The Evolution of Fastening Methods: From Basic to Advanced
The journey of fastening methods dates back to ancient times when rudimentary tools like wooden pegs and stone nails were used to hold structures together. As civilizations progressed, metal fasteners such as iron nails and bronze rivets began to emerge, providing greater strength and durability.
The Industrial Revolution marked a significant turning point with the invention of machines that could mass-produce screws and bolts. This era introduced standardized fasteners, which improved efficiency in manufacturing and construction. Over time, the development of advanced materials and precision engineering has led to the creation of high-performance fasteners capable of withstanding extreme conditions, such as the SCRAIL® nail screw fasteners by BECK.

Exploring Durability and Longevity of Metal and Slate Roofs
When it comes to durability, both metal and slate roofs stand out as robust choices. Metal roofs are known for their resistance to harsh weather conditions, including high winds, hail, and heavy snowfall. They are also highly resistant to fire, making them a safe choice for many homeowners. On average, a metal roof can last between 40 to 70 years, depending on the specific material used and the quality of installation.
Slate roofs, on the other hand, are often heralded as the gold standard in roofing materials due to their incredible longevity. A well-maintained slate roof can last over a century, with some historical buildings bearing original slate roofs that are still intact. Slate is also highly resistant to fire and weather damage, making it a reliable option. However, natural stone material can be more susceptible to cracking under certain conditions, such as heavy impact.
To enhance your roofs durability and longevity, we suggest fastening your roofing with BECK’s SCRAIL® ROOFLOC® System or the FASCO® (a BECK brand) Slate Hook System.

Wooden nails have a rich history dating back to ancient times. They were first used as a primitive innovation by early humans to join pieces of wood together. These early nails were simply sharpened sticks or wooden pegs that were hammered into place. The simplicity and effectiveness of wooden nails made them a popular choice for construction and woodworking projects.
Throughout history, wooden nails have been used in various cultures and civilizations. They were a common feature in ancient Egyptian and Roman construction, as well as in traditional Japanese carpentry. The use of wooden nails continued well into the Middle Ages, where they were widely employed in the construction of timber-framed buildings. This early form of joinery laid the foundation for the development of modern woodworking techniques and fastening options such as BECK’s LIGNOLOC® wooden nails.

Pinners and bradders play a crucial role in the realm of cabinet making, offering a reliable way to fasten and join cabinet parts seamlessly. A pinner is a compact pneumatic tool that drives headless pins into materials, while a bradder is a similar tool that drives brads, small nails with a slight head. These tools are specifically designed to create robust and secure connections without leaving any visible marks on the cabinet surface.
These tools are known for their lightweight and compact nature, making them easy to handle in confined spaces. They are commonly used for attaching back panels, securing trims, and assembling cabinet frames. FASCO® (a BECK brand) pinners and bradders are indispensable for any cabinet maker striving for precise and professional results in their projects.

Benefits of Metal Roofing
With summer storms fast approaching, you’ll want to be sure your roof can withstand the demands of unpredictable summer weather. Metal roofing offers several benefits that make it an excellent choice for protecting your home during summer storms. One of the main advantages of metal roofing is its durability. Metal roofs are highly resistant to strong winds, heavy rain, and hail, making them a reliable option in storm-prone areas. Using BECK’s SCRAIL® ROOFLOC® System for metal roofing and siding, you can be sure that your roof is securely attached!
Another benefit of metal roofing is its fire resistance. Unlike traditional roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles, metal roofs are non-combustible and can help prevent the spread of fire. This can be especially important during summer storms when lightning strikes are more common.
Metal roofing is also known for its longevity. Metal roofs can last for 50+ years with proper maintenance, which means you won't have to worry about frequent roof replacements after summer storms. This can save you both time and money in the long run.
Another great reason to opt for metal roofing is that it’s eco-friendly. Most metal roofs are made from recycled materials, and they can be recycled again at the end of their lifespan. This helps reduce the environmental impact of roofing materials and promotes sustainability.
