LIGNOLOC® wooden nails are the world’s first shootable wooden nails, enabling fast
and efficient installation. They are pneumatically driven into wood using hand tools or
fully automated nailing heads mounted on multifunctional bridges. No pre-drilling or
adhesive is required, which significantly accelerates the construction process. Unlike
metal nails, LIGNOLOC® wooden nails cause virtually no tool wear, extending the
service life of saws and other cutting tools.
In solid timber construction, the technical performance of these wooden nails makes a crucial difference – especially their high tensile and shear strengths, which are key to the stability of solid wood structures. A unique feature of LIGNOLOC® is its lignin adhesion: during the driving process, the heat generated by friction creates a natural bond between the nail and the wood. The resulting connection is so strong that removing the nails is virtually impossible. With LIGNOLOC®, a pure wood-to-wood connection is created, allowing the fastened component to be easily recycled.
