The TIMco Clout Nails in Copper finish are designed for roofing applications, particularly for attaching felt, slate, and shingles. Their large diameter head provides a secure fix, while the copper material offers excellent rust protection, making them ideal for urban and industrial environments with low salt exposure. A key benefit is their durability and resistance to corrosion. However, it's important to note that while copper offers good protection, it may still be susceptible to certain environmental conditions over extended periods.

These nails are primarily designed for fixing roofing materials such as roofing felt, slate, and shingles, offering excellent rust protection.
A 2.5kg pack contains approximately 380 pieces, based on the 3.35mm shank diameter and 30mm length.
While copper offers good rust protection, these nails are specifically recommended for urban and industrial areas with a low salt atmosphere. For extreme coastal environments, further specialized solutions might be necessary.
These nails are optimized for roofing applications due to their large head size and material properties. For general carpentry, other nail types might be more suitable.
Copper naturally forms a protective patina layer when exposed to the atmosphere, which inhibits further corrosion and provides long-term resistance to rust.
The nails have a shank diameter of 3.35mm and a length of 30mm.
No, standard hammers are suitable. Pre-drilling may be beneficial for very hard materials.
Ensure you are hammering squarely onto the nail head. Check if the material being fastened is too hard, requiring a pilot hole. Verify you are using the correct hammer weight.
Ensure you are using the correct nail for the job; the large head is designed to prevent this. Hammer the nail flush but avoid over-hammering, which can crush the felt.
Confirm the environmental conditions are suitable for copper (low salt atmosphere). Ensure nails have been stored correctly in a dry environment. If used with specific timber treatments, consult TIMco for compatibility advice.
Pre-drill a pilot hole that is slightly smaller than the nail's shank diameter. Use a heavier hammer if appropriate and ensure a solid backing for the material.
Setup: These nails are designed for manual hammering. Ensure you use a hammer suitable for the nail size and strike the head squarely for efficient driving. For very hard materials or to prevent splitting, pre-drilling a pilot hole slightly smaller than the shank diameter is recommended.
Compatibility: Compatible with common roofing materials such as roofing felt, slate, and shingles. They are designed to work with standard roofing construction techniques. Avoid use with acidic wood treatments, as this can affect the copper over time.
Care: Store nails in a dry place to prevent premature tarnishing or corrosion. While copper offers excellent resistance, prolonged exposure to moisture in storage can still impact their appearance. Regularly inspect roofing for any signs of nail head degradation, though this is rare with copper in appropriate environments.
