Strong-Wall SB Shearwall
This prefabricated wood shearwall from Simpson Strong-Tie offers structural support comparable to narrow steel shearwalls, with greater flexibility and lateral-force resistance. It’s suited for a variety of applications, including narrow and tall wall spaces and areas susceptible to seismic activity or high winds. The shearwall is field-trimmable for custom applications and rake walls, fastening easily to headers with convenient drill zones and a chase for wiring. Dimensions range from 12- by 7-inches to 24- by 20-inches.
