What is Carbon Fiber and Why use It? |
 |
 |
|
 Carbon fiber is strands of fiber made originally from Nylon fiber,then baked to 3000 degrees to change its chemical form to become a much stronger compound...carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is exceptionally strong for its size and weight. When the strands of carbon are woven or placed parallel with each other, they become exponentially stronger than many other materials. Fortress carbon fiber, with a cross weave of Kevlar, has been tested to be 10 times stronger than steel in a tension application, meaning being pushed, not compressed.
Carbon fiber will not stretch and when it is bonded to a bare concrete surface and it will not delaminate or stretch once bonded to the wall or surface. When tested to failure Fortress carbon fiber endured a force ten times normally generated on a basement wall. see this video of the actual testing. http://expertbasementrepair.com/carbon-fiber-structural-integrity-video
Carbon fiber composites are as high-tech as you can get today. The new Dreamliner aircraft, space shuttles, boat masts, racing bicycles, racing cars, bullet-proof vests are all made from this modern day miracle composite. Carbon fiber is frequently used for repairs to concrete bridges and commercial and industrial concrete structures. Carbon fiber has been used for more than 15 years by industry and recently has moved into residential repair and stabilization as the production costs have diminished.
Fortress carbon fiber products now routinely replace Steel I beams, wall anchors, grip-tite anchors. The advantages of carbon fiber over these older technologies is well documented...just ask any structural engineer.

The best time to make your foundation repairs |

Have you been putting off your basement repairs? A lot of people have, and I'll tell you why it's not a good idea. Everyone knows the economy is tough right now and we're all wondering what's going to happen. Well the fact is that things are going to be slow for a while. You might as well get used to it. One thing that isn't going to wait for the economy to turn around is your foundation!
Cracked walls and wet walls do not get better with time. The problems are not going to go away. They will continue to get worse and in turn be more costly to repair in the future. Wall cracks will grow wider over time causing more and more damage. Wet walls breed mold, mildew and nasty odors. Concrete block will rot and become brittle when subjected to years of water saturation.
Right now is the best time to consider repairs. Why? Prices are as low as they are ever going to be! Everyone is struggling to keep their crews busy...an even to keep their doors open. You'll see the best prices that will ever be available...but not for much longer.
The economy will come back...it always has and always will. When it does prices will go back up quickly. If you spend money on nothing else invest it in your home. You can't go wrong making needed repairs that will prevent further damage and problems at the best prices that you'll likely never see again in the future.
Money well spent? You bet. Think about it. Best wishes, jim. |
