Kits include unidirectional carbon fiber fabric, StarTech structural epoxy, roller, and all installation tools. Kit options: 8-inch straps for poured concrete, 12-inch BigFoot straps for CMU block walls. Bulk Unidirectional Carbon Fiber by the Foot — 4 Widths, 3 DensitiesAvailable in 4", 6", 8", and 12" widths in 300, 450, and 600 GSM. ASTM-tested with full laminate test data. Volume pricing at 50ft and 150ft. StarTech structural epoxy included. Carbon Fiber Stitches & Staples for Crack RepairPre-tensioned carbon fiber stitches and countersunk staples transfer stress across repaired cracks, extending structural integrity and preventing re-cracking after epoxy injection. Used on foundation walls, concrete floors, and pool decks. When to Use Carbon Fiber vs Crack InjectionUse crack injection (epoxy or polyurethane) to seal the crack. Add carbon fiber straps or stitches where additional tensile reinforcement is required — bowing walls, recurring cracks, or walls under lateral soil pressure. Carbon fiber is not a substitute for injection on leaking cracks. Less Intrusive Than Steel — Flush, Paintable FinishCarbon fiber straps mount flush to the wall and become nearly invisible once painted — unlike bulky I-beams or steel tie-back systems that protrude into usable basement space or require heavy construction equipment.
