Galvanised Felt Nails

Galvanised felt nails refer to a range of nails made of galvanised steel that feature heavily coated heads for easy hammering, and are designed for fastening roofing felt and similar materials. These nails come in a variety of sizes and are commonly used for roofing, insulation and weather proofing applications.

Product Characteristic & Process

Galvanised felt nails are made of high-quality steel, which makes them strong and durable. The nails are finished with a galvanised coating that protects the steel from rust and corrosion, making them ideal for outdoor use. They are attached to a durable, plastic-coated wire to help hold their shape and to prevent tangling in the packaging process.

These nails come in a range of sizes, from 13mm to 40mm, and feature a large, heavily coated head, which provides a larger surface area for hammering. This makes it easy to drive the nail into the roofing felt, ensuring a secure hold. The shank of the nail is smooth, which reduces friction and improves penetration during installation. Overall, the design of these nails is optimised for performance and efficiency.

Production Process

The production process of felt nails involves several steps. First, high-quality steel wire is drawn out and cut to the desired length for each nail. The wire is then fed through a nail-making machine that shapes it into the nail head and shank. Once the nail is formed, it is coated with a layer of zinc using a process called 'hot-dip' galvanisation. This involves dipping the nails into a bath of molten zinc, which coats them in a protective layer. The nails are then dried and packaged, ready for distribution.

Packing Features

Galvanised felt nails are packaged in a way that protects them from humidity, dust and other contaminants. They are typically sold in small plastic bags, with each bag containing a set number of nails. The bags are branded and labelled with the product name, size and quantity. This makes it easy for customers to identify the product they need and order the correct amount. In addition, the bags are compact and easy to store, making them ideal for small retailers or contractors who need to keep their inventory or galvanised.

Conclusion

Felt nails are a highly effective and practical solution for fastening roofing felt and similar materials. They are designed with performance and durability in mind, and are made using a high-quality galvanisation process that protects them from rust and corrosion. With their practical packaging, these nails are easy to store and transport, making them a convenient choice for both DIY enthusiasts and professional contractors.
