Timber Engineering Connectors
Timber engineering connectors, engineered timber connectors, structural metalwork, builders metalwork, metalwork connectors or simply metalwork as we call it is used to tie the timber structure to the rest of the building or to join multiple components together.
Because metalwork connectors form an important and integral part of the structure of trussed rafter and easi-joist packages, E & H Baxendale Ltd source the highest quality timber engineering connectors from two leading metalwork connector manufacturers in the world, Cullen Building Products Ltd and Simpson Strong-Tie.
