The Evolution of Wood Framing: A Brief History
Wood framing has been a cornerstone of construction for centuries, evolving significantly from its earliest days. Initially, timber framing was the norm, where large wooden beams were intricately joined together. This method required a high level of craftsmanship and was both time-consuming and labor-intensive.
As technology advanced, balloon framing emerged in the 19th century, simplifying the process by using lighter, more uniform pieces of lumber. This method allowed for quicker construction times and reduced costs. Today, platform framing is the most prevalent method, providing a robust and efficient way to erect structures with wood.

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.
