The Importance of Bracing for Plumb Walls

Metal braces are your best option to ensure the straightest wall possible. They offer a higher level of consistency since wood itself is not always straight, which can affect the wall. They are easy to use and can be installed much more quickly than wood bracing. Metal systems also have a much longer life expectancy than wood since they can be used over and over again. In addition, adjustments can be made easily after the concrete is poured with metal bracing. With wood bracing this can be difficult and dangerous,Plumbing the walls is one of the very last things to be done on an ICF project. Always stack corners to plumb but intentionally lean wall segments inward 1/4” towards the bracing. Since plumbing brace is typically installed on the inside of the walls only, this is done incase the wall bulges towards the bracing. It is much easier to push a concrete wall outward rather than pull it inward.
