Designed for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts, these 40mm plastic headed pins offer a secure, aesthetically pleasing solution for installing soffits and roofline fascias. Their primary benefit is a corrosion-resistant, high-quality finish that prevents the unsightly rust staining often seen with standard nails, though they require careful handling during installation to avoid damaging the specialized plastic head.

These pins are designed specifically for timber substrates. They may not provide adequate holding power in metal.
Yes, their corrosion-resistant properties make them well-suited for outdoor use in high-moisture environments.
While not strictly required, pre-drilling a small pilot hole can prevent the timber from splitting and make installation easier.
While the gold finish is permanent, painting is generally not recommended as it may flake off the plastic surface over time.
They are suitable for standard soffit thicknesses, but ensure you have enough length remaining to achieve at least 25mm of penetration into the timber.
Use a softer-faced hammer or place a small piece of rubber padding over the head while hammering.
Ensure the pilot hole is clear of debris or that the timber substrate is not excessively dense.
Verify the pin was not bent during installation, which can compromise the protective coating.
For the best results, use a plastic-faced or nylon hammer to avoid cracking the head during the final strike. When positioning, ensure the pin is driven at a 90-degree angle to the surface. These pins are compatible with standard timber framing commonly used in roofline construction. To maintain their appearance, clean them periodically with a mild detergent and a soft cloth during standard gutter maintenance. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, which could scratch the plastic coating and expose the metal underneath.
