I vote keep this page and give the author a chance to expand it. I'm not sure what it's about--is it dental or construction?--Paul McDonald 15:45, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

construction, ty btw. but there are 2 types of tie in construction, there is a "tie" in the roof structure: where there are no joists and also there is one for the wall of a house. --Nitr021 20:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

US vs UK

Some of the information here is not applicable to the UK, where we use only stainless steel ties (we have old properties with iron ties and they rust through, leaving walls unstable, and swell, breaking up masonry) and where untied cavity walls are considered unsafe and not permitted.

US vs UK

It is also important to mention water transfer in the UK. UK wall ties have a modification to stop the transfer of water which permeates from the outer leaf.
