Product Information

Full details

The Freefoam 40mm Plastic Headed Pins (P40W) are designed for trade professionals and DIY enthusiasts working on exterior roofline projects such as securing fascia and soffits. These pins offer the key benefit of long-term durability and weather resistance due to their marine-grade stainless steel construction, though users should note that they are specifically sized for standard 40mm fastening applications and may not be suitable for heavy-duty structural load-bearing requirements.

FAQs

Can these pins be used in saltwater environments?

Yes, they are manufactured from A4 marine-grade stainless steel, which is specifically designed for high-corrosion environments.

Are these pins suitable for thick fascia boards?

These are 40mm in length; ensure your fascia and timber framing thickness allows for sufficient penetration into the structural wood.

What is the primary benefit of a ring-shank?

The rings on the shank act like barbs, making the pin much harder to pull out once installed compared to a smooth-shank nail.

Do I need to paint the heads after installation?

No, the pins are supplied with a permanent white woodgrain finish meant to match your existing roofline.

Can these pins be used for general wood-to-wood joinery?

While they can be used, they are specifically engineered for fixing roofline plastics; the plastic head may not be appropriate for aesthetic wood-to-wood furniture applications.

Troubleshooting

Pin head is cracking during installation

Use a nylon or rubber-faced hammer instead of a hardened steel head to distribute impact force evenly.

Pin is difficult to drive into the timber

Ensure the timber substrate is not excessively hardened and consider using a slightly smaller pilot hole if resistance is too high.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High resistance to rust and corrosion due to A4 grade material
  • Color-matched to white woodgrain systems
  • Superior hold strength thanks to the ring-shank design
  • Durable plastic head prevents scratching or finish damage during install

Cons

  • Limited to 40mm length, not suitable for thicker material builds
  • Requires precise placement to avoid damaging the plastic head during final hammer strikes
  • Cannot be easily removed once the ring-shank has seated into the timber

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best finish, pre-drill your timber substrate if working with particularly dense hardwoods to prevent splitting. Ensure the pin is driven in at a 90-degree angle to the surface to maximize the clamping force of the plastic head. These pins are compatible with most standard Freefoam fascia and soffit systems. For maintenance, simply wipe the plastic heads with a soft cloth and mild soapy water if dirt accumulates; avoid using abrasive chemicals or solvent-based cleaners that may dull the woodgrain finish over time.
