With our continual focus on new and innovative products we are proud to introduce the Tie Down Maxi, our simple and easy
solution to tying a homes roof down to internal walls. Weve worked closely with builders and industry advocates to develop this
simple tie-down construction system that is designed to withstand wind speeds up to the N3 rating (high wind prone areas).
The Tie Down Maxi maintains the structural integrity of the wall and can be worked into building design easily as it is the same
dimensions of all our Internal two course bricks 305 x 90 x 162mm.
