Quick and easy to install, factory-built shearwalls are a cost effective alternative to site-built shearwalls.
Steel Strong-Wall Shearwalls
Ideal narrow wall solution to help structures resist the sudden lateral forces created by earthquakes or high winds. The Steel Strong-Wall shearwall is a prefabricated steel panel that features include simplified installation with superior performance. Available via Special Order in a selection of code-listed Steel Strong-Wall (SSW) shearwalls.
Wood Strong-Wall Shearwalls
The Wood Strong-Wall shearwall is a prefabricated engineered-wood panel that delivers greater lateral-force-resistance performance than most onsite built wood shearwalls.

Earthquake Retrofitting
The San Andreas Fault is around 800 miles long and is just one of seven significant faults that cross the greater Bay Area. USGS researchers warn there's a 70% chance of an earthquake of a magnitude of 6.7 or higher along the San Andreas fault zone in the Bay Area before 2030.
Studies show that retrofitted homes have performed well, with little or no structural damage after a major earthquake. Simpson Strong-Tie has a complete line of seismic solutions designed and engineered to strengthen your home and greatly reduce the risk of structural damage during an earthquake.
