FAQs

What type of flooring are these nails best suited for?

These nails are ideal for hardwood and engineered wood flooring installations where secure fastening is critical.

Can I use these nails with other brands of flooring nailers?

While they might physically fit, it is recommended to use these nails with Bostitch flooring nailers for guaranteed performance and safety. Compatibility with other brands is not assured.

What does the "galvanised" finish mean for durability?

The galvanised finish provides a layer of zinc protection, making the nails resistant to rust and corrosion, thus extending their lifespan, especially in humid conditions.

How many nails are in a pack?

Each pack contains 1000 Bostitch FLN-150 flooring cleat nails.

What is the "L" shape design for?

The "L" shape is designed to drive cleanly into the wood and provide a superior grip, ensuring the flooring board is held firmly in place and reducing the risk of the nail head popping out over time.

Are these nails suitable for outdoor flooring?

Yes, the galvanised finish offers good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for certain outdoor flooring applications where moisture is present, provided they are used with an appropriate nailer.

Troubleshooting

Nails not driving fully

Check the air pressure setting on your Bostitch flooring nailer and increase if necessary. Ensure the nail head is properly seated in the nailer's magazine.

Nails jamming in the nailer

Ensure you are using the correct Bostitch FLN-150 cleats and that they are loaded correctly. Check the nailer's magazine for any obstructions or debris. Inspect the cleats for any defects.

Nails splitting the flooring

Adjust the depth setting on your nailer to drive the nail slightly shallower. Pre-drilling pilot holes may be necessary for extremely hard woods, although the "L" shape design is intended to minimize this.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Corrosion-resistant due to galvanised finish, suitable for diverse environments.
  • "L" shape design promotes secure fastening and reduces material damage.
  • Generous quantity (1000 nails) for project completion.
  • Designed for use with Bostitch flooring nailers for optimal performance.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for Bostitch flooring nailers, limiting compatibility with other brands.
  • 38mm length may not be suitable for all subfloor or flooring thicknesses.
  • Galvanised finish, while offering corrosion resistance, can wear over time with heavy abrasion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your Bostitch flooring nailer is properly loaded with the FLN-150 cleats according to the nailer's manual.
  2. Verify the nailer is set to the correct depth for your specific flooring material to ensure proper seating without overdriving.

Compatibility:

  • These nails are specifically designed for use with Bostitch flooring nailers. While they may fit other nailers, optimal performance and safety are guaranteed only with compatible Bostitch models.

Care:

  • Store nails in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the galvanised coating.
  • Keep the nails clean and free from debris before loading into the nailer to prevent jams.
