Aluminium Clout Nails 30–65 mm (2.65 mm & 3.35 mm Gauge)

• Material: High-quality aluminium alloy – naturally rust-proof and highly resistant to corrosion in normal atmospheric conditions.
• Head Type: Large flat clout (slate) head – provides excellent holding power, load distribution, and minimises pull-through on soft or sheet materials.
• Shank: Smooth, round wire shank for good penetration and grip.
• Available Sizes:
  • Lengths: 30 mm, 35 mm, 38 mm, 50 mm, 65 mm
  • Diameters (Gauge):
    • 30 mm × 2.65 mm
    • 35 mm, 38 mm, 50 mm & 65 mm × 3.35 mm

Typical Applications

• Fixing roofing felt, underlay, and breathable membranes
• Securing roof tiles, slates, and sheet materials
• Installing cedar shingles or wooden shakes
• Exterior cladding and soffit/fascia boards
• Fencing, shed construction, and softwood projects
• General exterior carpentry where rust staining must be avoided

Performance Advantages

• Rust-resistant: Aluminium will not rust or cause staining on roofing materials, unlike steel nails.
• Lightweight: Significantly lighter than copper or steel equivalents, reducing overall roof load and making handling easier.
• Cost-effective: More affordable than copper while still offering excellent corrosion resistance for most environments.
• Non-magnetic and suitable for use where electrolysis risks with other metals need consideration (avoid direct contact with copper in wet conditions).

Selection Guide

• 2.65 mm gauge (30 mm): Best for lighter roofing felt, thinner materials, and general fixing.
• 3.35 mm gauge (35–65 mm): Provides greater strength for thicker slates, tiles, high-wind areas, or heavier-duty applications.
