Retrofit Brick Ties™

It is not uncommon during a renovation to find that brick ties were omitted during construction, or that they are no longer usable. The Retrofit Brick Tie was originally developed for flooded homes where sheathing and brick ties had to be removed, but it can be used in any interior side renovation of masonry walls. The Retrofit Brick Tie allows the brick veneer to be anchored to the stud framing from the interior. It features holes for attachment to studs and embedding in epoxy.

• From the interior drill a 2" deep,  3/8" diameter hole in mortar joint next to studs
• Use compressed air or a brush to clean debris from the hole
• Fill hole in mortar joint with anchoring epoxy
• Insert Retrofit Brick Tie into the epoxy and fasten to stud
• Install Retrofit Brick Ties every 16" vertically on studs
