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.

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.

As environmentally friendly building methods continue to rise in popularity, so too does timber construction—and that’s because there are few building materials out there that are better for the environment.
With that, timber lends itself well to tools and building practices that are also environmentally friendly. Consider the patented LignoLoc® Wooden Nail System from BECK, for example. These are environmentally friendly, pneumatically driven, wooden fasteners designed to be used in timber construction. Using them, you can create 100% wooden cross-laminated timber panels that are not only green and sustainable, but also thermally sound enough to reduce energy usage in the finished building.
That’s the true beauty of wood. There are multiple ways in which it helps the environment—and we’re going to examine some of these benefits here.

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.

Today, sustainability is a major focus area in construction, with everyone from builders to manufacturers innovating new, better, more sustainable ways to build. Cross-laminated timber panels are emerging as one of the top new innovations—and there are many reasons why.
We’ll cover those reasons here, and we’re also going to show you some of our own innovations. That includes the patented LIGNOLOC® system, which is the first collated wooden nail system made from renewable compressed beech wood. Adding onto the LIGNOLOC® system, we’ve also developed our own LIGNOLOC® cross-laminated timber panels (LCLT), which represent a sustainable, metal and glue-free option for the architects and builders who are pioneering sustainable construction.

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.
