Lead is one of the most commonly used radiation shielding materials in construction. Because of its great density, lead is particularly good at reducing x-ray and gamma radiation exposure, hence known as "radiation lead." Its atoms (or pool balls) are relatively close together, making it difficult for radiation to penetrate. Leas has proven to be quite helpful in construction. Apart from lead, many other materials are needed to execute a construction plan.
In constructions with hollow walls, brick wall ties, sometimes known as "brick ties," are utilised. They are used to connect the two lobes of a cavity wall, allowing them to function as a single unit. Wall ties, which are hidden after construction, serve a critical function in guaranteeing a building's stability. It plays as a bone in the backbone of construction.
It's never a good idea to slam a brick tie into a joint. Bending installed wall ties should be avoided at all costs since it reduces the tie's effectiveness. It also impairs its embedment in the inner tube.
Why Should You Get Brick Wall Ties During Construction?
- Preventing Dampness- Brick ties serve to keep the inside of the structure dry by reducing the likelihood of moisture incursion from the outside leaf to the inner leaf.
- Insulation (thermal) - Because the air in the hollow wall is a heat non-conductor, heat transfer from the outer leaf to the internal face of the inside leaf is minimised. As a result, wall ties aid in the preservation of a building's thermal insulation.
- Preventing Discolouration- The inner leaf of the hollow, which is always a load-bearing wall, is maintained free of efflorescence effects because moisture is not permitted to permeate the cavity.
Isolation from noise- Sound is absorbed by the air in the cavity, which acts as a cushion. A sound-proof zone may be created by constructing hollow walls since a considerable amount of external noise is absorbed within the cavity.
