FAQs

What is the primary use for these nails?

These nails are primarily designed for roofing, fencing, and general construction projects where a strong, durable, and rust-resistant fastener is required.

Are these nails suitable for interior use?

Yes, they are suitable for interior use. However, their robust nature and galvanized finish are particularly beneficial for exterior applications.

How should I store the 2.5kg tub of nails?

Store the tub in a cool, dry place away from moisture to maintain the integrity of the galvanized coating and prevent rust.

What tools are needed to use these nails?

A standard hammer is required to drive these nails. Safety glasses are recommended during use.

Can these nails be painted?

Yes, the galvanized surface can be painted after proper preparation, such as cleaning and priming, to ensure paint adhesion.

What does 'Galv' stand for?

'Galv' is short for galvanized, indicating that the nails are coated with a layer of zinc to protect against rust and corrosion.

Are there other sizes available?

Unifix offers a range of clout nails in different sizes and quantities. Please check product listings for specific dimensions and packaging.

Troubleshooting

Nail bends during hammering.

Ensure you are hammering the nail straight and perpendicular to the surface. Use a consistent, firm strike. For harder woods, a pilot hole may be beneficial.

Rust spots appearing on nails.

This can occur if the galvanized coating is compromised. Store nails in a dry place. For already rusted nails used outdoors, consider applying a rust-resistant coating to the fastened area.

Difficulty driving nails into dense wood.

Pre-drilling a pilot hole slightly smaller than the nail diameter can make driving easier and prevent bending. Ensure you are using an appropriate weight hammer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and strong due to galvanized steel construction.
  • Excellent rust resistance for outdoor applications.
  • Convenient 2.5kg tub for easy storage and handling.
  • Versatile for various construction and roofing projects.
  • Simple to use with common tools.

Cons

  • 100mm length may be too long for smaller or lighter duty applications.
  • Galvanized coating can be scratched, potentially reducing long-term rust resistance if mishandled.
  • Requires appropriate hammering technique to avoid bending the nail.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring a decorative finish without further treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These nails require no setup beyond opening the 2.5kg tub. Ensure you have a suitable hammer for driving nails. Always wear safety glasses when hammering.

Compatibility: Unifix Galv Clout Nails are compatible with most standard hammers and are suitable for use with various types of wood and roofing materials. They are designed for hammer-driven applications.

Care: Store the nails in their original tub in a dry environment to prevent premature rusting. Avoid storing them in damp conditions. If the galvanized coating is damaged during use, consider applying a rust-inhibiting sealant if long-term exposure to harsh elements is expected.
