HeliBar by Helifix is a high-performance helical stainless steel reinforcing bar designed to strengthen and stabilise masonry. Ideal for both conservation and new-build projects, it forms the core of the Helibeam structural system, repairing cracks, creating concealed beams, lintels, and securing bulging or separated walls.
Key Features & Benefits
-
High tensile strength & flexibility
-
Accommodates differential movement
Its spiral design provides ductility, allowing for building movement without stress transfer to the masonry/ -
Fully concealed installation
Installed into mortar-bed slots or drilled holes and bonded with HeliBond, then re-pointed, leaving the repair invisible once complete. -
Strong load distribution
Effectively spreads structural loads, reducing cracking, and eliminating the need for invasive rebuilding or underpinning. -
Economical and efficient
Minimal disruption, low material costs, and reduced labour make it a cost-effective reinforcement option.
Applications
-
Crack Stitching: Repair and stabilisation of horizontal and vertical masonry cracks.
-
Masonry Beams & Lintels: Long bars bonded in pairs to form reinforced structural elements across openings or weak areas.
-
Wall Reconnection & Support: Used in movement joints or tying internal to external leaves and stabilising parapets and arches.
-
New-Build Reinforcement: Embedded into fresh mortar to create reinforced masonry without visible fixings.
