"A lot faster and much more reliable installation than any other product on the market!
This is now a go to solution" —Project Manager
A state-of-the-art veneer tie system, developed to provide a robust and reliable solution to retrofit unreinforced masonry buildings.
PYTHON C Fasteners enables more efficient remedial and earthquake retrofit designs by effectively integrating veneers wythes and cavity wall, enabling composite out-of-plane behavior. The use of the PYTHON C system as an out-of-plane strengthening technique for brick masonry veneers and cavity walls has undergone world class full scale semi-static cyclic and dynamic testing using best practice research methods.
PYTHON’s veneers and cavity ties are minimally invasive and fully reversible, offering quick and simple installation with a subtle appearance.
APPLICATIONS
Structural interconnection of masonry veneers and cavity walls.
Earthquake retrofit of URM veneers and cavity walls.
Restoration of existing veneer and cavity ties.
FEATURES
Enables veneers and cavity walls to behave as a composite action, drastically increasing their out-of-plane performance.
Simple design procedure with recommended spacings.
No unwinding under cycling loading, strong hold to a variety of masonry substrates.
Dry and clean installation, no adhesive required.
