Fasteners & Wedges
A-PLUS Framing Fasteners
The special steel “A-PLUS Framing Fasteners“ have been designed to improve the quality of the mitre joint.
Its special design allows you to get perfectly closed corners. The high quality steel along with the special silicone adhesive, that we’ve selected in many years of experience, provides a lubricating effect for smoother
penetration into the substrates being joined. All of these enhancements make our wedges the best quality available in the market.
Gielle Wedges
Precision Joinery for Professional Frame Corners
Gielle wedges are V-shaped steel fasteners used in underpinning machines to join mitered corners in picture frame moulding. Made from a special steel alloy with shape-memory properties, the wedge spreads its wings as it penetrates the moulding, then works to return to its original shape — pulling the mitered edges tightly together for a clean, gap-free joint. This tightening action is stronger than that of traditional V-nails and performs well even in multi-stacking applications.
Gielle wedges fit most brands of underpinners, including Cassese Uni, Inmes, Pistorius, Unimatic, Morso, Brevetti Delta, Taurus, and Framers Corner machines
Available in 7mm, 10mm, 12mm, and 15mm (1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8") sizes, with separate formulations for softwood and hardwood mouldings.
PILM Division Wedges
