Wooden connecting slats

Product detailed description

Lamela is a type of wooden fastening system that was invented and patented by the Swiss company Lamello in 1955. The company's founder, Hermann Steiner, came up with the idea of the slat joint while looking for a more efficient and faster way to join wooden parts without having to use traditional joining techniques such as nails or screws.

A batten, also known as a "biscuit" or "plate joiner", is a small oval or rectangular piece of compressed wood that is inserted into milled grooves on the pieces to be joined. The grooves are milled with a special tool, the slat cutter, which ensures that the grooves on both parts to be joined are in exactly the same place and at the right depth. After inserting the slats into the grooves and applying the adhesive, the joint starts to tighten and after the adhesive dries, it forms a very strong and stable connection.

The product quickly became popular in the joinery and furniture industry due to its simplicity, reliability and strength of the joint. Slats are available in a variety of sizes and are suitable for a wide range of applications, including joining straight or angled edges, furniture components, frames and other timber structures.

Today, the Lamello brand is known worldwide and their products are still widely used by professionals and amateurs in the woodworking industry. The company continues to develop new technologies and improve its products to meet the changing needs of the market and customers.

These wooden joining slats are made from birch, a tree known for its strength, flexibility and lightness, making it the ideal material for making these unobtrusive but essential helpers in the woodworking industry. Birch, which grows in the colder regions of the northern hemisphere, provides a wood that is not only durable but also aesthetically pleasing with a finely textured surface that contributes to the precise joining of furniture parts or other wooden structures.

Thanks to their dimensions, the slats are suitable for various types of joints and applications:

• Size "0" with dimensions 47 x 15 x 4 mm: ideal for thin and delicate materials where an inconspicuous but firm joint is needed.
• Size "10" with dimensions 53 x 19 x 4 mm: generally useful for medium-sized projects where strength and aesthetics of the joint need to be balanced.
• Size "20" with dimensions 56 x 23 x 4 mm: provides even greater strength and is suitable for more robust constructions where a high load resistance of the joint is needed.
• For the most demanding projects where maximum strength and stability is required, there is the"S6" sizewith dimensions of 85 x 30 x 4 mm, which is not afraid to stand up to even the biggest challenges in timber construction.
• Regardless of the size of the slat, each one is precision engineered for a perfect fit and easy installation.

The ecological benefit of the slats is also supported by the flexibility in packaging that is offered. Small packs of 50 pieces allow customers who only need a limited amount of material or want to test the product first to purchase only the quantity they need, thus reducing their waste footprint.

This helps prevent overconsumption and unnecessary accumulation of material that could then go unused. On the other hand, the 1,000-piece pack is suitable for large manufacturers and professionals who need large volumes of material for their continuous work. Wholesale packaging reduces the amount of packaging material relative to the number of products, which means there is less packaging waste per unit of product. This not only has economic benefits, but also reduces the environmental footprint associated with the production and distribution of products.

The 'only as much as you need' approach to packaging also helps to reduce excess consumption and promotes sustainable production and consumption. Combined with recyclable and sustainable materials, the slat is a product that is not only functional and efficient, but also environmentally friendly.
