As the continuous utility straps that quite literally hold job sites together, coiled straps are all too often the unsung backbones of structures and buildings. These straps can be used for a variety of connections such as stud to band joist, floor to floor, and pile to girder. Coiled straps can also act as reinforcements for wall intersections, windows, and roof panels.
In addition to making contracting jobs easier, coiled straps’ main purpose is to help maintain a continuous load path in order to lessen potential damages from high winds and seismic activity. These straps are considered to be an important part of buildings by both insurance companies and code officials.
