StratoBrace (Rigid Ceiling Brace)
The StratoBrace is designed to lock into a two way suspended grid system in order to increase its ability to withstand lateral loads. It is a simple system that is easy to install. If perimeter fixing is insufficient for the seismic demand, a ceiling must be restrained to the structure above using another method such as StratoBrace.
This product provides a strong, effective and tested method to provide lateral restraint.
StratoBrace supports the I AM HOPE Foundation.
