Using site-built wall bracing panels for framing around garage doors, big windows, or walls with multiple windows is complex and time-consuming, and difficulties with hold downs and nailing requirements can lead to red tags.
iLevel Wall Bracing takes the guesswork out of meeting IRC code requirements, satisfies the engineer of record's need for design values, makes the framing crew's work go faster and smoother, and helps ensure accurate installation, time after time.
For builders, iLevel Wall Bracing products are acceptable in prescriptive markets as a 1-for-1 substitution for any of the prescribed, site built methods allowed by the IRC. They also provide easy nailing surfaces for the framer and trades.
For engineers, iLevel Wall Bracing products get the job done whether the issue is high loads, narrow widths, multi-story construction, seismic activity, or high-wind conditions. And then there's the best result of all - a stronger, safer house.
