HECO®-WB – Simple solution for lateral tensile reinforcements The fastening system for economical and secure reinforcements for glulam timber structures

Diverse applications can be implemented with the HECO®-WB system, such as: Transverse joints, penetrations, notching, connections, double-pitch roof purlins with arched, arched purlin, double-pitch roof purlin usw. The forces are transmitted solely through the thread indentations – time-consuming application of adhesives is eliminated. The fully countersunk, invisible threaded bars mean that subsequent roof assembly is not obstructed.
