Installation Guide

From Uneven to Level in Minutes.

No more cutting 100 blocks. No more measuring each one. The Strapper installs in a fraction of the time — here's exactly how.

The Problem with Wood Blocking

Traditional ceiling leveling requires contractors to cut individual wood blocks to compensate for uneven joists. A standard kitchen renovation requires 100 or more blocks — each one measured, cut, and fastened individually. That's over an hour of prep work and $200 in materials before strapping even begins.

The Strapper Solution

One box of 50 Strapper units replaces all of that. Each unit adjusts to the exact height needed in seconds — no cutting, no measuring, no waste. You set your laser, adjust, fasten, and move on.

01

Prepare the room

Clear the ceiling area and identify all joist locations. Determine which joist types are present — standard joists use the U Strapper; perimeter joists, double joists, and LVLs use the L Strapper.

Pro tipPro tip: Mark joist types with chalk before you start to speed up installation.
02

Set your laser level

Use a rotary or line laser to establish the desired finished ceiling height across the entire room. This single reference line guides every Strapper unit — no individual measuring required.

Pro tipPro tip: Set the laser at the lowest point of the room to minimize material waste.
03

Install Strapper units

Working across the ceiling, clip or position each Strapper unit onto its joist. Dial the height adjustment to meet your laser line. Each unit takes seconds to set.

Pro tipPro tip: Work in rows from one end of the room to the other for maximum efficiency.
04

Fasten and verify

Drive two drywall screws or nail gun shots through each unit to lock it in place. Run a straightedge or check with your laser to verify the ceiling plane is consistent.

Pro tipPro tip: A quick laser check after every row catches any adjustments before strapping begins.
05

Strap and finish

With all Strapper units locked in, run your strapping across the ceiling as normal. The level plane is already established — strapping goes on fast and straight.

Pro tipPro tip: The Strapper works with all standard strapping materials and nail patterns.
