Carbon Fiber Straps in Atlanta, GA

How Carbon Fiber Deals With Bowing Differently Than Steel

Carbon fiber doesn’t work like a beam; it works like a very strong belt. Bowing is a tension problem on the inside face of a wall—one side wants to stretch as the other side compresses. Carbon fiber straps are bonded to the interior to handle that tensile demand, preventing the wall from stretching and bowing further while keeping everything flush to the wall surface.

What Homeowners See and Don’t See With Carbon Fiber

From the homeowner’s perspective, carbon fiber is subtle:

Low-Profile Straps

Straps sit nearly flat against the wall once bonded, usually only slightly raised.

Surface Prep and Epoxy Layer

The concrete is ground and cleaned so epoxy can fully bond the strap, which is critical to performance.

Finish Options

Once cured, straps can be painted over, covered with drywall, or left exposed in utility areas without consuming significant space.

Where Carbon Fiber Fits in the Repair Spectrum

Carbon fiber is a great fit in specific situations:

Best for early-stage bowing or small deflections.
Not intended for walls that have already shifted several inches.

Efficient for homeowners planning to finish a basement and want a clean, low-profile reinforcement.
Often chosen when there’s no desire or ability to add large steel beams.
