When it comes to structural integrity, there are two key components to consider: The actual structural members themselves—like lumber, steel studs, or concrete—and the fasteners that hold it all together. 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.

The metal roofing industry was valued at $23.8 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow to $33.5 billion by the year 2030, partly due to metal roofing's rise in popularity on residential structures. Homeowners choose metal roofing for many reasons: it's durable and long-lasting, it has excellent wind and fire resistance, it's easy to maintain, and it's good for the environment.
If you're a contractor working with metal roofing, it's important to use the right fasteners to ensure your work will last. The SCRAIL® RoofLoc® Metal Roofing System, developed by BECK, can be installed twice as fast as collated screws and includes a leakproof EPDM washer for efficient and effective fastening. Each screw is pneumatically driven with the FASCO® (a BECK member) Roofing Installation Tool using our patented SCRAIL® RoofLoc® fasteners. It makes metal roofing fast to install and built to last. But let’s explore further why metal roofing in general is a wise choice for housing.

When it comes to roofing, there are a variety of options to choose from, and deciding between them can be difficult. Two of the most popular options for contractors are shingles and metal roofing. Each has its own unique advantages and drawbacks, so it's important to understand the differences between them before deciding on which one is right for your project.
Another consideration is if you have the right tools to ensure efficient and proper material installation. For example, the SCRAIL® ROOFLOC® Metal Roofing System developed by BECK is the ultimate installation device when it comes to metal roofing. Since the SCRAIL® ROOFLOC® fasteners are pneumatically driven in, metal roofing can be put in quickly and efficiently.
