FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the spring head design?

The spring head provides a more secure, self-tightening grip on the roofing material and can help the nail drive more cleanly, leading to faster installation.

Are these nails suitable for all types of roofing?

They are suitable for a variety of common roofing materials. However, the 65mm length might not be ideal for very thick materials, and specific project requirements may necessitate different nail types or sizes.

How much material is in one tub?

Each tub contains 2.5kg of Unifix Galv Spring Head Roof Nails.

What does 'Galv' mean?

'Galv' is short for galvanised, meaning the nails are coated with a layer of zinc to provide protection against rust and corrosion.

Can I use these nails for interior projects?

While they can be used, the galvanised finish is primarily intended for outdoor, weather-exposed applications. For interior projects where corrosion is not a concern, other nail types might be more cost-effective or aesthetically suitable.

How should I store the remaining nails?

Store the nails in the original 2.5kg tub in a dry, cool place to maintain their condition and prevent corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Nail bending during installation

Ensure you are using a hammer with sufficient force and striking the nail head squarely. Check that the material being fastened is adequately supported and not excessively hard or brittle.

Corrosion observed on nails

While galvanised, prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments or standing water can eventually affect the coating. Ensure proper storage in a dry place. If installed, check for drainage issues around the roof area.

Spring head not holding securely

Verify that the nail is driven fully into the material. Ensure the surface is not damaged or overly smooth where the spring head makes contact. The nail is designed for a grip, not a flush finish in all applications.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent corrosion resistance due to the galvanised finish.
  • Spring head design aids in secure fastening and quicker installation.
  • Generous 2.5kg tub provides good value and sufficient quantity for projects.
  • Suitable for a variety of common roofing materials.
  • Professional-grade quality for dependable performance.

Cons

  • The specific nail size (65mm x 3.35mm) may not be ideal for all roofing types or thicknesses.
  • Galvanised nails may not be suitable for all environments or specific aesthetic requirements.
  • Requires appropriate tools (e.g., hammer) for installation, not self-fastening.
  • Weight of the 2.5kg tub can be cumbersome for very small or mobile tasks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

No specific setup is required for these nails. They are ready for use directly from the tub with a standard hammer or nailing tool.

Compatibility:

These nails are generally compatible with a wide range of common roofing materials, including:

  • Asphalt shingles
  • Corrugated metal sheeting
  • Felt
  • Wooden battens

Ensure the nail length is appropriate for the thickness of the materials being fastened to achieve optimal holding power. For very thick materials or specific structural requirements, consult roofing guidelines or a professional.

Care:

Store the remaining nails in the original 2.5kg tub in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the galvanised coating and prevent premature rusting. Keep the tub sealed when not in use. Handle with care to avoid injury.
