Venona Wood Joints

The aesthetically appealing and strong connections with Venona Wood Joints are perfect for creating wooden pillar-beam frames and structures. The pre-fabricated wooden joint components make the construction phase easy and fast, and does not require notable construction skills – main tools are glue and hand-held wooden hammer. The raising of the frame is possible without massive crane equipment, and the metal-free frame is easy to dismantle for later recycling.

The strength of the connections has been tested at the Wood Laboratory of Savonia Polytechnic (download a report on the key measures). The patented Venona Wood Joints work with glue lam, CLT, LVL and Parallam connections.
