Thermally-isolating wall anchors and reinforcement devices and anchoring systems employing the same are disclosed for use in masonry cavity walls. A thermally-isolating coating is applied to the wall anchor, which is interconnected with a wire formative veneer tie. The thermally-isolating coating is selected from a distinct grouping of materials, that are applied using a specific variety of methods, in one or more layers and cured and cross-linked to provide high-strength adhesion. The thermally-coated wall anchors provide an in-cavity thermal break that severs the thermal threads running throughout the cavity wall structure, reducing the U- and K-values of the anchoring system by thermally-isolating the metal components.
A thermally-isolating wire formative wall anchor and reinforcement device for use with an anchoring system in a cavity wall having an inner wythe and an outer wythe, the inner wythe formed from a plurality of successive courses of masonry blocks with a mortar-filled bed joint of 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 anchor and reinforcement device comprising:
A thermally-isolating wire formative anchoring system for use in a cavity wall formed from an outer wythe and an inner wythe in a spaced apart relationship, the inner wythe formed from successive courses of masonry block with a mortar-filled bed joint of predetermined height between each two adjacent courses, the outer wythe formed from successive courses of masonry block with a mortar-filled bed joint of predetermined height between each two adjacent courses, the anchoring system comprising:
