Terrace surfacing comparison: WPC, stone, or wood—learn about the advantages and disadvantages of each material and find the ideal surfacing for your terrace!

If you are planning to build a new deck or renovate an existing one, there are a few things to consider when it comes to deck planning.

Terrace planning depends on the surroundings and the usage class—according to DIN EN 1991-1, there are three categories: ground level, roof terrace, public. Read more about this in the technical article!

Hydrogen embrittlement is a phenomenon that can cause significant damage to high-strength fasteners. When metals—particularly high-strength steels and alloys—are exposed to hydrogen atoms, they can lose their ductility and become brittle.

In solid timber construction, Eurotec's ETA-certified CLT system bracket offers defined characteristic load support in all directions of force application.

The Classic injection mortar is a styrene-free vinyl ester resin (epoxy resin) approved by the European Technical Approval Authority (ETA) for all of the above substrates, including class C2 seismic applications.

A wooden deck always requires a robust, durable, and solid substructure when it is built. The service life also plays an important role, because by choosing the right material and suitable fasteners, the most fundamental step has already been accomplished.

Thanks to the special rBS DAG tip of KonstruX fully threaded screws from Eurotec, the same installation benefit can be achieved without pre-drilling, which saves a significant amount of time.

Screws with a length of 300 mm and above are being increasingly used in the solid wood industry, which often uses large-format 5-, 7- and 9-ply CLT panels and heavy glulam beams as well as glulam supports. Impact screwdrivers have turned out to be practical tools for installing screws.

Today, TCC ceiling systems are becoming increasingly popular as they allow larger spans with lower vibrations compared to wooden ceilings. In addition, the non-combustible concrete barrier between multi-storey buildings increases fire resistance.

Solid timber construction and timber construction in general are seeing increasing levels of prefabrication. Thanks to the 4D BIM Model and sophisticated CNC processing, manufacturing and installation processes are significantly accelerated due to the level of precision achieved.

Heat can quickly be lost during the cold winter time, which is why a well-insulated roof system is of fundamental importance to preserve the heat inside buildings and reduce energy consumption.

The force-fitting IdeeFix wood connectors from our product range are used for such purposes. It is the ideal connector for various applications in timber construction.

Secure and solid fasteners should always be used – even because a disaster can happen at any time. It is hard to predict when and particularly where a powerful earthquake can occur.

Adequately long and powerful connections are required to achieve true load transfer between these slabs (e.g. for floor-to-floor and wall-to-wall connections).

Timber-Concrete Composite Construction (TCC) is gaining importance as a standalone technique, efficiently combining timber and concrete to fully utilize the strengths of both materials.

As part of the product development, tensile tests were carried out on the PediX Duo post feet from Eurotec to determine the load. Find out the result.

Find out which products were used to provide the best possible force transmission in this report.

Wood construction is flourishing, and not only in Germany – the wood initiative is also being significantly stepped up in the People’s Republic of China.
