Shop galvanised angle brackets for timber connections and general building applications. Wade stocks Expamet metal angle brackets in a range of sizes, including light-duty and heavy-duty options for different connection requirements.
Angle brackets provide a simple right-angle connection between timber members and other suitable building elements. Available in different sizes and duty ratings, they can be used for a wide range of construction and timber-framing connections where a secure 90-degree fixing is required.
Wade's current range includes galvanised Expamet angle brackets in standard, light-duty and heavy-duty configurations, allowing the bracket to be selected according to the size and loading requirements of the connection.
Standard, light-duty or heavy-duty angle brackets?
The appropriate angle bracket depends on the members being connected, the forces acting on the connection and the required fixing arrangement. A larger bracket is not automatically suitable for a higher structural load, so the product specification and intended duty should be checked rather than selecting on dimensions alone.
Standard & light-duty angle brackets
Compact galvanised brackets for suitable timber and general building connections. Wade's current Expamet range includes several bracket dimensions for different connection sizes.
More substantial brackets intended for connections requiring a higher-duty fixing. Wade's current range includes the Expamet HD9090 heavy-duty galvanised angle bracket.
Wade currently stocks several Expamet galvanised angle bracket configurations, including the HD9090 heavy-duty bracket. Check the required bracket dimensions and duty before selecting a product.

Choosing the right angle bracket
Start with the required connection and supporting materials rather than bracket size alone. Consider the load on the connection, the dimensions of the members being joined and the type and number of fixings required by the bracket specification.
Galvanised metal angle brackets
Galvanised steel provides corrosion protection for appropriate building and timber-framing applications. The required material and level of corrosion resistance should still be considered alongside the bracket's dimensions and load requirements, particularly where the connection may be exposed to moisture.
For structural work, check the required bracket specification and fixing arrangement before ordering rather than substituting a different size or duty of angle bracket.
