Angle iron for Insulating Log Cabin - Covers wood effect - Per piece

This corner iron is the ideal solution to absorb the action of wood in your log cabin. With these brackets, you can easily manage the shrinking and expansion of wood boards, which is essential for the durability of your log cabin. Each board of the log cabin profile can shrink or expand by 2-3 mm, and with an average of 15 to 17 boards in a log cabin, the height of the log cabin can vary by up to 45 mm. Securing beams directly to the walls can put pressure on the wood and create gaps.

Fixing angle brackets

The installation of angle brackets in a log cabin is easy. Securing the battens using the clips, with a screw in both round holes and in the slot also a screw. For these corner irons, we recommend chipboard screws galvanised 4 x 30 mm or 4 x 25 mm Torx. Make sure the screws are not overtightened, to allow room for the shrinking (in dry weather) and expansion (in humid weather) of the outer walls. Start with one wall and repeat these steps for the other walls to ensure even and reliable support for your log cabin insulation.

A hardwood drill bit is always required for secure fastening in Hardwood. With Softwood, pre-drilling is usually unnecessary. When using chipboard screws, it is essential to use a hardwood drill bit two sizes smaller than the diameter of the screw. For example, for a 4 mm thick screw, choose a 2 mm hardwood drill bit.
