Galvanize Nails – Maximum Corrosion Resistance and Pull-Out Strength for Roofing

These Galvanized Nails are an essential fastening solution for all exterior roofing and sheeting applications. The core feature is the galvanized finish, which applies a thick layer of protective zinc to the steel, providing excellent corrosion and rust resistance—a necessity for materials exposed to rain, humidity, and varying temperatures.

The nail design is optimized for roofing integrity: the large, broad head spreads the load across the material’s surface, preventing soft substrates (like felt or shingles) from tearing or pulling over the nail head. Furthermore, the unique twisted/spiral shank drastically increases the friction and surface area of contact within the wood, providing superior pull-out resistance crucial for securing roofing against high winds and wind uplift forces.

Key Benefits

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Galvanized coating protects against rust and ensures long service life in exterior, high-moisture applications.

• Maximum Holding Power: Twisted/Spiral shank significantly increases grip and pull-out resistance, vital for securing roofing materials against wind.

• Material Protection: Large, broad head prevents soft roofing materials (felt, shingle) from tearing or pulling over the nail head.

• Durable Steel Construction: High-strength steel provides reliable driving without bending.

• Optimized Design: Combines a sharp diamond point for easy penetration with a specialized head and shank for roofing integrity.

• Fixing corrugated plastic or metal sheeting to wood purlins.

• Exterior trim, fencing, and general construction in humid environments.

Application Instructions

• Driving: Drive the nail perpendicular (straight) into the wood substrate.

• Setting: Ensure the broad head is seated flush against the material but do not overdrive or crush the roofing material, which can damage the seal.

• Spacing: Follow roofing manufacturer’s instructions for correct nail spacing and placement along the material’s edge.

• Safety: Always wear safety glasses when hammering.

Pro Tips

• Always match the nail length to the material thickness, ensuring adequate penetration into the wood substrate for maximum hold.

• The twisted shank design works best when driven into wood framing; avoid driving into metal or masonry.

• For the best rust resistance, avoid scraping the nail heads during installation, which can damage the galvanized coating.

• Use a hammer designed for roofing (with a textured face) for accurate driving.
