Wooden frame repair using our Epoxy Resins will extend the life of any type of timber building frame - window frames, door frames and timber frames are ideal for repair with epoxies because the resin does not shrink or expand and it is totally waterproof.

Rotted wooden frames can have new corners, ends or mid sections spliced into place using our epoxy resin adhesives. These adhesives will set at any thickness, so exact fit carpentry is not required.
