The Z-Wall is the strongest pre-engineered shear wall available. The Z-Wall has been specifically designed for earthquakes, hurricanes and high winds. The Z-Walldoes not loosen up under cyclic loading. The Z-Wall requires less labor and is faster to install.  

The Z-Wall does not produce bulges in your wall finishes. The Z-Wall fits neatly between your studs, and is an excellent replacement for other traditional shear walls such as plywood, OSB, and flat strap metal bracing.


The Z-Wall can be easily and quickly installed by your framing contractor along with your studs or may be pre-installed within your stud wall by your panelizer. Diaphragm screwing and nailing is not necessary, nor is installation of separate holdowns.
  The Z-Wall has been designed so that two story stacked shear walls are so easy to install, they become a natural part of the framing installation. The Z-Wall fits neatly into your garage return walls.The Z-Wall offers shear strength here you need it.
