This question is regarding brick masonry facades for high-rise buildings 
(more than 3 stories).   I am looking for "plastic" ties/masonry anchors 
for use in masonry facades to reduce the heat loss usually seen through the 
steel ties.  The ties will bind a 4" thick brick veneer facade to a 6" 
thick CMU block backing. The assembly includes insulation (3") and an air 
cavity (1") between the brick and block. I'd appreciate if you could let me 
know of any manufacturers/suppliers of plastic ties that you may be 
familiar with, even if they are based outside the US.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Smita
