Inspiration
At Simpson Strong-Tie® we’re passionate about helping to build safer stronger structures. This comes in many forms, from engineering driven innovation and solutions, to time saving install methods, to problem solving through specifier and builder partnerships. The intent is to help the market provide buildings that are always soundly designed and constructed, and the result is often beautiful pieces of residential and commercial structure.
In this section we bring some of that work to life through images, video and case studies in the hope that we inspire you too.
