MFA 1-2 Bld Strap and MFA 3-1
Rigid Wall Ties and Expansion Ties
About MFA 1-2 and MFA 3/1
Designed for high-performance brick veneer and cavity wall construction, MFA 1-2 anchors offer targeted solutions for different masonry needs. The MFA 1-2 is a rigid face-fix wall tie ideal for brick veneer installations where foil barriers are used, eliminating the need to puncture the foil and streamlining compliance with energy efficiency requirements.
Meanwhile, the MFA 3/1 features a V-shaped profile that accommodates controlled movement across expansion joints in brick or block walls — helping to reduce cracking and maintain structural continuity.
