Unifix Copper Clout Nails are an essential choice for roofers, landscapers, and DIY enthusiasts who require secure, rust-resistant fasteners for outdoor projects like roofing and cladding. These high-quality nails provide long-lasting durability in exposed environments due to their non-ferrous construction; however, users should ensure they are using the correct length and gauge for their specific timber thickness to prevent splitting.

Yes, their non-ferrous, pure copper construction makes them highly resistant to the corrosive effects of salt spray.
While often used for general cladding, copper nails are frequently used in roofing, but ensure compatibility with the specific flashing material to avoid galvanic corrosion.
The exact count varies based on the manufacturing weight, but these 40 x 3.35mm nails are packaged by weight to ensure professional-grade coverage for your project.
No, unlike galvanized or steel nails, these will not produce traditional red rust streaks, although they may eventually leave a faint green-tinted copper patina over time.
No special hammer is required, but a smooth-faced hammer is recommended to avoid leaving impressions in the copper head.
Ensure you are hitting the nail squarely. Reduce the force of each hammer blow and use a smooth-faced hammer head.
Create a small pilot hole using a drill bit slightly smaller than the 3.35mm diameter of the nail.
This is a natural chemical property of copper. If an aesthetic finish is required, consider lightly polishing with a specialized metal cleaner, though the patina typically provides a protective layer.
To ensure the best results, always pre-drill thin or brittle timber to prevent splitting, as the 3.35mm gauge is substantial. Because copper is a softer metal, avoid using heavy-duty pneumatic nail guns unless they are calibrated for soft fasteners, as high-pressure impacts can deform the nail heads. For manual application, a standard claw hammer is sufficient. Store the nails in a dry place inside their original packaging; moisture during storage can lead to premature patina or oxidation of the copper surface.
