Product Information

Full details

The Unifix Galvanised Clout Nails are an essential fastening solution for professionals and DIY enthusiasts working on roofing, fencing, and general exterior construction projects. These 30 x 2.65mm nails provide a reliable and durable hold thanks to their high-quality galvanised finish, which resists corrosion in outdoor environments. While these nails are ideal for securing thin materials to timber frames, users should note that they are specifically designed for general clout applications and may not be suitable for heavy-duty structural load-bearing requirements.

FAQs

Can these nails be used for indoor projects?

Yes, but they are specifically engineered for outdoor durability, so they are more than capable for indoor use as well.

Are these suitable for coastal environments?

They offer standard galvanised protection, but in very high-salt coastal areas, stainless steel fasteners are generally recommended for superior longevity.

What is the total weight of the box?

Each box contains two 5Kg tubs, totaling 10Kg of nails.

Do I need special tools to drive these nails?

No, a standard carpenter's hammer is sufficient for these nails.

What does '30 x 2.65mm' mean?

This refers to the length of the nail (30mm) and the diameter of the shank (2.65mm).

Troubleshooting

Nail bends while driving into hard timber

Ensure you are hitting the nail squarely on the head. For very hard wood, consider pre-drilling a pilot hole.

Nail head tearing through the material

Ensure the nail is driven flush and not over-driven, or consider using a washer if the material is particularly brittle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent corrosion resistance due to galvanised finish
  • Wide head design is perfect for felt and thin sheets
  • Bulk 10kg pack size is economical for large jobs
  • Standardized sizing ensures compatibility with common timber materials

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy structural framing
  • Galvanised finish may eventually degrade in extremely harsh coastal environments
  • Large bulk weight can be cumbersome to transport around a job site

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These nails are designed for manual installation using a standard hammer. When selecting the correct nail, ensure the timber thickness is at least double the nail length to avoid the tip protruding through the backside. For storage, keep the 5Kg tubs in a dry, covered area. Even though they are galvanised, excessive moisture in storage can lead to premature oxidation or 'white rust' on the surface of the nails. Ensure the tubs are sealed tightly when not in use to prevent accidental spills and moisture ingress.
