SHARP – steel hooked plates

The plates have a multitude of small hooks, spread all over the steel surface. The joint is made by the mechanical engagement of the metal hooks in the timber.

The large number of hooks distributed over the entire surface generates a biting grip of the plates in the timber with exceptional strength and stiffness values . The connection performance is comparable to the ad-hesion of a bonding agent . Non-invasive and uninstallable system.

The forces are absorbed by the hooks and distributed over the entire sur-face. Concentrated forces are eliminated and the problem of minimum distances is reduced. The thickness of the steel (0 .75 mm) is optimised so it can be screwed without pre-drilling with HBS and TBS screws for tightening the joint.
