Brace Type Examples
Retro (RB) Floor Joists Bracing
Retro bracing designed for floor joist applications where diagonal bracing is required for existing structures.
Flat Brace (FB)
Configured in X patterns to resist lateral forces in floor joist systems. Provides horizontal bracing between I-joists as shown.
Boomerang (BM) Braces
V-shaped braces with distinctive dimple feature create triangulation for structural stability. The flat portions are attachment points for joists, not to be confused with Braces (FB).
