The WALCO® Z40 set consists of two identical brackets made out of blue-galvanized steel. Commonly used gaskets can be installed on the prefabricated wall panels. When sliding the wall panels together, the brackets hook into each other in a dovetail-like manner and tighten up the connection. This allows the wall panels to be pre-manufactured to a large degree in a superior and advanced quality and then connected on site with no screwing or nailing needed.

System advantages:

  • Efficient wall connectors for timber frame and wood panel construction.
  • For timber widths from 60 mm and upwards.
  • Large degree of prefabrication – no screwing or nailing on-site.
  • Simple and easy – the wall panels are snapped together.
  • Stable from the first wall corner on
  • For timber structures according to DIN 1052 and Eurocode 5 (EN 1995-1-1).
  • ETA certified (even for hardwood).
