Modern
Epoxies are a crucial component in our connection and fixing systems.
In the good old days timber connections relied on accurately crafted wooden
dowels or well conceived and crafted joints. In testament to this
almost forgotten era, centuries latter many of these structures still stand, as
strong as the day they were built. Over the generations much of this
knowledge has been lost or forgotten ,in recent times we made up for this
deficiency but bolting a few lumps of metal either side of the join.
Venturers philosophy is to embrace the knowledge of the past, and combine it
with technology from today, hence instead of machining minutely accurate
dowelled joins we can now simply and quickly bore and dowel with the use of
epoxy, this delivers a clean looking join as strong as the surrounding
member. Due to the many different requirements of a fixing/joining
system for example: Dissimilar materials, high visibility, speed of
installation, we require a custom made product. For many years we
compromised with off the shelf products, these were always a compromise as many
of them are formulated for concrete related applications like rebar starter
which only involves squirting goo into holes! Out of desperation to
find the right product, we were fortunate to convince a leading manufacturer
formerly based in the USA to formulate products to meet our needs. |
