Used increasingly
in the repair and upgrading of structural timber, epoxy resins offer
many advantages because of their excellent adhesive qualities, high
mechanical strength and resistance to decay.
For beam end repairs, joint stabilisation and floor stiffening, there
are many benefits -
Faster repairs – and so reduced costs.
Better aesthetics – the external appearance of timber
can be maintained.
Structural advantages – by retaining existing bearing
configurations.

been used to repair decayed beam ends in these major structural
timbers in a warehouse conversion in Lincoln.
