Timber Fixings

Angle brackets: Have a vital role in maintaining the stability and integrity of timber structures. Available for light and heavy-duty applications, they are designed to connect timber at various angles and accommodate an array of load-bearing demands, reinforce and support in applications such as framing, truss joints, and bracing.

Frame ties: Are for timber connections play a critical role in securing and reinforcing the framework of timber structures. Used to connect, fasten, and strengthen timber elements in construction projects between framing elements, curbing lateral movement and bolstering stability. From wall framing to roof systems, frame ties provide steadfast support for diverse applications.

Both frame ties and angle brackets not only build connections but also contribute to the longevity and safety of timber projects across the construction landscape.
