These Unifix Galv Spring Head Roof Nails are designed for roofing professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing reliable fastening. Their key benefit is the durable galvanized finish and spring head design, ensuring secure, corrosion-resistant hold. A potential consideration is their specific size, which may not suit all roofing applications. This product offers 65mm x 3.35mm nails in a convenient 2.5kg tub, featuring a spring head for quick installation and enhanced holding power, suitable for a variety of roofing materials.

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.
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.
Each tub contains 2.5kg of Unifix Galv Spring Head Roof Nails.
'Galv' is short for galvanised, meaning the nails are coated with a layer of zinc to provide protection against rust and corrosion.
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.
Store the nails in the original 2.5kg tub in a dry, cool place to maintain their condition and prevent corrosion.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
