Designed by BECK, the LIGNOLOC® range of wooden nails have been specially designed for use in structural timber construction and recently the product has been granted European Technical Assessment (ETA), allowing LIGNOLOC® to be used throughout the EU.
The approval applies to the nails without a head and enables the planning, design, and execution of load-bearing connections in timber frame construction. The provisions made are based on the assumed intended working life of the LIGNOLOC® nails – 50 years.
“This is a massive step forward for us and for our pursuit to establish LIGNOLOC® as a standard practice in the European building sector and to further advance the ecological turn- around in construction. With the ETA, the static verification can be carried out according to Eurocode 5,” explains Christian Beck, general manager & CEO. “We also expect the approval for the LIGNOLOC® wooden nails with head for façade applications this year.”
Becca is the latest member to join our team and is eager to get stuck into the world of fasteners. She brings an enthusiastic and fresh outlook on what we do editorially and will be leading our social media activity – including sourcing material, editing articles and posting online.
