A Stormtech System™ provides a method to interlock and tie-down the wood framed structure of homes, apartments, small commercial buildings, and other frame structures up to five stories in height. The system reduces or eliminates the risk of catastrophic damage from hurricanes or any wind storm with potential to loosen, damage, or destroy a framed structure. A Stormtech System™ provides a system that will lock each rafter and ceiling joist together at their points of contact with steel
brackets that will firmly lock the joists and rafters together and form a solid channel for a high tensile-strength steel cable. A Stormtech System™ provides a system that will thread a steel cable through a series of brackets attaching the roof rafters and the ceiling, running from one corner stud to another, anchoring each end to the foundation or slab. A Stormtech System™ provides a
structural stabilizing solution for all sides of the structure. Turnbuckles are placed in the attic to allow tightening of the cables after the wood frame settles and shrinks
insuring consistent structural integrity. Use of a Stormtech System™ provides a very practical and easy to install method of strengthening the framework of a home, in a manner that doesn’t adversely affect the homes look in any way, with the added benefit of possibly having lower insurance premiums. |
