The ‘PTBrace’ resists
the lateral forces applied to stationary
buildings or homes. These forces are
usually the result of ground movement
such as, earthquakes or external forces
such as high wind, cyclones or tornadoes.
‘PTBrace’
frames are used in homes and light
commercial buildings to provide structural
stability to the walls.
‘PTBrace’
frames are an
unseen internal application to a wall
and provide the strength and stiffness
necessary to resist these forces.
All buildings require a bracing method
that resists the forces of nature.
These forces vary by region.
