Simpson Strong-Tie will showcase several innovative and time-saving products at the International Builders Show (IBS) in Orlando, FL, Jan. 10-13. In addition, professional contractor Mike Holmes will visit the Simpson Strong-Tie exhibit on Tuesday in booth W4641.

Simpson Strong Tie products featured at IBS:

  • Outdoor Accents decorative hardware is a new line of screws, washers, angles, straps and post bases that combine strength and beauty for building custom outdoor living structures.
  • LSSJ is an innovative, field-adjustable jack hanger that makes installation quick and intuitive. It features a one-sided connection point for ease of installation and a versatile, hinged seat.
  • HHRC is a hip-ridge connector with a higher capacity for heavier hip loads.
  • Strong-Drive SDWF Floor-to-Floor screw simplifies the wind-uplift restraint connection, making it faster to install while providing superior performance over the life of the structure.
  • Strong-Drive SWDC Truss screw provides a stud-to-bottom plate or stud-to-top plate connection as well as fastening trusses and rafters to top plates.
  • Strong-Drive SDWS Framing screw is designed to replace nails. The screw reduces torque and increases holding power making installation faster, easier and more secure.
  • Strong-Wall Wood shearwall, a redesigned prefabricated wood shearwall with a new holdown featuring front, side and back access to the anchor templates and bolts, provides greater flexibility for installation and inspection.
  • URFP universal retrofit foundation plate offers increased loads with the same installation flexibility. It provides a retrofit method to secure the mudsill to the foundation – ideal where there is minimum vertical clearance.
  • MPBZ moment post base is the first post base specifically designed to provide moment resistance for columns or posts. This patent-pending post base encapsulates the post to help resist rotation around its base.
