Forgefix Roof Felt Nails - 13mm

The large head is designed to distribute the holding power over a wider area of the roofing felt. This significantly reduces the risk of the felt tearing around the nail, ensuring a more secure and durable fastening.

These nails are specifically designed for fitting roofing felt onto structures like sheds. They are not typically recommended for use with other roofing materials such as tiles or metal sheeting, which require different fastening methods.

The nails are galvanised, meaning they have a protective zinc coating to resist rust and corrosion. For best results, store them in a dry place before use and ensure they are installed properly on the roof.

Each bag weighs 250g. They are commonly sold in packs of three bags.

While they are strong, their specific design (large head) is optimized for roofing felt. For general-purpose fastening, standard nails or screws might be more appropriate depending on the material and required holding strength.

You will need a standard hammer to drive the nails into the roofing material and the underlying structure.

Ensure you are driving the nail straight. If hitting a particularly hard spot in the timber, try a slightly different angle or pre-drilling a small pilot hole.

This typically indicates insufficient nail head surface area or excessive tension on the felt. Ensure nails are spaced correctly (as per felt manufacturer guidelines) and use the Forgefix Felt Nails as intended due to their large head design.

While galvanisation provides resistance, extreme prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or constant saltwater environments could eventually affect the coating. Check for any damage to the coating during installation. If significant rust appears quickly, contact the supplier.
