Good Luck.How do you use a ceiling tie (in house building)?
Care full with this one....threes a safety regulation about polystyrene ceiling tilesHow do you use a ceiling tie (in house building)?
Not much information, Do you mean lateral restraint ties between ceiling joists and roof members and walls? If so these are L shaped slotted galvanised metal bars usually spanning at least three joists or rafters and hooked over the inner leaf of the cavity wall. Sorry if I have got the wrong end of the stick.
';Simpson StrongTie'; is a well known mfr. of building ties...go to their website and check out what's there and what to do with it. Big-box home centers carry most of their products.
