Cheap Ancon Wall Ties ?

[Dave Jones]

Anyone found a cheap source for these ?

 

Really want to use them on the build but £2.50 for a wall tie is a very hard pill to swallow.

[Canski]

Which tie from ancons range are you looking for ? 

[Dave Jones]

250mm for brick and block

At 2.50 each it will be a full time job collecting the ones that the Brickies have wasted

Which ones in particular? I am seeing hits for 250 for £50-140 depending on which version.

Have you done the calculations on stainless steels ties?

 

Over a wide cavity, the difference is tiny in heat loss but dramatic in money saved. 

 

We used these guys ship but I don't know if they ship to the UK.

Not sure what you are looking for but fastbuild supplies are good for normal cavity ties.

We found that our local bm was able to slash the price if we took a whole box. Minimal handling, no stocking,  no losses, one transaction. As above £2 becomes 50p.
