SPAX and TRUFAST fastener solutions will be featured at the International Builders Show (IBS), Feb. 25- 27, in multiple construction demonstrations throughout the show. The demos will be hosted by professional building pros and feature SPAX POWERLAGS wood-to-wood premium structural fasteners along with TRUFAST® wall solutions for building envelopes. Both brands are from ALTENLOH, BRINCK & CO. US, INC., a leading U.S. manufacturer of advanced attachment solutions for residential and commercial building applications.
SPAX POWERLAGS are multi-ply assembly screws that save time by eliminating pre-drilling with their patented thread serration technology. They will be showcased in The Construction Performance Zone (BOOTH SU 1107) and in several demos in the Craft Technique Zone. The Rockwool (Booth C6730) expanded demonstration stage will highlight both SPAX structural fasteners and TRUFAST wall attachments for the exterior building envelope, including the Thermal-Grip TubeSeal (ci) line, which seals fastener penetrations in WRB or air barriers.
