Roofing Nails

Used to fasten roofing felt, sheet metal to wood, or shingles. Roofing Nails are short with a broad flat head and the shanks can be flat or ribbed for greater pull-out tolerance. It is recommended that these nails be used outdoors but can also applied for indoor projects as well.

Why Do You Need to Use Roofing Nails?

If you are installing any type of roofing on your garden outbuilding or shed, you’ll need a fast and easy way to secure the material, while ensuring it remains solidly in place and weather-proof for years. Like masonry nails and lost head nails, these roofing nails have a specific function they have been designed for.

What are the benefits of using roofing nails?

• Galvanised Coating – Usually roofing nails are galvanised in order to resist corrosion. This also means that they won’t rust very easily when exposed to the elements, especially heavy rain and snow.
• For Use on Various Materials – You’ll find roofing nails that are suitable for use on asphalt, wood, metal and plastic roofing. This will depend on the manufacturer’s recommendation but no matter what the roof material is made from, you’ll be able to find the right nail to secure it.
• Weather Resistance – As well as effective corrosion resistance, these nails are designed to be highly weather-resistant as well. This helps to maintain the integrity of your roof all year round.
• Variety of Size – As with many other types of nails, roofing nails come in a wide variety of sizes, fit for use with any type of material you can throw them at. This means you can customise the type of nail to fit perfectly with the material you are using.
• Large Heads – Roofing nails usually have large, flat heads which makes them fantastic at holding down roofing materials and securing them in place. This provides protection from wind uplift and stops the roofing material from pulling through the nail.
