LIGNOLOC® for building walls in mass timber construction
Forester Johannes Haas builds his house in mass timber construction completely metal-free and with LIGNOLOC® wooden nails. He is thinking far into the future. If the house is ever torn down, no special waste made of wood and metal that has to be disposed of separately. He explains the exact construction of the wooden walls in the video.
More fire protection? LIGNOLOC® in the NCLT fire test
LIGNOLOC® in the NCLT fire test. Is it possible to achieve an even higher level of fire protection on walls made of cross-laminated timber by using the collated wooden nails? Stefan Siemers, head of the research and development department at BECK, reports on the experiment that was carried out together with the ETH in Zurich and what the experts' conclusions were.
LIGNOLOC® technichal approval
On August 28, 2020, the German Institute for Construction Engineering (Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik – DIBt) issued the “National technical approval / general construction technique permit” for “Load-bearing timber connections using LIGNOLOC® wooden nails”. After extensive tests and complex calculation models, all expectations of the expert committee were met. The project team headed by General Manager Christian Beck explains the time consuming process.
LIGNOLOC® in timber construction
Ecological timber construction is important to master carpenter Johannes Reisecker. He used LIGNOLOC® wooden nails from BECK to fasten the solid wood elements in his private home. In this interview he explains the advantages of a house made entirely from wood.
Ecological timber construction
down to the smallest detail -
with LIGNOLOC®
Ecological timber construction is an important and sustainable contribution to environmental protection. Because wood is a natural and renewable building material. With a very special ability: wood binds carbon. Now even: nail by nail. Thanks to LIGNOLOC® - the first collated nail made of wood. With which ecological timber construction can be realized down to the smallest detail. Now with technical approval: On August 28, 2020, the German Institute for Construction Engineering (Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik – DIBt) issued the “National technical approval / general construction technique permit” for “Load-bearing timber connections using LignoLoc® wooden nails”.
