Product Information
Full details
The Unifix Aluminium Clout Nails are an essential choice for professional builders and DIY enthusiasts focused on exterior applications such as roofing and cladding. These nails offer a key advantage through their non-ferrous construction, which provides superior resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring structural integrity over time; however, users should note that because they are made of aluminium, they are generally softer than steel alternatives and require careful handling to avoid bending during installation.

FAQs
Are these nails suitable for marine environments?
Yes, their non-ferrous, rust-resistant aluminium composition makes them well-suited for exterior environments, including areas with high moisture.
Can these be used with a pneumatic nailer?
These nails are designed primarily for hand-hammering, though they may work in specific nail guns designed for the 70mm clout nail format.
Will these nails rust if they get wet?
No, aluminium does not rust like iron or steel. It is highly resistant to the corrosive effects of rain and outdoor exposure.
How many nails are in a 4kg tub?
The quantity depends on the weight-to-nail count ratio, but the 4kg tub is designed to provide a substantial supply for medium-to-large projects.
Are these nails magnetic?
No, because they are constructed from aluminium, they are non-ferrous and will not be picked up by a magnet.
Troubleshooting
Nail is bending during installation
Ensure you are using a smooth-faced hammer and that you are hitting the nail head squarely. If the timber is too hard, drill a small pilot hole first.
Nail head is pulling through the material
Reduce the force of your final hammer strikes or ensure you are not using the nail in high-wind zones where a washer might be required.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent resistance to rust and corrosion in exterior settings
- Lightweight and easy to drive into timber
- Large 4kg tub provides excellent value and volume for big projects
- Professional-grade durability
Cons
- Softer material may bend if struck incorrectly
- Not suitable for high-tensile structural load-bearing applications
- May require pre-drilling in very dense or seasoned hardwoods
Setup, Compatibility & Care
No specialized machinery is required to use these nails; they are compatible with standard hammers or manual nail guns designed for clout nails. When handling the 4kg tub, ensure it is stored in a dry location to keep the nails clean and free of debris. While the nails themselves are corrosion-resistant, they should not be used in contact with highly acidic materials or certain treated timbers that can accelerate galvanic reaction in aluminium. After installation, no ongoing maintenance is required, as the material naturally resists the weathering process.
