New Strong-Wall SB Shearwall Featured at 2014 Builders’ Show
Simpson Strong-Tie, the leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, will showcase its new field-trimmable, prefabricated wood Strong-Wall SB shearwall and other time-saving products at the International Builders Show (IBS) in Las Vegas, Feb. 2-6, in booth C1827.
The Strong-Wall SB shearwall provides greater lateral-force resistance for a broad range of residential and multifamily applications, including garage portals and large openings. The wall is available in dimensions ranging from 12"x7' to 24"x20' for standard, portal, two-story stacked, balloon-framing and rake-wall applications. Unlike other prefabricated walls, the SB shearwall is field-trimmable for custom applications and rake walls. It also is designed to easily fasten to headers with convenient drill zones and a chase for wiring. The wall is code listed to the 2012 International Building Code (ICC-ES ESR-2652) and the City of Los Angeles building code (RR25730).
