10 Pack of 16mm Hardwood Wooden Dowels - 60cm Long

Product Information

We have tried to provide as many standard dowel sizes as possible and we display our sizes in both imperial and metric. Additionally, dowel rods can be used when looking to reinforce concrete in one horizontal direction, whilst allowing some movement in a direction perpendicular to the initial direction. This is the common reason for dowel rod use in road repairs (known as dowel bar retrofit). Cylindrical dowel bars allow reduced frictional resistance- offering flexibility in the joint for concrete to contract, or expand due to moisture content and temperature fluctuations. Diameters available include 6mm, 5/16", 11/32", 9.5mm (3/8"), 12mm (1/2"), 15mm, 18mm, 19mm (3/4"),20mm, 21mm, 7/8", 25mm (1"), 30mm, 35mm, 1 1/2", 45mm, 50mm (2"), 60mm and 76mm (3")

In roadway reinforcement, dowel rods are designed to transfer loads between slabs effectively, by presenting the leave slab with a certain amount of load before the load is fully transferred. This reduces the stress involved when direct load transfer takes place. For this process to work effectively, dowel bars must either be coated in epoxy or encase within dowel sleeves. Smaller wooden dowels are perfect for cake dowels, wedding ribbon wands, dowel joints, school projects and arrow dowelling.The “Permasleeve” dowel system can offer a benefits in certain areas over the more traditional round bar dowel bars normally used in contraction and expansion joints. Horizontal movement is facilitated by the use of two foam strips on each side of the sleeve but without allowing vertical any movement. This improves bending and shear resistance over a normal round bar dowel and the implications of misaligned dowels. The Permasleeve is 300mm long and accepts a 20mm square dowel. 600mm long normally, other lengths are available or cut to your requirements. Please note, smaller diameters are not available in the longer lengths as they are susceptible to breaking We are the premier fusion bonded polymeric and epoxy coated dowel bar specialist in the UK. In accordance with the Highway’s Agency Series 1000, Clause 1011 specification our polymeric and epoxy coated dowels provide good anti-corrosion qualities complying with the specifications salt spray test in accordance with BS.EN ISO 9227:2006 Dowel rods are also often used in wall construction without sleeves, to create a structurally sound connection between two or more concrete pours. Due to the potential for laitance, it is important that the surfaces are cleaned well before subsequent pours take place.

Steel dowel bars are used to create a debonded dowelled joint; reinforcing the connection between two or more concrete slabs to improve strength and force transfer. Larger sizes in oak and ash dowels are ideal for use as curtain rails, flag poles or to suspend banners from.

Dowel sleeves are sold in boxes of 100no. Dowel caps 100mm long made from rigid plastic with a compressible filler at one end to allow for expansion, sizes to suite 12mm - 32mm smooth dowel bars and come in bags of 100no.
