Clout nails are commonly used in roofing for attaching shingles, felt, and flashing, as well as for general construction and cladding applications where a wide, flat head is beneficial for holding materials securely.
Yes, the aluminium construction makes them highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making them ideal for outdoor and exposed applications like roofing.
Clout nails have a larger, flatter head than standard nails, which distributes the holding force over a wider area, preventing materials like roofing felt from tearing.
Compatibility depends on the nail gun model. Some pneumatic nail guns are designed for clout nails. Always check your nail gun's specifications to ensure it accepts this type and size of fastener.
The exact number can vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances, but a 1kg bag of 65 x 3.35mm nails typically contains several hundred pieces.
A standard claw hammer or a specific clout hammer can be used. Ensure the hammer face is large enough to strike the nail head squarely.
Ensure you are using the correct hammer or nail gun setting. If driving into hardwood, pre-drilling a pilot hole may be necessary. Check that the nail is driven straight and not at an angle.
Verify the nail is driven to the correct depth, fully embedding the shank. Ensure the material being fastened is suitable for the nail size and density. Avoid driving into excessively soft or compromised material.
While aluminium is resistant, extreme environmental conditions can still cause surface oxidation. This is typically cosmetic. Ensure nails are stored in a dry place. If this is a persistent issue, consider the specific environmental exposure of your project.
Setup: No specific setup is required for the nails themselves. Ensure you have the appropriate hammer or nail gun designed for clout nails. Select the correct depth and angle for driving the nails to achieve optimal fastening.
Compatibility: These 65 x 3.35mm nails are compatible with most standard roofing and construction materials, including wood, asphalt shingles, felt, and some softer plastics. For harder woods or metal, ensure your driving tool is sufficient.
Care: Store nails in a dry environment to maintain their condition. While aluminium is corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme conditions is not recommended. Keep the polybag sealed when not in use to prevent contamination.
