Aluminium Clout Nails – Outdoor Use – Roofing

Product Overview

These 30mm aluminium clout nails are expertly designed for lightweight sheet fixing and applications requiring high corrosion resistance. Manufactured from durable aluminium, they offer strength and long-term protection against oxidation, making them ideal for exterior use in roofing and cladding systems.

The large flat head provides an excellent holding area to prevent pull-through of thin materials, while the sharp point allows easy penetration into timber and soft sheet substrates. The 30mm length is perfect for light-duty fixing tasks and thin sheet materials.

Supplied in a 1kg pack, these nails offer an ample quantity for ongoing trade or site use.
