What Is
The Reinforcer® wall stabilization
system ?
The Reinforcer®
composite system is a Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) made
of carbon fibers in
an epoxy resin martix specifically designed for strengthening
concrete and masonry structures.

How
does The Reinforcer® work to keep basement walls from
bowing?
When THE
REINFORCER®
is applied to foundation walls, it counteracts further outside
pressure on the wall, taking the tension force (or tensile
load) that the wall cannot.
For every increase
in pressure on the wall, THE REINFORCER®
supplies an equal and opposite resistant force making the
wall stronger. It helps eliminate expanding, shifting, cracking,
and bowing.

Benefits
of The Reinforcer® |
|
NO HEAVY EQUIPMENT
The
Reinforcer®
is a patented state-of-the-art system developed by professional
engineers. A combination of space-age polymers and carbon fibers
have been processed into a material that is virtually impossible
to stretch. It is a perfect material to use on basement foundation
walls to resist outside pressure.

|
|
NO MESSY
CONCRETE
You
no longer need invasive measures (such as breaking through concrete
floors or making structural changes to floor joists) to stabilize
foundation walls. THE REINFORCER®
is simply applied directly to existing walls. You
no longer have to worry about the look of boxy, ugly steel columns,
which can intrude into your basement space.
|
 |
|
NO INVASIVE
MEASURES
THE
REINFORCER®
has a tensile strength that has proven to be eight to ten times
stronger than steel AND works on concrete block or poured concrete
to secure and stabilize cracking, bowing or buckling foundation
walls.

The Reinforcer
Shield®
The Reinforcer
Shield®
system is a glass or carbon FRP composite flexible sheet
system. The carbon system is an excellent material for flexural,
and shear strengthening. The glass system is an excellent
material for strengthening for
event loading (i.e., Blast, Seismic).
The added benefit
is that it is flexible and is capable of conforming to irregular
shapes, such as circular or square columns. |
