The ‘PT Brace Powertruss’ system 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.
‘PT Brace Powertruss’
frames are used in homes and light
commercial buildings to provide structural
stability to the walls.
‘PT Brace Powertruss’
frames are an
unseen internal application to a wall
and provide the strength and stiffness
necessary to resist these forces.
Powertruss Features :
- Resists wind forces from N3 (W41N) to C3 (W60C) cyclonic.
- Bracing capacity to 28kN per metre
- Short wall application - Large bracing values.
- Wall stiffening (conceal in wardrobes or cupboards)
- Suit nib walls 350mm, 450mm and 600mm.
