Fortress Stabilization Systems produces several products that work together, as they are needed, to create the most effective wall restoration and reinforcement possible. Your certified Fortress installer will make an appointment with you and then visit your home. He will do a professional inspection and then supply you with a written estimate. At that time he decides which product, or combination of products, will do the job. These products are listed below just for your information only.

KEVLAR NECKTIE
Top Wall Anchoring System
Kelvar necktie Top Wall Anchoring System
View case studies using this product
DESCRIPTION:
Fortress Kevlar Necktie is an Aramid Composite webbing combined with an aluminum bracket and zinc coated lags that laminates into 4020 epoxy resin system. Half of the Aramid webbing is traditional fabric,the other half is pre-prag pre-cured with peel-ply which laminates to the foundation assuring entire strap will load in conjunction. It is designed to attach to the bond or ridge plate of structure which remains constant whether there is a sill plate or no sill plate present.
ADVANTAGES:
  • Low Profile
  • Flame Retardant
  • Non-Corrosive
  • Installs in 5 minutes
  • Able to conform to all building types
  • Does not affect ceiling height
  • Able to be installed where ductwork and plumbing would traditionally need to be remove

HOW IT WORKS:

Load at top of wall is tensile and then becomes shear. Bracket is held by 4 lags that have pull out tensile in wood 9 times standard penny nails,lamination technique with vacuum clamping pulls Kevlar tight and reduces elongation. Load is then transferred to epoxy resin to non-laitance bearing surface. Kevlar in epoxy matrix produces a lap shear of 750 psi.Necktie can be laminated over Fortress straps or independent of strapping.

COUNTERSUNK STAPLE
CARBON KEVLAR COUNTERSUNK STAPLE
View case studies using this product
DESCRIPTION:
Fortress Stabilization Systems Countersunk Staples are the first commercially available crack control stitching systemd esigned to transfer load away from repair materials. The Staples are comprised of high tensile strength and modulus carbon fiber. The fibers are encapsulated in a thermal set resin and cured under pressure during manufacturing process. A peel-ply fabric is adhered to the strap; when removed it leaves a prepared bonding surface for adhesion to a prepared substrate. The typical staple is 10" long by .38" wide with 1" legs.

ADVANTAGES:
  • Installs in 5 minutes
  • Can be installed at time of repair or injection
  • Adds little cost to entire crack repair
  • Staples can be used with various crack repair materials
  • Elongation of FRP creates less creep and faster transfer of load stress than steel

ADVANTAGES:
  • Consistent material properties
  • High bond strength
  • Prepared peel-ply bonding surface
  • Pre-mixed toughened epoxy
  • Able to conform to bowed surfaces
  • Ease of installation
