The Reinforcer® Carbon Fiber Straps
The Reinforcer® is a patented carbon fiber system and was developed by professional engineers. Its amazing strength, combined with its subtle appearance, makes it the perfect option for bowing wall repairs. The product not only offers tremendous strength, it also is lasting in nature. The system secures a foundation wall movement, and preverts any further wall decay. Once installed, you can paint over the strips and blend them into the existing color palette.
Product Overview
The Reinforcer® is the successful blend of modern, aero-space polymers and carbon fiber manufactured into a material which is nearly impossible to elongate (stretch). Amazingly, the Reinforcer carbon fiber plate (strap) is eight to ten times more stretch-resistant than steel! The Reinforcer is a 4-inch wide carbon fiber repair plate, bonded with structural epoxy (ECS104), and it is designed to stabilize and support masonry foundation walls. Once the Reinforcer is applied to the basement wall, it stops the wall from bowing further as it counteracts the outside pressure being applied and increases the strength of the wall by applying the equal and opposite force against it. The Reinforcer is ideal for repairing bowing, cracking, expanding and buckling walls.
