We utilise a state-of-the-art, European built, continuous vertical finger jointer, and our finger jointing process is engineered to enhance structural integrity, ensuring robust connections for long-lasting performance achieving nearly the same strength as components grown in one piece. This method provides a strong, reliable connection that supports the structural integrity and longevity of wood products.

The benefits of Finger Jointing

Engineered for stability

Finger-jointed timber is typically of high grade because defects are removed during the manufacturing process, leaving only the best lengths. This results in a fine quality product. Finger jointing reduces waste, and the timber lengths can be specified and produced to meet client requirements, cutting down on fitting times and expenses.
The purpose of structural finger joints is to maintain the strength of a piece of timber over its full length. Finger jointing offers greater stability compared to a single, large piece of timber, which can be prone to distortion.

STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY

The vertical continuous finger jointer creates precise and tight joints, significantly enhancing the wood’s structural integrity. This method ensures stronger and more resilient connections, ideal for structural applications where durability is crucial.

INCREASED MATERIAL UTILISATION

Finger jointing efficiently uses wood by connecting shorter pieces to form longer lengths. This process significantly reduces waste, optimises the use of available materials, and helps conserve resources.

COST EFFICIENCY

Finger jointing is cost-effective because it maximises material usage and reduces waste. It allows the use of off-cuts and smaller pieces of timber that would otherwise be discarded, lowering material costs.

VERSATILITY

Finger-jointed wood can be used in various applications, from building materials to furniture. The strength and durability provided by the continuous vertical finger jointing process make it suitable for both structural uses and aesthetic applications where longer wood pieces are required.

DIMENSIONAL STABILITY

Finger jointing helps distribute natural variations and imperfections in the wood, such as knots and grain patterns, across the joined pieces. This contributes to a final product less prone to warping, twisting, or bending, maintaining its form better over time. 

SUSTAINABILITY

Using a vertical continuous finger jointer aligns with eco-friendly practices. Enhancing material efficiency and utilising PUR glue in a formaldehyde-free facility makes finger jointing a sustainable production process that minimises harmful emissions and waste.
