Introducing the Stronger, Simpler and More Versatile Strong-Wall® High-Strength Wood Shearwall By Caleb Knudson
After years of development, we’re excited to introduce the newest member of the Strong-Wall® shearwall family – the Strong-Wall high-strength wood shearwall (WSWH).
The Strong-Wall High-Strength Wood Shearwall Lineup The WSWH is a high-strength prefabricated shearwall composed of a custom-routed laminated strand lumber (LSL) body and proprietary steel holdowns. The shearwall is remarkably versatile in that it can be field-trimmed to accommodate any number of framed wall heights and rake walls with roof pitches up to 45º. The WSWH will further accommodate field-drilled holes, both large and small, in designated areas of the edge and face of the panel.
At this point, you may have noticed that this new shearwall sounds a lot like our old wood shearwall. You’re right, there are a lot of similarities between the Strong-Wall wood shearwall (WSW) and the WSWH. They both feature the same fundamental panel assembly makeup and field-trimmable features described above. They’re both available in the same three model widths with the same on-center anchor bolt spacing. And they’re both code approved and included in the same evaluation report, ICC-ES ESR-2652. So what’s different about this new wall? Well, quite a bit, actually.
