There are choices from which to select. There are self-threading types (Stitch-Tie) that thread the wythes together; friction pins that connect via forced entry; mechanical anchors that are activated via torque or hammer set to create an expansion connection in the base material (Grip-Tie, Stone-Grip Tie); chemical anchors that use epoxies and wire mesh screens for adhering the wythes together; cement based injection anchors that utilize proprietary socks to create an intimate bond with the sub-strata. Anchoring technology is continuously changing with more scientific advances being made.
