New Booth & Products Get Big Response
|
|
Fasco America Inc. displayed many BECK
Fastener Group made fastening items in a newly designed booth at this year’s
recently concluded JLC Live Northwest show in Portland Oregon. More than 100
contractors visited the Fasco America Inc. booth hungry for product knowledge
and excited to try the 6-1/4” maximum length “Jumbo Nailer” line up for timber frame,
boat dock and pole barn applications to name a few. The Invisdeck® line of
hidden deck fasteners including I-CLP
for grooved composite and exotic exterior deck boards and B-CLP for non
grooved boards was of equally high interest to contractors. The headliner of
the show was the Beck Fastener Group signature SCRAIL® lineup featuring the
SubLoc® SCRAIL® for squeak-less subfloor fastening and FasCoat® SCRAIL® for
exterior deck applications.
