The façade of a building is more than just its outer skin; it’s the face it presents to the world. It's the first impression, the architectural statement, and a crucial element in protecting the structure within. For buildings with wood facades, this is especially true. Wood, with its natural beauty and warmth, offers a unique aesthetic appeal. However, its inherent vulnerability to the elements demands diligent maintenance and, when necessary, skilled restoration. Below we’ll learn the importance of façade maintenance and restoration, particularly focusing on the unique challenges and solutions associated with wood facades as well as how BECK’s LIGNOLOC® Wooden Nail Systems can enhance wood facades.

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.

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.

Joinery is an important skill to master when working with reclaimed wood. Since reclaimed wood often has unique shapes and sizes, it's important to know how to properly join pieces together to create a strong and stable structure. Common joinery techniques include mortise and tenon joints, dovetail joints, and tongue and groove joints. By mastering these techniques, you can ensure that your projects are not only visually appealing but also durable and long-lasting. Consider using LignoLoc® Wooden Nails for joining your wood materials – the lignin welding of the two materials creates an impenetrable bond and it’s as easy as shooting in a nail!
