locations. This controlled cracking can make it easier to repair damage by keeping it concentrated in a single area, rather than across the entire surface.

23

[2l] MOVEMENT BEADMovement beads are designed to handle thermal movements in render and external wallinsulation systems. It allows movement between adjoining surfaces finishes resulting from differential expansion or settlement.
