The Hardy Frame®

Hardy Frames, Inc. has always been the leader in the pre-fabricated shear wall industry. In fact, the Hardy Frame® shear wall system was the first code approved pre-fabricated shear wall panel on the market, the first to be recognized by ICBO-ES and LA City, and the first to gain approval for multi-story applications. Today, the Hardy Frame® is the first pre-fabricated shear panel that is recognized by the three major building codes: UBC, IBC, and IRC.

In March of 2001, Hardy Frames, Inc. became an affiliate of MiTek Industries, Inc., and in July of that year we became part of the group headed by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. By combining our talents with MiTek’s engineering and software expertise and resources, we have been able to expand and grow by continuing to offer and develop the best products and services for our customers.

Our mission is simply to provide the safest and most cost effective solutions to all of the shear and braced wall challenges facing the building industry. We strive to accomplish this by adopting a process of constant improvement – continuously seeking ways to improve our operations, our products, and our services.
