Stabilise bowing walls

Bow Flex

What is a bowing wall?

A bowing wall bulges outward in the center, while the top and bottom stay fixed. It’s not the same as a leaning wall, where the entire structure tilts, and it also differs from a bulging wall, which often involves de-lamination of the outer layer. Accurate diagnosis is key, and our expert team knows how to spot the difference.

Common causes of bowing walls

Excessive weight above the wall
The wall may be under more load than it was designed to support.

Poor structural connections
Weak ties to floors or adjacent walls can make the wall unstable.

Ground movement or vibrations
Nearby construction or heavy traffic can slowly push the wall outward over time.

Bowing vs. bulging walls

Bowing walls result from structural stress and poor support, while bulging walls are usually caused by outer wall separation or insulation issues. Our team carefully assesses the situation to provide the right solution.

How we fix bowing walls

Trying to push a bowing wall back into place can make the problem worse. Instead, we stop the movement by reinforcing the wall with stainless steel ties using our Bow Flex or Bow Flex Type2 systems.

These ties are installed through the outer wall and into the floor joists, then bonded in place using Bond Flex grout or resin. The result is a stable, reinforced wall, without major demolition.
