Typically, wall type (e.g. solid, cavity or masonry veneer) and composition will dictate which particular system will be required to provide an effective wall or pinning tie solution.

Commonly, problems involving the tying of cavity or veneer walls with large cavities will require a RetroTie or ResiTie solution, while problems involving the pinning of rubble-filled or deep, solid masonry walls will require a CemTie solution. Problems involving the reconnection of bowed or bulging walls to floor joists will regularly require a BowTie solution. Most often, however, problems involving unsecured masonry leaves or features will require a DryFix solution. A StarTie solution will be required when re-facing. PatchPins may be used when patch repairing concrete.

The tables listed below provide further guidelines on how to choose an appropriate Helifix wall tie solution.
