Dri Flex
Dri Flex ties were developed as a result of the identified need to drill smaller holes in masonry to control the amount of spalling caused when drilling the near leaf. A large hole drilled through a brick can result in up to half of it spalling away. This material can cause bridging of the cavity and moisture transfer, and leaves a much reduced fixing thickness for the near leaf connection. Drilling for the Dri Flex tie requires hole sizes reduced to between 5mm and 7mm, which dramatically reduces the spalling of the brick.
