Vertical I-beams, also known as steel beams, are another robust solution for bowed walls. These beams are installed vertically against the wall, offering substantial resistance to the lateral forces causing the wall to bow. The installation process begins with an assessment of the degree of bowing to determine the number and placement of the I-beams. Small sections of the floor and ceiling are then removed where the beams will be installed. Steel I-beams are fitted into place and anchored to the floor and ceiling joists. The beams are tightened to press against the wall, providing immediate reinforcement. The high-load capacity of Vertical I-beams makes them ideal for severe bowing. They are incredibly durable, ensuring long-term stability and can be tightened over time to provide ongoing support.
