Yes, the copper construction provides excellent resistance to saltwater environments compared to standard steel nails.
Copper does not rust in the way iron does, but it will develop a green patina as a protective oxide layer when exposed to the elements.
These are designed for manual installation; using them in a pneumatic nailer is not recommended due to their softness, which may cause jams.
The exact count varies slightly due to manufacturing tolerances, but 2.5kg provides a significant volume of fasteners for extensive roofing work.
Yes, copper nails are the industry standard for cedar shingles as they do not react with the natural tannins in the wood.
These are solid copper clout nails, ensuring the corrosion resistance is uniform through the entire thickness of the nail.
Reduce the force of your strike and ensure you are hitting the head perfectly flat; if the wood is too hard, pre-drill a small pilot hole.
Use a light tap for the final few millimeters to ensure the head sits flush rather than punching through the roofing felt.
Installation requires only a standard claw or roofing hammer. When using these nails for timber-to-timber joinery, ensure the substrate is dry and structurally sound to maximize the hold. While these nails resist rust, they should not be used with treated timbers containing specific chemical additives that might react with copper. To maintain the aesthetic appearance, avoid getting grease or excessive oil on the nail heads during installation. Store the tubs in a cool, dry place to prevent the nails from developing a premature patina before they are used.
