For a quarter of a century Helifix has been at the forefront of technical innovation in the design and manufacture of construction ties, fixings and masonry repair systems. During this time Helifix has built an enviable reputation for product quality, engineering excellence and comprehensive customer service and support.
Helifix originated the one-piece helical tie, which has many benefits, from simplicity of installation to long term performance.
Based on its own unique design Helifix developed a range of high performance stainless steel ties, fixings and masonry repair and reinforcement systems that combine the required strength with flexibility, durability and great holding power in all commonly used building materials.
