The TIMCO 1000mm Heavy Duty Engineered Restraint Strap is an essential structural component designed for construction professionals and contractors looking to secure timber floors, rafters, and joists to masonry walls. It provides critical lateral restraint against wind pressure and structural movement, ensuring building integrity for long-term safety. While its lightweight, grey-finished design makes on-site handling significantly easier, users must ensure the specific structural engineering requirements of their project match the strap's load-bearing specifications before installation.

It is used to provide lateral restraint to timber floors, joists, and rafters against masonry walls to prevent movement from wind or structural forces.
Yes, it is manufactured to meet BS EN 845-1 standards.
It is designed for internal or sheltered structural applications; it should not be used in exposed, high-corrosion environments.
The strap has a total length of 1000mm, consisting of a 900mm straight section and a 100mm bent section.
No, specific masonry or timber fixings must be purchased separately based on your substrate requirements.
Ensure all fixing holes are filled with the correct size bolts or nails and that the masonry fixing is fully expanded.
The strap features multiple fixing holes; ensure you are utilizing the correct sequence to align with the timber grain without splitting the wood.
Installation requires basic carpentry and masonry tools. Begin by positioning the strap so the 100mm bent section rests securely against the wall or timber member. Mark the fixing points and pre-drill holes into the masonry using a hammer drill and appropriate wall plugs, then secure the strap using high-strength fasteners.
Compatibility is primarily with timber-to-masonry connections. Avoid using this strap in high-moisture or acidic environments without additional protective coatings, as it is designed specifically for internal and sheltered settings. Periodically inspect the connections during the first year of the building's life to ensure no loosening has occurred due to initial timber shrinkage or building settlement.
