The TIMCO Heavy Duty Engineered Restraint Strap is designed for structural engineers, contractors, and DIYers looking to secure timber frames to masonry walls. Its key benefit is providing reliable lateral restraint against wind loads and structural movement while maintaining compliance with building regulations. One caveat to note is that it is rated for Corrosion Rating 2, meaning it is suited for occasionally damp environments but should be avoided in highly saline or continuously wet conditions.

Yes, it is compliant with BS EN 845-1 standards.
This strap is rated for Corrosion Rating 2 (occasionally damp), so it is not recommended for constant outdoor exposure or coastal areas.
The total length is 800mm, which includes a 100mm bend and a 700mm strap section.
The strap has a thickness of 1.4mm.
Yes, the design is engineered for both horizontal and vertical structural restraint applications.
No, fixings are not provided as the choice of screw or anchor depends on the specific building material (timber or masonry) being used.
The straps are designed for flexibility; if alignment is slightly off, ensure you are using the pre-drilled holes to stagger your fixings into the timber without compromising the wood structure.
Ensure you are using a masonry-specific drill bit and compatible wall anchors or resin fixings suitable for the wall density and the strap hole size.
To install, ensure the masonry is cured and the timber is properly positioned. Use appropriate heavy-duty masonry fixings for the brickwork side and structural-grade screws or nails for the timber side. For care, avoid using abrasive cleaners that might strip the galvanised coating. If the strap is installed in an area prone to condensation, ensure the surrounding masonry is adequately ventilated to maintain the Corrosion Rating 2 performance lifespan. Always ensure that the strap is not bent or manipulated beyond its manufactured profile to avoid stress fractures.
