Product Information

Full details

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.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these nails be used in salt-air environments?

Yes, their non-ferrous, pure copper construction makes them highly resistant to the corrosive effects of salt spray.

Are these suitable for fixing lead flashing?

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.

How many nails are in a 1Kg bag?

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.

Will these nails leave rust streaks on the wood?

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.

Do I need a special hammer to drive these in?

No special hammer is required, but a smooth-faced hammer is recommended to avoid leaving impressions in the copper head.

Troubleshooting

Nail head deforming during impact

Ensure you are hitting the nail squarely. Reduce the force of each hammer blow and use a smooth-faced hammer head.

Nail bending when entering dense wood

Create a small pilot hole using a drill bit slightly smaller than the 3.35mm diameter of the nail.

Surface tarnishing or discoloration

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to corrosion and rust in wet conditions
  • High-quality, durable material suitable for professional use
  • Provides a clean, aesthetic copper finish that blends with specific architectural styles
  • Sufficient quantity in each 1Kg bag for most residential projects

Cons

  • Copper is softer than steel and may bend if hammered into extremely dense hardwood
  • More expensive than standard galvanized steel alternatives
  • Requires careful storage to prevent tarnishing before installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
