Designed primarily for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts, these 30mm Plastic Headed Pins by PBSL Group offer a robust solution for securing UPVC fascia and soffit boards to rooflines. The key benefit is the combination of a corrosion-resistant marine-grade stainless steel shank and a durable Polyamide head, ensuring a long-lasting, weather-resistant finish; however, the pins are specifically sized for thinner materials, which may limit their utility for heavier structural applications.

Yes, because they are manufactured from A4 marine-grade stainless steel, they are highly resistant to salt-air corrosion.
The heads are designed to be proportional to the 30mm pin length, providing a wide enough surface area for a secure finish on standard UPVC boards.
While they can be used for interior applications, their design is specifically optimized for external weather-resistant roofline installations.
The Polyamide material used for the heads is selected for high UV stability to minimize color degradation in outdoor environments.
While it is possible to paint them, the surface finish of the Polyamide is smooth and typically does not require painting.
They are highly corrosion-resistant due to the A4 stainless steel construction, which is the standard for long-term outdoor exposure.
Use a nylon or rubber-faced hammer to drive the pins home, or wrap a small piece of cloth around the face of a standard steel hammer.
Ensure you are using the correct hammer weight and consider drilling a very small pilot hole if the timber is exceptionally dense or prone to splitting.
Check that the timber behind the board is not damaged or rotted, as the ring-shank requires sound wood to achieve maximum grip.
For optimal results, ensure the timber behind the fascia board is solid and free from rot. Use a hammer with a soft face to prevent marking the Polyamide heads during the final drive. If installing in colder temperatures, ensure the UPVC boards have sufficient gaps for thermal expansion before fixing with the pins. Because these are marine-grade stainless steel, they require no additional maintenance or anti-corrosion treatments, though you should avoid using standard carbon steel tools on the pins to prevent cross-contamination of metallic dust that could lead to surface staining.
