- Diameters (Gauge): 2.65 mm (lighter duty) and 3.35 mm (heavier duty)
Typical Applications
- Fixing natural and artificial roof slates
- Securing roofing felt, underlay, and breathable membranes
- Installing cedar shingles or wooden shakes
- Marine and boat-building applications
- Exterior cladding and fencing in corrosive environments
- Traditional heritage roofing restoration
Performance Advantages
- Rust-free: Unlike steel or galvanised nails, copper will not corrode or cause rust stains on slate, tile, or leadwork.
- BS 1202-2 compliant (for copper nails) in relevant sizes.
- Long service life: Often lasts the lifetime of the roof (50+ years).
- Non-staining: Ideal for visible or premium roofing materials.
Selection Guide
- 2.65 mm gauge (30–38 mm): Best for thinner slates, felt, and lighter roofing materials.
- 3.35 mm gauge (38–50 mm): Recommended for thicker slates, high-wind exposure areas, or when greater holding strength is required.
