Vertibrace
Description

The Vertibrace is a partition wall restraint. T&R has developed Vertibrace in response to architects' needs for a partition restraint solution that deals with the vertical movement of a building. This movement can be caused by wind and seismic events as well as live/dead loads imposed on the floor above.

The Vertibrace provides lateral bracing and removes the need for deflection headtrack. It prevents many of the issues seen during the Christchurch, Kaikoura and Seddon Earthquakes, helping to ensure occupant safety and limit non-structural partition damage.

Key Features
  • The Vertibrace consists of a cylinder that connects to the upper surface of a wall structure, and a stem that connects to the building structure above
  • The stem is designed to move within the cylinder along the longitudinal axis of the body
  • Provides lateral bracing and removes the need for deflection headtrack
Scope of Use
  • Commercial non-load bearing partitions in offices, schools, hospitals
Statement of Building Code Compliance

The Vertibrace has been extensively tested to exceed the New Zealand building Code using sound engineering principles.

The performance and capacity of all brackets has been quantified by extensive physical testing.
