A quick, simple, effective and permanent means of stabilising cracked masonry, Helifix crack stitching involves bonding stainless steel Helifix HeliBars into appropriate bed joints or cut slots in bricks, blocks or stonework, using Helifix HeliBond cementitious grout.
Lengths of Helifix HeliBar extending 500mm either side of the crack are bonded into cut slots, normally the mortar beds, with Helifix HeliBond grout or resin for a reliable and permanent solution. Where cracks are less than 500mm from an external corner or an opening, at least 100mm should be bent round the corner and bonded into the return wall or bent and fixed into the reveal, avoiding any DPC membrane.
