Product Information

Full details

TIMCO Galvanised Clout Nails are an essential fastener for roofing contractors and DIY enthusiasts who need secure attachment for thin sheet materials. Featuring a large, flat head, these nails provide excellent holding power for roofing felt, plasterboard, and shingles, though they are primarily intended for soft materials and should not be used for heavy-duty structural framing.

FAQs

Can these be used for outdoor roofing projects?

Yes, the hot-dip galvanised finish provides the necessary corrosion resistance for external roofing applications.

Are these nails compatible with pneumatic nailers?

These are loose nails designed primarily for manual hammer installation.

Will these work for attaching plasterboard?

Yes, their large flat heads are well-suited for holding plasterboard sheets in place.

What is the material composition of the nails?

They are constructed from high-strength carbon steel with a hot-dip galvanised coating.

Is the 1kg pack enough for a standard shed roof?

1kg contains a significant quantity of nails, which is typically sufficient for most residential shed roofing and general joinery projects.

Troubleshooting

Nails bending during installation

Ensure the nail is struck squarely on the head and check if the timber substrate is too dense for manual hammering.

Surface rust appearing on nail heads

Ensure the nails are not being used in constant contact with highly acidic materials or harsh marine environments that exceed the galvanisation rating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior holding power on soft sheet materials
  • Enhanced corrosion resistance from galvanisation
  • Sturdy carbon steel construction
  • Large head profile prevents material tearing

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy-duty structural load-bearing
  • Requires manual hammering which can be labor intensive
  • Hot-dip finish may leave slight surface texture inconsistencies

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal results, always select a nail length that is sufficient to penetrate the substrate thickness without protruding excessively on the reverse side. When working with materials prone to splitting, consider pre-drilling or tapping lightly to start. Always wear appropriate eye protection when hammering. Store the nails in a dry, cool place to preserve the galvanised finish, as prolonged exposure to standing water in the bag can eventually degrade the protective coating.
