Types of collated nails
Our extensive trade store supplies robust collated nails engineered for various types of daily professional on-site fixing work. Click on the links provided to visit our dedicated category:
1) Brad nails
These slim 18-gauge wire fasteners are ideal for fixing delicate internal beading or architraves. Our trade brad nails sink completely flush into timber profiles without splitting the grain. They prevent surface blowouts on fine timber. This ensures pristine results on high-end joinery jobs without wasting time on extensive filling work.
2) Coil nails
High-capacity drums hold these versatile, collated nails to keep large-scale carpentry work moving fast. Coil nails reduce loading downtime on long framing runs. They work perfectly across major site applications. This type of fixing is ideal for high-speed industrial fencing work or structural pallet assembly, where speed is vital.
3) Corrugated fasteners
These wavy steel strips provide a powerful mechanical grip across mitred joint setups. They are easy to add to basket for quick structural workshop assemblies. Corrugated fasteners keep timber frames square. These hard-wearing steel pieces drive across the wood seam to prevent any shifting during glue curing cycles on site.
4) Corufix packaging nails
This tough category features robust, wide-head fasteners designed for building secure shipping crates. These industrial fixes offer solid structural strength. Corufix packaging nails provide vital surface protection by clamping multi-wall corrugated board securely to heavy timber pallets without tearing through the material under load.
5) Finish nails
Thicker 16-gauge brands offer a massive structural difference compared to smaller pins. They provide a solid mechanical hold on heavy door linings. Finish nails resist bending under pressure, choose these if you need extra shear strength for substantial timber trim installations that experience regular impact or heavy daily use.
6) First fix nails
Structural first fix nails lock heavy roof timbers and stud partitions together permanently. You can add gas fuel cells to your order for seamless site mobility. They handle demanding load requirements and are engineered to comply with strict structural building regulations across all heavy timber framing applications.
7) Flooring nails
High-performance flooring nails are essential trade products for professional builders installing traditional solid tongue and groove boards. They pull floorboards down exceptionally tight and eliminate squeaking. Work them with an industrial-grade flooring nail gun to drive the fasteners cleanly through the wood tongue at a perfect angle.
8) Headless pins
These fine 23-gauge pins disappear completely into decorative face timbers for pristine seamless finishes. Headless pins are ideal for delicate mirror frame applications and secret glazing beads. They leave zero visible holes, which means detail carpenters can fasten ornate mouldings without marring pre-finished surfaces or splitting fragile wood pieces.
9) Raptor plastic nails
Non-metal composite fasteners are a smart choice when passing through saw blades or processing machinery. This innovative collection will never rust or cause hidden tool blade damage. Raptor plastic nails cut cleanly, and you can plane or sand these polymer fasteners flush without dulling expensive industrial cutting edges in the workshop.
10) Ring shank nails
Robust ring shank nails provide a permanent mechanical hold for exterior structural construction projects. The ribbed profile makes them the ultimate choice for exposed decking structures. The deep ridges grip the wood fibres permanently to withstand natural timber movement in wet outdoor environments.
11) Roofing coil nails
Extra-wide hot-dip galvanised roofing coil nails secure felt and slate blankets safely against high wind lifting forces. These robust products fit standard trade collated nails and roofing tools. They provide lasting protection as the heavy zinc coating extends the structural lifespan of the fixings on exposed residential roof structures.
12) Second fix nails
Precision second fix nails deliver a clean finish for internal joinery work. They are the best option for carpenters fitting pre-machined skirting boards and decorative timber architraves. They sand down smoothly and run flawlessly through angled nailers to help you reach right into tight corners.
13) Strip & framing nails
Heavy strip and framing nails are held in clipped paper strips at standard angles. These durable strip nails drop straight into your framing nail guns for rapid timber structural assembly. They load instantly. We stock an extensive range of angles and lengths to match your specific site framing tools.
Materials used in nail gun nails manufacturing
Selecting the correct metal finish ensures structural compliance and long-term joint durability on site.
1) Bright steel nails
These basic, untreated steel fixings offer excellent raw strength for internal timber framing tasks. They are ideal for structural roof trusses or floor joists where moisture is completely absent. Simply add them to your pneumatic nailer to maintain maximum driving efficiency on dry interior jobs. As they lack protective coatings, these high-volume collated nails are the most cost-effective option for rapid first-fix structural assembly.
2) Galvanised steel nails
These carbon steel nails feature a protective zinc coating to resist rust when exposed to moisture. The protective layer makes these robust products ideal for outdoor timber work, including residential fencing and battening projects. They are supplied in rigid nail strips that feed cleanly through your heavy-duty nail guns. The durable D-head or full round head nails keep external cladding secured flat against timber frames without rusting.
3) Stainless steel nails
Premium-grade stainless steel nails offer ultimate corrosion protection in highly exposed or coastal environments. These high-performance products are the top choice for fixing cedar, larch, or pressure-treated timber structures. While a few DIY enthusiasts use them for home decks, trade pros depend on them to prevent wood staining. Our range includes various gauge and nail length options to satisfy strict local building control criteria on site.
