Full details

These hooks serve as a reliable alternative to traditional copper clout nails, providing exceptional corrosion resistance through their high-quality A4 (316) stainless steel construction, though users should ensure their specific slate size and thickness are compatible with the hook dimensions before installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these hooks suitable for coastal areas?

Yes, because they are manufactured from A4 (316) stainless steel, they provide excellent resistance to salt-air corrosion.

Can I use these to replace traditional nails?

Yes, they are designed as a modern, efficient alternative to copper clout nails for slate tile repairs.

What is the diameter of the hook?

The hooks feature a 2.7mm diameter for optimal strength and balance.

How many hooks are in a box?

Each box contains 500 units.

Will the grey finish fade over time?

The RAL 7021 coating is durable, but like any external coating, it is designed to weather naturally while maintaining its structural protective properties.

Do I need special tools to install these?

Standard hand tools used in roofing, such as a hammer or slater's driving tool, are sufficient.

Troubleshooting

Hook will not penetrate the batten

Ensure you are using the correct driving tool and that the timber batten is not made of excessively dense or hardened wood.

Slate tile appears loose after installation

Verify that the hook is fully seated against the batten and that the tile thickness is within the recommended specifications for this hook size.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Superior corrosion resistance for coastal or high-exposure areas
Faster installation process compared to traditional nailing methods
Discreet aesthetic finish that matches standard grey slate
Durable stainless steel construction ensures a long service life

Cons

Limited to use with specific slate thicknesses and types
Requires proper technique to ensure the hook sits flush against the batten
Not suitable for heavy-duty slate tiles that exceed recommended load limits

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic roofing tools, specifically a slater's hammer or an appropriate driving tool to ensure the hook is securely fastened into the timber batten. Ensure the batten is of sufficient quality to hold the hook point firmly. No specialized care is required once installed, as the stainless steel material naturally resists oxidation. However, it is recommended to inspect the hook integrity during annual roof maintenance to ensure no shifting has occurred due to extreme wind events or structural movement of the timber frame.
