The patented FLEXIBRACE wall bracing system is simple and saves time from design to the on-site application.

 

 

FLEXIBRACE is an ideal option:

  • for achieving high bracing values in restricted spaces
  • as a retro-fit option when additional bracing is required
  • in garage designs where un-lined is the preferred option

Features of the FLEXIBRACE system:

  • selection tables provided
  • designed for both wind and earthquake according to NZS3604:1999 section 8
  • options cover wall panels 400-1200mm wide and 2100-3000mm stud heights
  • can be used stand-alone or in conjunction with standard wallboard materials depending on the Bracing Unit demand
  • struts fit within the timber frame and quick and are easy to install utilising a single screw fixing either end
  • no need to rip down frames to accommodate sheets of plywood for bracing
  • no need to cut and fit additional blocking to accommodate traditional bracing sheets
