The Concrete Advantage: Benefits of Commercial Builds

Posted by Brett McCutcheon on Feb 10, 2024 8:15:00 AM

Enhanced Durability and Longevity

Concrete is known for its exceptional durability and longevity, making it an ideal choice for commercial builds. Unlike other construction materials, concrete can withstand heavy loads and extreme weather conditions without deteriorating. This means that your commercial building will remain structurally sound for many years, reducing the need for frequent repairs and maintenance. Additionally, the longevity of concrete can contribute to the overall value of your property, as it provides a solid foundation for long-term investment.

In addition to its durability, concrete also offers enhanced resistance to wear and tear. It can withstand high traffic areas, heavy machinery, and constant use, making it a reliable choice for commercial spaces such as warehouses, factories, and retail stores. With concrete, you can have peace of mind knowing that your building will stand the test of time and continue to serve your business needs effectively. Using the ET&F® (a BECK brand) Aerico® 90 System for your commercial build will secure your peace of mind!

Pro Tips for Fastening to Steel and Concrete

Some jobs are harder than others, and as a builder, you probably have a few jobs on your list of least favorite things to do. For many builders, those least favorite jobs include driving fasteners into steel and concrete. When you’re working with wood, drywall, or other, softer materials, you can leverage nail guns to make it quick and easy to drive fasteners. Where steel and concrete are concerned, however, it often requires a lot of time and hard work.

Below, we’ll explore the difficulties you’ll face when using traditional fasteners with these materials. We’re also going to show you a better way to fasten to steel and concrete: The ET&F® (a BECK member) Model 710 fastening system, which is designed for steel and concrete—and offers the same ease of use that you’d get from a nail gun.

Fasteners are crucial because the wrong fastener can create a weaker structure or one that fails long before it should.

That’s why we’re going to explore how to make the correct fastener choices for different applications. Along the way, we’ll show you many of the fasteners that BECK offers for these purposes.
