What exactly IS a wall starter tie?!
A wall starter is a component which connects a new extension wall to its parent masonry building. The wall starter is known as a tie because it ‘ties’ or joins wingle skins of masonry together - this ‘tying’ can also be achieved with the use of starter , which allows you to simultaneously join both leaves of new cavity walls to existing masonry structures. All clear?
