High-intensity, high-design GIR joint "Home Connector"

【A must-see for design and structural firms!】Structures that were previously difficult in wooden construction can now be realized by using home connectors.

The Home Connector is a wood joining system that employs the GIR (Glued In Rod) joining technology. By housing the joining hardware within the wood and integrating it with adhesive, it achieves high rigidity, high seismic resistance, and high design quality in wooden structures, which were difficult to realize with conventional methods. With the use of the Home Connector, structural forms that were previously challenging in wooden architecture, such as wooden frame structures, cantilevers, bracing, tree-like structures, and lattice structures, can now be realized. Furthermore, it allows for the joining of different materials, such as wood with steel frames and wood with reinforced concrete. There are numerous applications ranging from residential buildings to medium and large wooden structures, public facilities, and commercial establishments. 【Features of the Home Connector】 ■ High strength and high rigidity Enables semi-rigid connections that minimize play at the joints Achieves wooden frame structures and high seismic resistance structures ■ Beautiful finish with hidden hardware Since the joining hardware is housed within the wood, it does not compromise the natural beauty of the wood, allowing for high-design wooden architecture that faithfully expresses the architect's intent ■ Excellent durability The hardware is completely protected by epoxy resin, suppressing rust and condensation Capable of withstanding harsh environments such as salt damage areas and hot water pools
