Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material is the Unifix Slate Hook Point made from?

The hook points are constructed from high-quality stainless steel with a black corrosion-resistant coating.

What is the length of this slate hook point?

The length of this specific slate hook point is 100mm.

How many hook points are in a box?

Each box contains 500 Unifix Slate Hook Points.

Can I use these hook points on other types of roof tiles?

These hook points are specifically designed for slate roofing tiles. Compatibility with other materials may vary and is not guaranteed.

Does the black coating offer any additional protection?

Yes, the black coating is corrosion-resistant, enhancing the durability of the stainless steel and providing a low-visibility finish.

How do I ensure a secure fixing?

Proper installation involves driving the hook point firmly into the supporting structure (e.g., batten) and ensuring it engages securely with the slate tile.

Troubleshooting

Hook point does not drive easily into the batten.

Ensure the batten is not too dense or obstructed. Check that the hook point is aligned correctly and that appropriate driving force is applied. Pre-drilling a pilot hole may be necessary for very hard timbers.

Slate tile feels loose after installation.

Verify that the hook point is fully driven into the substrate and securely engaged with the slate. Ensure the correct size and type of slate hook point is used for the thickness of the slate.

Corrosion observed on the hook point.

While stainless steel is highly resistant, extreme environmental conditions or contact with dissimilar metals could cause minor surface staining. Ensure the black coating remains intact; if significant corrosion occurs, replace the hook point.
