FAQs
What type of nail is included in the pack?
The pack includes 65mm galvanised ring shank nails, designed for a strong grip in timber.
Are the caps suitable for all Coroline Bitumen Sheet colours?
The caps in this specific pack are color-coded green to match green Coroline Bitumen Sheets. Other colours may have different fixing kits available.
Can these fixings be used on metal roofing sheets?
No, these fixings are specifically designed for Coroline Bitumen Sheets installed on timber substrates.
How many fixings are typically needed per sheet?
The exact number depends on the sheet size and manufacturer's recommendations, but typically involves fixings along the edges and at the overlap points.
What is the purpose of the washer?
The washer helps to distribute the pressure of the nail head over a larger area of the bitumen sheet, preventing it from tearing or puncturing.
Are the caps truly waterproof?
Yes, the caps are designed to be waterproof and are installed to create a seal around the nail head, protecting the fixing point from moisture ingress.
What is the length of the nails?
The nails are 65mm in length.
What is the material of the nails?
The nails are galvanised, providing resistance to corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Nail does not penetrate timber sufficiently.
Ensure the timber is not excessively hard or dense. Check for obstructions. If necessary, pre-drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the nail diameter.
Waterproof cap is not sealing properly.
Ensure the cap and washer are correctly positioned before nailing. Verify the nail is driven straight and flush. Avoid over-driving the nail, which can split the cap.
Corrosion on nails or caps after installation.
While galvanised nails offer good protection, extreme environmental conditions can lead to surface rust. Ensure the fixings were from a reputable source and stored correctly before use. Correct installation is key to protecting the nail head.
Sheet appears loose after fixing.
Check if the correct number of fixings has been used and if they are spaced appropriately according to the sheet manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure nails are fully driven into the timber.
