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 Com

Composite panels vary a lot, so a one-size answer rarely works. Harrison Silverdale's core range includes fasteners for composites, and the team can help match an insert to the panel build and the fixing loads before you commit to a design.
