FAQs

What materials can these nails be used with?

These nails are ideal for use with corrugated iron, roofing felt, timber, and various other roofing materials.

What is the benefit of the twisted shank?

The twisted shank provides a stronger grip and resistance to movement, ensuring a secure hold.

Do I need to use washers with these nails?

While not always necessary, using spat washers is recommended, especially for materials where enhanced sealing and security are required.

How do I prevent the nails from rusting?

The galvanised coating provides excellent protection against rust. Store nails in a dry place and ensure they are properly installed.

What is the recommended spacing for the nails?

Refer to the roofing material manufacturer's guidelines for specific nail spacing recommendations.

Can I use these nails on a pitched roof?

Yes, these nails are suitable for both flat and pitched roofs, provided the material is compatible.

What size nails should I use?

The 65mm length is suitable for a variety of roofing applications. Ensure the nail penetrates the supporting structure sufficiently.

Troubleshooting

Nails are bending or breaking during installation.

Ensure you are using the correct hammer size and technique. Consider pre-drilling pilot holes, especially in dense materials.

Nails are not holding securely.

Verify the nail length is appropriate for the material thickness. Check the installation angle and hammer firmly.

Rust or corrosion appears on the nail heads.

Ensure the galvanised coating is intact. Replace any corroded nails immediately to prevent further damage to the roof.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Ensure you have the necessary tools: hammer, safety glasses, and potentially a drill for pilot holes.
  2. Position the roofing material where you want it. Place the nail through the material.
  3. Gently hammer the nail in, ensuring it is flush with the surface. Avoid over-driving.

Compatibility
