Helifix

The recently upgraded BowTie HD, from masonry repair specialist Helifix, is the ideal solution to the problem of bulging and unstable building walls.

Fully concealed once installed, it rapidly restores structural stabilisation by securing the wall to internal joists or rafters without the need for any unsightly tie bars or pattress plates.

The stainless steel BowTie HD, with its registered design, is the market leader in providing bowed walls with lateral restraint. Backed by Helifix’s considerable experience, expertise and technical support, the BowTie HD is fully proven and widely used.
