Perfect joints
Frame Fast UK is one of the first companies to offer sash windows manufactured using Jade Engineering’s new MechWeld system.
Nigel Leivers, director at Frame Fast, said: “Over the last 12 months we have been testing the new machines in real factory conditions, and it’s been great. We had been looking for a solution for our popular Modus flush sash windows, and the new Jade MechWeld Joint solution means we can weld a timber-look joint without the fixings or glue needed to make a mechanical joint.”
The MechWeld machine includes tooling specially developed for the process and combines four milling machines – two for sash and two for frame joints – and a Kombiamatic two-headed welder. The joints are stronger because a welded mechanical timber joint can be created without fixings or glue.
