Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which BIX wood joiner biscuit is right for my needs?

Bix Sizes 20, 10 and 0 are compatible with any commercially available biscuit slot-cutting machine with a blade diameter of 100mm and a slot kerf of 4mm. The size you use depends upon the size of the board or the frame you are using. Use the larger size biscuit wherever possible for strength.

Bix Size 5 is ideal for joins where slot space is limited e.g. picture frames or door frames. The minimum door/picture frame width is 35mm. The maximum frame rebate is 7mm. The 120 degree angle 'cut out' design feature eliminates biscuit interference with timber or glass infill panels inserted in the door/picture frame rebate.

How do I achieve joint bonding?

Joint bonding is achieved using Bix wood joiner biscuits and any high quality PVA glue. This glue, being water based, assists in expanding the biscuit thickness to make a nice, tight join.
