Fasteners are a small, yet important, part of any construction project, and deciding which type to use is a big decision. Steel and stainless-steel fasteners both have their own pluses and minuses. To help you choose, let’s compare these two types of fasteners, as well as BECK’s SCRAIL® nail screw fasteners, so you can make an informed decision when it comes time to purchase them for your next construction job.

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.
But which roofing option is best for your client? Let’s compare the two options!

For any construction business, commercial building renovation is a vital part of keeping your portfolio in top condition. It’s a massive market—in fact, the market size in the U.S. alone is a $46.2 billion dollar industry, and is expected to grow another 2.2% in 2023.
With such a booming industry, it’s important to have all the right tools—like ET&F® (a BECK member) fastening systems. These tools make for efficient commercial work, particularly when working with light gauge steel parts of the project. It’s also important to have the knowledge for tackling this kind of construction work. From understanding why renovations are important to knowing what needs to be done to prepare for them, here are some key insights into how you can make the most of your commercial building renovation jobs.

Here in the United States, cross-laminated timber (CLT) is in its infancy as an industry. However, if projections hold true, and demand for sustainable building practices continues, it’s an industry that is liable to grow rapidly. In fact, it’s something we’ve seen with the rising demand for the LIGNOLOC® Wooden Nail System from BECK, which is a system of sustainable wood fasteners that is used in cross-laminated timber projects and mass timber construction, as well as many additional uses.
So where is the CLT industry headed? Let’s take a look—and we’ll also show you more about LIGNOLOC® and the automation advantages you can achieve with it.
