In addition to tying rebar, galvanized iron wire is also used to secure other structural materials during construction. For instance, it can be employed to hold together steel beams, mesh, and other metallic components that are integral to a building’s framework. Its high tensile strength allows it to withstand significant weight and pressure, making it ideal for holding large and heavy materials in place. The zinc coating not only protects the wire itself from rusting but also helps prevent any potential corrosion-related damage to the materials it binds.

In addition to providing structural support, wall ties also play a role in controlling the movement of the wall due to factors such as temperature changes or settling of the building. By connecting the inner and outer layers of masonry, wall ties help to distribute any movement evenly across the wall, preventing cracking or other damage.
