Squeaky Walls? Is it a Mouse? The first instinct is to check for pests, which is understandable. Nobody wants an unruly rodent running around in the walls! Don’t call the exterminator just yet, it could be that your walls are squeaking due to loosened screws or nails. Here we’re going to explore wall installation techniques that will ensure the noise is not a result of metal fasteners rubbing against wood - which is common in a home that was built without the use of BECK’s SCRAIL® SUBLOC® PRO nail screw fasteners.

Pneumatic tools offer several advantages over other types of tools. One of the main benefits is their power-to-weight ratio. Pneumatic tools are lightweight and compact, yet they have the power to perform heavy-duty tasks. This makes them highly efficient and easy to handle.
Another advantage of pneumatic tools is their versatility. They can be used for a wide range of applications, including automotive repair, construction, woodworking, and metalworking. Whether you need to drive nails, tighten bolts, or sand surfaces, FASCO® (a BECK brand) pneumatic tools can get the job done.
Pneumatic tools are also known for their durability and long lifespan. They are designed to withstand heavy use and can handle tough working conditions. With proper maintenance (be sure to read the manufacturer’s directions), pneumatic tools can last for many years, making them a cost-effective choice for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.

Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) construction has seen a significant rise in popularity in recent years. This innovative building technique involves using multiple layers of wood panels that are glued together at right angles. The result is a strong and durable material that can be used for various applications in construction.
One of the main reasons for the rise of CLT construction is its environmental benefits. As concerns about climate change and sustainability continue to grow, architects, engineers, and builders are turning to CLT as an eco-friendlier alternative to traditional construction methods. BECK has responded to this concern with the LIGNOLOC® Wooden Nail System for sustainable fastening of CLT, LCLT, and NLT materials. Let’s explore more.

Understanding Joists and Their Importance
Joists are an essential component of any construction project, providing structural support and stability to the building. They are horizontal members that are typically installed parallel to each other and spaced apart to create a framework for the floors, ceilings, and roofs.
The primary function of joists is to distribute the weight of the structure and any applied loads evenly across the supporting walls or beams. This helps to prevent excessive deflection or sagging, ensuring the integrity and safety of the building.
In addition to their load-bearing capabilities, joists also contribute to the overall acoustic and thermal performance of the building. By incorporating insulation materials within the joist cavities, they can help reduce noise transmission between floors and improve energy efficiency.
Understanding the different types of joists available in construction is crucial for selecting the most suitable option for a particular project, and the materials you’ll need. Each type has its own unique characteristics and advantages, which we will explore further.

Choosing the Right Upholstery Material
It’s time to get that boat out of hiding and prepare for fun on the water! Most boat owners find their boat in need of cleaning and repairs after being covered all winter. Some boat owners find that good cleaning and repairs aren’t going to be enough. BECK can help with either one of these scenarios. Consider using our FASCO® (a BECK brand) Fine Wire Staplers and BECK staples to be sure your new interior seating will be secure, no matter what you find under that cover.
When it comes to renewing your boat upholstery, one of the first decisions you'll need to make is choosing the right upholstery material. There are several factors to consider when selecting upholstery material, such as resistance to UV rays, water resistance, and ease of cleaning. Some popular options for boat upholstery include marine vinyl, Sunbrella fabric, and leather. Each material has its own benefits and drawbacks, so it's important to do some research and choose the one that best suits your needs and preferences.
You might not think of color aside from looks, but it’s an important consideration. While lighter colors may show stains more easily, they can also help keep your boat seats cooler in the hot sun. On the other hand, darker colors may be more forgiving when it comes to stains, but they can absorb more heat. The choice of color will depend on your personal preference and the overall aesthetic you want to achieve.
In addition to material and color, you should also consider the quality of the upholstery. Investing in high-quality upholstery will ensure that your boat seats last longer and maintain their appearance over time. Look for upholstery that is specifically designed for marine use, as it will be more resistant to the harsh conditions of the sea and sun. It's worth consulting with a professional upholstery specialist who can guide you in choosing the right material and quality for your boat seats.
