FT CONNECTORThe FT Connector is the composite solution for fastening pre-manufactured precast concrete-slabs to mass timber wall or floor elements. FT Connectors are used to achieve composite action between already cured precast concrete slabs and mass timber elements eliminating formwork and shoring, the 28 day curing period, and the concrete pumps on site. The pre-manufacturing process reduces on-site exposure to water and water caused staining on mass timber elements.
