Owlets
 
Couldn't find any by doing a search on the Screwfix site.
Is there another name or brand for this type of thing?

I bought 10 in Jewsons today, at a cost of £7.26, I think they must have had
Sotherbys in to value them!

Dunno, but put 'owlet' into google image search and enjoy the rather
cute fluffy animals :-)

Do you mean some particular type of ironmongery product manufactured by
Owlett Jaton? Metal fence post supports perhaps ...

Owlett is the name for a fixing that secures wooden doorframes or windows
to the brickwork. They are inserted as the wall is being raised, the main
part sandwiched between brickwork courses.
I now see that it is the name of the manufacturer that produces numerous
items. However 'Owlett' in the building trade is normally understood to mean
this particular fixing.

Thanks, I'd never heard of them. It seems the phrase "Owlett patent
screw tie" works better on search engines ...

I'd have called it a brick tie.

I would call it a frame tie.
