With its latest product innovation, the Mauerkirchen based fastening pioneer BECK continues the 360-degree approach of its wooden nail system. After months of work and fine-tuning, the LIGNOLOC® wooden nail with head has reached market maturity. The most recent version of the LIGNOLOC® F60 pneumatic nailer has already been adapted to accept the nails with head.

The nail with head is available now

The main target application is horizontal and vertical wood cladding. The nail with head allows exterior cladding panels to be held securely in position. It has a blunt anti-splitting point and is suitable for the most common softwood façades as well as a wide range of other applications, both indoors and outdoors, such as privacy screens, garden sheds, gazebos, room dividers, etc.

LIGNOLOC® WITH AND WITHOUT HEAD – IDEAL FOR ECOLOGICAL TIMBER CONSTRUCTION

LIGNOLOC® is the first collated wooden nail for future-oriented use in industrial production and ecological wood processing. The revolutionary wooden nails are made from Central European beech wood. The special design of the LIGNOLOC® nail point and the large amount of heat generated by friction when the nail is driven in at a high speed cause the lignin of the wooden nail to weld with the surrounding wood to form a substance-to-substance bond.

The outstanding feature of LIGNOLOC® wooden nails: From production to recycling, they have remarkable eco-friendly properties. European beech wood is a renewable raw material with short transport routes. The wooden nails also convince with many more key benefits: They do not act as thermal bridges and avoid unsightly wood discoloration or traces of corrosion. The nails also cause less tool wear when processing nailed wooden components subsequently.
