Edge-Tie™ Channel
Connect cladding faster with the Edge-Tie system from Simpson Strong-Tie. Our high-strength solution simplifies installation with an innovative, continuous channel for easy anchor placement.
Edge-Tie™ Bolt
The Edge-Tie system T-bolt creates bolted connections along the continuous channel in our unique Edge-Tie system for installing cladding or curtain walls.
Edge-Tie™ Guard Post
The Edge-Tie system’s temporary guard post creates an easy-to-install and reusable safety railing that can remain in place while the cladding is installed. This can decrease the cladding installation time, reducing tie-off occurrences while still providing fall protection.
