General Purpose wall ties
Multidrip feature to prevent moisture travelling across the cavity. Design means the tie can be installed either way up. Tested as Type B (sound) Tested as Type 2 (strength) to BS EN 845-1
Heavy duty wall ties
Low conductivity wall ties
Constant drip feature to prevent moisture travelling across cavity. Tested as Type B (sound) Tested as Type 1 (strength) to BS EN 845-1
Low conductivity wall ties
Low conductivity wall ties
Low conductivity wall ties
NEUTRAS wall ties have both low thermal conductivity and high structural performance levels. This means they can be excluded from the current U value calculations in EN ISO 6946 and provide a credible solution to new legislation requirements. Available as Type 4 (Housing Tie) Type 2 (General Purpose Tie) and Type 1 (Heavy Duty Tie)

Restraint straps
The RST is a high performance restraint strap which is used to resist uplift to trusses connected to masonry and timber frame walls in circumstances of exceptionally high wind loadings. The RST can be used independently or in addition to conventional restraint fi xings, such as truss clips and framing anchors.
Skewed Hangers
Disproportionate Collapse Restraint System
Restraint straps
Part of the world’s first backer and filler free solution. The VS hanger offers a superior level of performance to traditional joist hangers. The unique construction provides a variable skewed angle of between 30° and 90°
Differential Movement Ties
Disproportionate Collapse Restraint System
Disproportionate Collapse Restraint System
The HMT is a higher performance wall tie that allows the differential movement in medium to high-rise structures to be accommodated. The HMT range is a two-piece design with the channel section being fitted plumb to the structure and secured with two standard wall tie nails. The tie element interlocks and provides a sliding arrangement which does not cause the historic binding problems normally associated with dovetail type ties when used in timber frame.

Cullen are specialists in the design, development & manufacture of special connectors, and products to assist with disproportionate collapse restraint in multi-storey timber frame buildings.
Two Part Ties
As a result of problems experienced over wider cavities (150mm to 300mm) and their weight causing long ties to overturn, the Vista two part tie allows larger cavities to be spanned, (up to BS EN 845 - 1 standard for a type 2 tie). The shorter section is built into the inner leaf as construction proceeds, whilst the longer section is locked into the inner section and built into the outer leaf as it lifts. Tested as Type B (sound) Tested as Type 2 (strength) to BS EN 845-1
Debonding Sleeve
Debonding sleeve to allow for movement of the ties listed above (a 25mm wide sleeve is required for channel ties). Debonding sleeves should have a 10mm gap left at end to allow for movement once installed.
Frame Cramps
Frame cramp (supplied in stainless or galvanised steel) for restraining masonry to new or existing structures and for building in non-structural elements (frames etc).
Bed Joint Reinforcement
Vista Weld 3 was developed to meet the ever increasing requirements of specifiers. Vista Weld 3 is a welded ladder type Bed Joint Reinforcement with 3mm outer wires, generally used as a structural product, also ideal for crack control. Available in Stainless Steel Grade 304 S15 and in numerous widths to suit any brick and block thickness. Vista Masonry Reinforcement conforms to BS 5628 : Part 2 2000. Also available in galvanised.
