FAQs

What makes these nails rust-resistant?

They are constructed from high-quality aluminium, which naturally forms a protective oxide layer that resists corrosion, making them suitable for various weather conditions.

Are these nails suitable for coastal environments?

These nails are recommended for environments with low salt atmospheres. For direct coastal exposure with high salt content, consider specialized marine-grade fixings.

What is the Corrosion Rating of these nails?

The TIMco Aluminium Clout Nails have a Corrosion Rating of 3.

How many nails are in a 1kg tub?

A 1kg tub contains approximately 800 nails.

What materials can these nails be used for?

They are ideal for attaching roofing felt, slate, shingles, and other similar roofing membranes to timber structures.

Can I use these nails with a standard nail gun?

Yes, provided your nail gun is set up to handle 50mm x 3.35mm nails. Always check your tool's specifications.

What are the exact dimensions of these nails?

The dimensions are 50mm in length and 3.35mm in shank diameter.

Troubleshooting

Nail not fully penetrating material

Ensure the correct nailing pressure or hammer force is applied. Check for obstructions in the material being fastened.

Nail bending during installation

Verify that the nail is driven straight into the material. Ensure the material is adequately supported and not too dense for the nail size.

Head of the nail not sitting flush

Adjust the depth setting on your nail gun, or modify hammer strike for hand-nailing to ensure the head countersinks slightly without tearing the material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent rust and corrosion resistance due to aluminium construction.
  • Large head diameter ensures secure fastening and prevents pull-through.
  • Suitable for a variety of roofing materials including felt, slate, and shingles.
  • Generous quantity in each tub for extended use.
  • Contributes to the overall longevity of roofing projects.

Cons

  • Primarily recommended for environments with low salt atmospheres.
  • May not be suitable for extremely harsh coastal or high-salt environments.
  • Requires appropriate nailing tools for effective installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These nails are designed for use with standard roofing nail guns or can be hand-nailed. Ensure your nailing tool is compatible with the nail size (50mm length, 3.35mm shank diameter). For manual application, a hammer can be used.

Compatibility: Ideal for fastening roofing felt, underlayment, slate, shingles, and other roofing membranes to timber battens and structures. They are best suited for use in environments with low salt concentrations.

Care: Store nails in a dry environment to maintain their corrosion-resistant properties. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or highly corrosive substances. Inspect any unused nails for damage or corrosion before application, though their aluminium composition significantly minimizes this risk.
