Commercial Foundations Photo Album: Carbon Armor is installed to stabilize a wall in Cleves, OH
With the season changes, the soil around the home expands during periods of freezing and thawing. Over time, this causes pressure on the foundation, which can cause the walls to bow. The Carbon Armor is used to stabilize the wall. The Carbon Armor is a fiber-reinforced polymer that is ten times stronger than steel and adheres to the wall using a high-strength epoxy resin. This low profile system can be painted or drywalled over and will not take away from the look of the basement.
