What is a Helifix HeliBar Reinforcing Bar?

The Helifix HeliBar is a 6mm x 1m helical stainless steel reinforcing bar, with substantial tensile properties, used for strengthening and stabilising masonry in both new build and remedial situations.

Helifix HeliBars are bonded into cut slots at pre-determined levels in the masonry using HeliBond thixotropic cementitious grout. It is the composite action between the HeliBars and HeliBond that provides the core element of the Helibeam System, making it such a versatile, reliable and successful masonry repair system.

HeliBar, with its relatively small diameter, provides substantial tensile properties to the masonry, particularly when combined with HeliBond grout which locks between the fins and bonds to the masonry. Consequently, the proven Helibeam System has a variety of remedial and new build applications, including:

Creating or repairing flat arch lintels

Crack stitching in a corner of a stone wall

Creating movement joints
