Unifix Aluminium Clout Nails - Silver

The primary advantage is their excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making them ideal for outdoor and damp environments where steel nails would degrade.

While durable, aluminium is softer than steel. These nails are best suited for roofing, cladding, and general fastening rather than heavy-duty structural applications that require high tensile strength.

The exact number can vary slightly based on manufacturing tolerances, but the 1kg bag provides a substantial quantity suitable for most common projects.

Yes, provided the nail gun is set up for 70 x 3.35mm nails and the material being fastened is appropriate. Be mindful of the force settings to avoid deforming the aluminium nail.

They are not ideal for very hard woods, concrete, or metal structures requiring the shear strength of steel nails. Also, avoid direct, prolonged contact with certain chemicals that can react with aluminium.

Store the 1kg polybag in a dry, cool place away from direct moisture to maintain their condition.

Ensure the material being fastened is not excessively hard. Verify you are using the correct size and type of hammer or nail gun. Reduce the force applied if necessary.

Check that the nail is fully driven into the material. Ensure the material thickness is adequate to provide sufficient grip. Verify there are no pre-existing holes that weaken the hold.

This is typically superficial and may be caused by handling or environmental factors. For functional purposes, the aluminium's core integrity remains. Clean gently with a damp cloth if aesthetic appearance is critical.
