FAQ
What is a builders band?
A builders band is a galvanised steel strap used to reinforce timber structures. It provides diagonal bracing in walls, roofs, or floors, helping prevent sideways movement caused by wind or load. It’s a simple way to add strength and stability to wooden frames.
How to use a builders band?
To use a builders band, cut it to length and lay it diagonally across a timber frame, such as wall studs or roof rafters. Secure one end, apply tension, then fix the other end. It adds support by resisting lateral movement in the structure.
How to attach a builders band?
A builders band has pre-punched holes for easy fixing. Use nails, screws, or bolts to secure it to timber. Start at one end, pull it tight across the frame, and fix the other end. Proper tension ensures the bracing does its job effectively.
