Vertical Control Gap Tie for Brick and Block Masonry by Cerra Metal Works The Vertical Control Gap Tie from Cerra Metal Works is engineered to support the long-term performance of brick and block masonry by allowing controlled vertical movement while maintaining lateral stability. Designed for expansion joints, the tie accommodates up to 40 mm of in-plane vertical expansion, preventing internal stresses that can lead to cracking or structural distortion. A built-in de-bonding slide absorbs differential movement between masonry elements, ensuring secure restraint against wind loads without restricting natural movement. Suitable for clay brick and blockwork, the system supports a wide range of facade and structural applications. Tested to AS/NZS 2699.2:2020, the tie is available in multiple corrosion classifications- R2 Galvanised Z600, R3 Hot-Dip Galvanised, and R4 Stainless Steel 316L- meeting the durability requirements of AS 3700 across varied exposure environments. Combining movement accommodation with structural reliability, Cerra's Vertical Control Gap Tie provides an effective solution for modern masonry design.
