A partnership built on quality and trust.

Russwood, a timber specialist based in the Scottish Highlands, has worked closely with SIHGA since 2014. Known for their premium cladding, decking and flooring, Russwood shares our commitment to quality, sustainability and innovation.

By bringing SIHGA’s Austrian-engineered systems to the UK market through Russwood, we’re making it easier than ever for architects, structural engineers, builders and installers to access high-performance fixing solutions backed by expert advice and support.

“As a long-term timber enthusiast, I’m delighted that Russwood and SIHGA have joined forces to bring innovative fixing systems to the UK. As more timber – and particularly mass timber – is used in building construction, SIHGA’s advanced secret-fix solutions enable easier and more aesthetically appealing design and engineering solutions.”
