A composite set designed for the restoration of structural support beams composed of hardened cement mixtures. These sets typically contain materials such as epoxy resins, patching mortars specifically formulated for cementitious substrates, reinforcing fibers (e.g., carbon fiber), and application tools. For instance, a homeowner might use such a set to address cracking or spalling on a load-bearing beam above a window.
The value of using such a set lies in its ability to reinstate the structural integrity of compromised horizontal supports, preventing further deterioration and potential safety hazards. Historically, complete replacement was often the only solution. Now, these sets offer a more cost-effective and less disruptive alternative, extending the lifespan of existing building components and reducing the need for extensive demolition and reconstruction.
