Carbon Fiber Takes Over Diy Home Repair As The Building Material Of Choice
Carbon fiber has earned its place as the building material of choice in many industries. It has become extremely popular in: aerospace, motor sports, infrastructure, and defense. The reason carbon fiber is considered a miracle building material is due to its lightweight yet incredibly strong properties. Carbon fiber is composed mostly of carbon atoms, which are bonded together in microscopic crystals, which are more or less aligned parallel to the long axis of the fiber. When combined with a plastic resin and woven or molded, it provides a high strength to weight building repair material. At a 1/16th of an inch, carbon fiber is very strong and long lasting when used as a strengthening material, or for repair projects, such as cracked basement floors and bowing wall repairs. Carbon fiber is becoming increasingly popular in the basement repair industry because of its lightweight, exceptional strength, and corrosion resistant benefits. Carbon fiber is also becoming well recognized in do-it-yourself repair kits for homeowners. By not having to deal with steel or similarly heavy building material, homeowners familiar with surface preparation can undertake carbon home repairs.
How homeowners tackle basement repairs with carbon fiber
In the age of the do-it-yourselfer, more homeowners are seeking out alternatives repair systems to save time and money. The beauty of carbon fiber is in its ability to get repair jobs done with relative ease. Stronghold™, a division of HJ3 Composite Technologies, LLC, offers carbon fiber repair kits for common basement problems. The kits are fantastic for handy homeowners experienced in the process of preparing concrete surfaces and working with resins. Not only do the repair kits contain all of the carbon fiber necessary to complete the repair, but also the kits include all of the tools and instructional videos necessary. Best of all, the entire process is completed in four steps. Take the issue of a bowed basement wall as a common example of a do-it-yourself repair job, completed with a carbon fiber repair kit from Stronghold Basements. The only steps required for the bowed wall laminate repair kit are:
1. Surface prep and prime.
2. Apply tack coat to wall and carbon fiber laminate.
3. Place carbon fiber laminate strip.
4. Paint.
It's really that easy, and when compared to hiring a contractor to install heavy steel anchors or steel beams, the price is very affordable. Especially when considering the convenience of having tools and training included.
