iLevel’s Shear Brace prefabricated shear panel has received ICC-ES 2009 IBC/IRC code compliance verification for tall walls (up to 20 feet) and two-story applications. Available in a range of heights from 7 to 20 feet and widths of 12, 18 and 24 inches, Shear Brace provides a way to build braced walls in narrow wall segments with multiple window and door openings, including around garage doors.
