Any repairs carried out using this heavy duty crack stitching kit system will stabilise the structure, provide resistance against further cracking and restore the structural integrity of the masonry.

Heavy Duty Crack Stitching Kit Contains:

• 10 x 1 metre x 8mm Helical Spiral Bars

• 1 x Mixing Paddle
• 2 x Nozzles

How 8mm Helical Bars Work

The 8mm helical crack stitching bars are installed across cracks in a wall, effectively ‘reconnecting’ or ‘stitching’ the cracked masonry. The tensile forces are then evenly redistributed along the entire one metre length of the steel bar, which restores the structural stability and flexural strength of the masonry.

How to use heavy duty crack stitching kit

Repairs using the Easi-Fix Heavy Duty Crack Stitching Kit are made quickly and easily with the minimum of disruption. They are also inexpensive and won’t cause any further damage to the wall.

Installing 8mm crack stitching bars

The stainless steel helical bars are placed into horizontal slots that you cut into the mortar bed joints across the crack. These can be cut using an angle grinder or a mortar chisel. You grout them into place using Permacem Anchor Grout that sets around the helical bar rapidly developing compressive strength. With the helical bars firmly in place, structural integrity is restored. For full crack repair instructions, please consult your kit or read our How to Guide: Crack Stitching and our How to Repair Cracks in Walls guide for further information.

Installation - Repairing Large Cracks in Bricks & Masonry

Repairs using the Permagard Heavy Duty Crack Stitching Kit are made quickly with the minimum of disruption, are inexpensive and cause no further damage to the wall. The stainless steel helical bars are placed into horizontal slots which are cut into the mortar bed joints across the crack and then they are grouted into place using Permacem Grout (provided in the kit).

Permacem Anchor Grout is a shrink compensated grout with added polymer additives which sets around the helical bar and develops compressive strength rapidly to prevent axial deflection of the helical bar under load conditions.
