Why Professional Splicing Matters
A professionally executed splice retains up to 95% of the rope's original strength, while knots typically reduce strength by 40-60%. For critical marine applications like anchor lines and mooring systems, this difference can be vital for safety.
Our splicing service uses traditional techniques combined with modern understanding of rope construction to deliver splices that are:
- Stronger than knots - maximum strength retention
- Neater appearance - professional finish
- Less bulk - easier to handle and stow
- Permanent - won't come undone under load
- Custom sized - perfect fit for your hardware
