WALL BRACING

Proper wall bracing is critical in the design of any house. Whether you're building, designing, inspecting, or even buying a home, iLevel can help you understand why bracing is important and how to find the best solution to get the job done.

To learn more about lateral loads and how they affect a structure, prescriptive bracing methods, and how to use the provisions of the IRC for your structure, read Wall Bracing 401.

You have looked at the IRC options, and nothing will fit in your garage or window wall. Select an iLevel® Shear Brace or Shear Panel for the narrow space.
