Galvanised Clout Nails – Steel – Outdoor Use

Product Overview

These 30mm galvanised clout nails are ideal for fixing roofing felt, insulation, and sheet materials to timber substrates. Made from carbon steel and featuring a hot-dip galvanised coating, they offer exceptional corrosion resistance for long-term exterior use.

The large flat head distributes load effectively to prevent tearing or pull-through on softer materials, while the sharp point ensures smooth penetration and a firm hold in timber. The 30mm length is perfect for light-duty fixing and thin sheet applications where precision and a clean finish are essential.

Supplied in a 500g bag, these nails are suitable for light-duty installations or maintenance work.
