Patent ID: 8667757

Claim:
A high-strength wire-formative veneer tie for use with an anchoring system in a wall having an inner wythe and an outer wythe, the outer wythe formed from a plurality of successive courses with a bed joint, having a predetermined height, between each two adjacent courses, the inner wythe and the outer wythe in a spaced apart relationship the one with the other forming a cavity therebetween, the veneer tie comprising: an insertion portion for disposition in the bed joint of the outer wythe; two cavity portions contiguous with the insertion portion; an attachment portion contiguous with each of the two cavity portions and opposite the insertion portion, the attachment portion for interengagement with a receptor of a wall anchor; and, a thermally-isolating coating disposed on the attachment end, the coating having low thermal conductivity transmissivity, the coating forming a thermal break in the cavity; wherein upon installation within the anchoring system in the cavity wall, the veneer tie restricts thermal transfer between the veneer tie and the wall anchor and between the wall anchor and the veneer tie.
