jack1962 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Hi Can you use the normal wall ties for movement joints on timber frame build,,, STF50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Slip ties may be better, with a sleeve on one side where you have a vertical movement joint in a panel. For tying to the frame, the normal timber frame ties will be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canski Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Normal ties don’t allow for movement. In a movement joint you need slip ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickie Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 +1 Treat the movement joint as you would a door or window reveal with the ties in to the frame @225 vertical spacing both sides of the mj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
