Product Information

Full details

The Unifix 80mm black slate hooks are designed for professional roofers and DIY enthusiasts needing a secure and durable solution for slate roofing installations. Their primary benefit is the quick and reliable fixing provided by the hook-point profile and enhanced longevity due to corrosion-resistant coating. A potential consideration is that the 80mm length might not be suitable for all slate thicknesses.

FAQs

What material are the Unifix slate hooks made from?

They are made from stainless steel with a black coat finish.

How long are these slate hooks?

The hooks are 80mm in length.

What is the purpose of the hook-point profile?

The hook-point profile is designed for quick and secure fixing onto the edge of slate tiles.

How many slate hooks are in a box?

Each box contains 500 slate hooks.

Are these suitable for all types of roofing?

No, these are specifically designed for slate roofing applications.

What does the black coat finish do?

The black coat finish provides an aesthetic black appearance and adds an extra layer of corrosion resistance for outdoor durability.

Troubleshooting

Hook does not engage securely with the slate.

Ensure the slate is correctly positioned and the hook-point is aligned with the slate's edge. Check if the slate thickness is compatible with the 80mm hook length.

Fastener is difficult to drive into the batten.

Verify the batten material is suitable for point-driven fasteners. Ensure the fastening tool is functioning correctly and has adequate power.

Hook appears to be rusting despite coating.

While coated for protection, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme abrasion could potentially damage the coating. Inspect for physical damage to the coating. If minor, it should not affect structural integrity significantly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable and secure fixing for slate roofing.
  • Durable stainless steel construction resists bending.
  • Corrosion-resistant coating ensures long-term outdoor performance.
  • Quick installation due to the hook-point profile.
  • Supplied in a cost-effective bulk pack.

Cons

  • 80mm length may not be suitable for exceptionally thick slate tiles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Position the Slate: Place the slate tile into its final position on the roof.
  2. Align the Hook: Position the Unifix slate hook so its hook-point engages with the edge of the slate.
  3. Fasten Securely: Using an appropriate point-driven fastening tool or method, drive the hook and fastener into the roof batten or structure, ensuring the slate is held firmly.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for use with standard thickness slate roofing tiles.
  • Compatible with timber battens and other suitable roof structures for point-driven fastening.
  • Ensure your fastening tool is compatible with 80mm point-driven fasteners.

Care:

  • These hooks are designed for external, exposed conditions and require minimal care.
  • The stainless steel and corrosion-resistant coating provide excellent protection against the elements.
  • Regular roof inspections should be performed, but no specific maintenance is required for the hooks themselves.
