CONNECTORS PRODUCT RANGE
Construction and woodworking connectors are specialized components designed to join and reinforce structural elements efficiently and securely. In construction, connectors like joist hangers, angle brackets, post bases, truss plates, and bearing plates provide strong, load-bearing joints for wood, concrete, and masonry applications. Common fasteners such as nails and screws also serve as essential connectors, offering cost-effective and reliable joining solutions. Together, these connectors ensure structural integrity, ease of assembly, and aesthetic appeal across a wide range of building and woodworking projects.
CONSTRUCTION CONNECTORS
In construction, connectors like joist hangers, angle brackets, post bases, truss plates, and bearing plates provide strong, load-bearing joints for wood, concrete, and masonry applications.
WOODWORKING CONNECTORS
In woodworking, concealed connectors, dowel connections, biscuit joints, and slide-in connectors enable clean, durable, and often modular assemblies for furniture and cabinetry.
APPLICATIONS
Construction Connectors:
- Joist Hangers: Used to securely attach floor or ceiling joists to beams or ledger boards, ensuring stable wood-to-wood or wood-to-concrete connections in residential and commercial framing.
- Angle Brackets & Straps: Reinforce joints in framing, secure beams to columns, and connect wall sections, providing additional strength and stability in structural frameworks.
- Post Bases: Anchor vertical posts to concrete or masonry foundations, offering support and preventing movement in decks, pergolas, fences, and other post-supported structures.
- Truss Plates: Create strong, load-rated joints in roof trusses and heavy timber construction by fastening wood members together with metal plates.
- Bearing Plates: Connect timber beams to concrete or concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls at column tops, distributing loads and ensuring structural stability.
Woodworking Connectors:
- Concealed Connectors: Ideal for furniture and cabinetry where a clean, seamless appearance is desired without visible fasteners.
- Dowel Connectors: Used in furniture making and cabinetry to create strong, often removable joints by inserting wooden dowels into aligned holes.
- Biscuit Connectors: Join wood panels in cabinetry, tabletops, and paneling with invisible, strong joints using small wooden biscuits inserted into slots.
- Slide-In Connectors: Facilitate easy assembly and disassembly of modular furniture and flat-pack designs, allowing for convenient transport and reconfiguration.
