(54) Wall fastening method and apparatus


(57) A wall fastening (1) system for fastening a second wall (3) to a first existing wall (2) comprises an elongate rail (4) fastened upright to said first wall (2). A plurality of wall-tie carrying members (6) for wall ties (7) each has a flange (9) engageable with a slot (8) on the rail (4) whereby the carrying members (6) are positionable spaced apart on the rail (4) as a vertical array. The spaced carrying members (6) are firmly secured to the first wall (2) eg. by wall screws, and the spacing is such that each wall tie (7) carried by the respective carrying member (6) lies between two successive brick courses of the second wall (3). The above system provides a saving in material and also a fastening system of increased rigidity.
