LIGNOLOC® WOODEN NAILS

Descriptive image of how the  wood nail technology works
The special design of the LignoLoc® nail tip and the large amount of heat generated by friction when the nail is driven in cause the lignin of the wooden nail to weld with the surrounding wood to form a substance-to-substance bond.

LignoLoc®, manufactured by the Beck Fasterner Group, are wooden nails are made from indigenous beech wood and boast a tensile strength similar to aluminum nails. Their mechanical properties allow the nails to be driven into solid structural timber with a pneumatic nailer, without any pre-drilling, to form an inseparable bond with the timber.

While beech is known to rot, due to the impregnation and subsequent compression of the beechwood, wood destroying fungi have no destructive effect on the nails. Other key benefits of using LignoLoc nails include no streaking or bleeding on the wood, no pre-drilling, no wood glue necessary, more environmentally friendly than metal fasteners, and less tool wear when cutting nailed wooden components subsequently.
