Concealed Post Connectors for Timber Columns 2

BASIS concealed post connectors are engineered for the precise attachment of timber columns and posts to solid substrates such as concrete, stone, or masonry. Designed for architectural and interior timber construction, the BASIS system delivers a clean, force-fit connection with minimal visible hardware while ensuring accurate alignment and long-term stability.

As an extension of the ACRO concealed connector system, BASIS combines a factory-mounted ACRO connector with a galvanized steel base plate. This integrated design supports efficient prefabrication, fast on-site installation, and controlled adjustment without restricting natural timber movement.

Engineered for Architectural Timber Columns

BASIS post connectors create a self-tensioning connection between the timber column and the supporting substrate. Once installed, only a narrow joint line remains visible, making the system ideal for applications where visual cleanliness and precision detailing are critical.

The connection remains fully disassemblable, allowing columns to be removed or adjusted during installation, transport, or future modification. BASIS connectors are intended for fixed column and post applications and are not designed for freestanding columns.
