Fastener Suppliers for the Marine Industry

When it comes to marine fasteners, Harrison Silverdale brings together the right product range, proper engineering know-how and a quality system approved to ISO 9001:2015.

About Threaded Inserts for Composites

Composites such as GRP, carbon fibre and sandwich panels are strong and light, but they don't hold a tapped thread well. Threaded inserts spread the load into the material and give a proper metal thread for fixing brackets, hinges and hardware. The right insert depends on the laminate, the core and the loads involved.

Fasteners for the Marine Industry

Boats and marine equipment use a lot of GRP and composite mouldings, plus fittings exposed to damp and salt. Threaded inserts for composites give secure fixing points for hardware and fittings without relying on a thread cut into the laminate.

Choosing the Right Threaded Inserts for Composites

Composite panels vary a lot, so a one-size answer rarely works.

Typical Applications

• GRP and fibreglass mouldings
• Carbon fibre panels and structures
• Honeycomb and sandwich panels
• Vehicle body panels and interiors
• Marine and leisure mouldings
