Peace of Mind - Built In

It’s part of an Engineers DNA to plan for the unexpected. We’ve already spent over six decades doing just that. So you can be confident that by specifying our connectors and fastenings, you have reliability and trust built-in to everything they touch. We are with you every step of the way; from planning and tendering to site-build, we have people on the ground to support the process and to give further guidance if ever the unexpected occurs.

Complex Challenges - Simple Solutions

Tried and tested connectors and fastenings.

Although mass timber construction methods are still relatively new to many engineers, the connectors and fastenings they need as part of the assembly have many similarities to those used in more familiar construction settings. Whether connecting CLT floors, walls or ceilings to each other (or to concrete foundations); we have tried, tested and simple to use solutions to what might usually be considered an unfamiliar or complex practice.

We maintain an off-the-shelf range of components dedicated to what mass timber structures need (not what they do not), making ours the most relevant and appropriate set of connection solutions available. Should you be presented with a particularly unique design challenge, we have made-to-order facilities across Europe to support you in the design and manufacture of a connector that is entirely bespoke.

Everything We Know - You’ll Know

The best advice in town is never out of reach:

If you are new to mass timber construction, our digital tools including: design software, design guidance, CAD models and product selection support are freely available on-line. Coupled with this, we offer local support from our engineering teams across Europe, putting you in touch with the very people who design Simpson Strong-Tie products.

Fast, accurate and safe product specification

Solid Wood is our latest web-based calculation tool that helps consulting engineers, building designers etc. with finding and documenting the right fastening solution.

The program is easy to use, and makes it easier to understand and specify the right solutions, based on e.g. the density of the substrate, the characteristics of the material, the category of corrosion and the load. In 4 simple steps, Solid Wood finds a concrete fastening solution that is suitable for the specific project. The specifications can be printed out and used as documentation.

• Documentation according to Eurocode 5 (EN 1995-1-1)
• Faster and easier than hand counting
• Wood-wood / steel-wood / plate-wood joints
• The program creates a PDF report which can be used to document the project.
