Points to Note

The same procedures apply when adding a new wall to a solid wall, a cavity wall or a single leaf wall. StarTies are equally effective whether the new or existing wall is constructed from brick, block or stonework.

Drill 6mm pilot hole in existing wall (not required in low density block). Line up tie with pilot hole, resting support tool on new leaf.

Drive in tie with hammer or SDS drill. (With new party walls the tie is installed at an angle and bent to lie in new mortar bed). Outer end of tie embedded in mortar of new masonry leaf.

The tie is installed into the existing masonry and simply bedded into the mortar as the new wall is constructed.

Addition of new party wall. The tie is usually installed at an angle into the existing wall and bent to lie along the mortar bed of the new wall. One end of the tie can be sleeved to create a movement joint.


Extension of existing wall. Ties are installed horizontally into either the mortar beds or brickwork of the existing wall and bedded into the mortar on the new wall.
