eCo TIBOND
The Continuous Lug System
 
GENERAL INFORMATION
 
eCo Tibond, the continuous lug system has been designed to overcome the problems associated with bonding brick in-fill panels to concrete or steel. Existing methods are inconsistent and difficult to control. eCo Tibond replaces these with a fully controlled and adaptable system. Being continuous, eCo Tibond permits ready supervision of lug bonding and is labour saving in comparison with conventional practices. Each brick course is marked clearly on the eCo Tibond strip indicating the brick gauge. This results in accurate and controlled course levels. These advantages of safety and cost savings will benefit architects, engineers, quantity surveyors and contractors. Even the Do-It-Yourself person will find time saving uses for eCo Tibond when he requires to bond new brick walls to existing structures or walls.
 
DESCRIPTION
 
The eCo Tibond system consists of acontinuous galvanised mild steel strip 1 360mm long, 40mm wide and 1,6mm thick. Each strip is profile cut to give 4 pairs of lugs, 305mm long at 340mm centres, i.e. at every fourth course of 85mm gauge brickwork. For the 1 360mm length, there are 4 bond lugs for 16 courses of brickwork. Each course of 85mm is marked clearly on the strip. For fixing purposes the strips are predrilled with four 4mm diameter holes at 340mm centres.
 
APPLICATIONS
 
eCo Tibond is used to bond brickwork and building blocks to:
  • concrete columns or steel stanchions
  • concrete shear walls
  • existing brickwork
  • timber or steel window and door frames
 
METHOD OF FIXING
 
eCo Tibond may be cast in during construction, or surface fixed to the completed skeleton structure.
To cast in, the strip is pinned to the shutter for a wall or column and one lug is bent horizontally into the concrete. After the shutter is stripped the other lug is bent out for embedment into the brickwork.
 
Surface fixing tot eh completed structure is achieved easily using masonry pins or plugs and screws. The masonry pin used in the standard 3,7mm diameter pin which is shot fixed to teh concrete or steel. To build in timber frames, eCo Tibond is screwed into the timber.
 
Specify eCo Tibond in your next contract and have the assurance of sound building practice at no extra cost.
