ANCON LAUNCHES IMPROVED
IHR HEAD RESTRAINT TO
ACCOMMODATE 75MM GAPS
ANCON, winner of the 2018
Queen’s Award for Innovation, has
re-engineered its IHR internal head
restraint to accommodate gaps
at the wall head of up to 75mm,
extending the previous maximum
of 50mm.
Head Restraints provide a simple
support at the top of masonry panels. They are typically installed in
the inner leaf of blockwork on a framed structure, where the masonry
is non-loadbearing.
Replacement Balustrade
A great many character or period
properties have stone balustrade
incorporated into their design.
These balustrades make a large
visual impact, but they also have a
practical purpose as barriers and
screens.
A common cause for the demise of a
balustrade is the presence of water. Many
original balustrades were made from arti-
ficial stonework such as Roman Cement,
Concrete and Stucco. These were often
reinforced with iron or mild steel bars
which rust and expand when exposed to
water over a long period.
Ancon IHR’s comprise an L-shaped channel section, fitted in the bed
joint and perpendicular joint of the top masonry course, and a second
sliding component, fixed to the underside of the structural frame.
The sliding top section is available in two lengths; one length to suit
25-50mm gaps and a longer length for 51-75mm gaps, ideal where
a fire or acoustic barrier is being installed or greater deflections are
expected in the primary structure.
Other balustrades were made of natural
stone such as Portland Stone or Bath
Stone. While these types of balustrade do
not suffer from ‘blown’ reinforcing, they
do have a finite life span and the surface
of stonework will often delaminate or
form powdery patches.
Design resistances are available for this new improved IHR range,
based on independent product testing. This information is available
in the Ancon Wall Ties and Restraint Fixings technical literature.

After extensive testing, WallBedKing resolved to use modern
gas piston technology rather than bulky and out-dated spring
mechanisms, for the raising and lowering of wall bed frames, on all
of its products. The gas piston technology means a super smooth
transition when opening wall beds and with the most minimal
finger-light effort. This technology requires no maintenance and
comes with an unrivalled lifetime warranty.
It is perhaps a combination of all these factors along with an
emphasis on outstanding customer service, that generate the
consistently high level of customer satisfaction enjoyed by those
who have purchased from WallBedKing.
