Powerful duo: Angle-bracket screw Strong and Tension strap HighLoad

Wood in construction — The right fasteners for greater stability

Due to its natural properties and wide range of applications, wood has been used for centuries as a proven building material, ensuring solid and durable constructions in both traditional and modern building projects. A renewable resource, it is particularly valued for its environmental friendliness, stability, and aesthetics. Despite its versatility, working with wood requires special care as it naturally reacts to external influences such as moisture or temperature changes. Reliable fasteners are required to ensure the stability and load-bearing capacity of structures, especially for load-bearing and high-stress joints.

Eurotec is constantly expanding its product range to meet the ever-increasing demands of the construction industry and to guarantee maximum load-bearing capacity. Especially in multi-storey CLT timber construction, robust connection solutions and fasteners are essential to reliably withstand high loads. Eurotec offers a wide range of products specially designed for demanding timber construction. To meet the requirements of multi-storey CLT timber construction projects, Eurotec offers Angle-bracket screw Strong in combination with the HighLoad tension straps. These two products work together perfectly to create an extra strong and secure connection that provides a reliable load-bearing capacity even under high loads.

Tension strap HighLoad

Eurotec's Tension strap HighLoad brackets are specially designed for tensile loads in timber-to-timber connections and can absorb tensile loads from seismic or wind-induced effects for floor slabs and slab thicknesses up to 240 mm. Their optimized geometry allows them to be used in three different load levels and offers a characteristic tensile strength of up to 200 kN. To achieve these values, installation with the Eurotec WBS Strong is required.

Strong together: Angle-bracket screw Strong meets Tension strap HighLoad

The combination of Angle-bracket screw Strong and Tension strap HighLoad is often used in timber construction to increase the strength and stability of connections between two timber components. The selection of suitable fasteners is particularly important at critical points where high forces could compromise structural integrity.

Angle-bracket screw Strong are used to fix the Tension strap HighLoad. The two fasteners are used together to optimize the stability of a joint. The combination allows the structure to be secured against both lateral and vertical loads in areas subject to high tensile and shear forces. This distributes the stresses evenly and minimizes the risk of possible displacement. This increases the longevity of the structure and ensures lasting safety under changing loads. In addition, the use of specially designed screws contributes to fast and safe installation.
