Fixing Nails – Anthracite Grey – Exterior Use

Product Overview

These Professional Fixing Nails in Anthracite Grey are designed for secure, corrosion-resistant attachment of external cladding, fascia, and soffit profiles. Each box contains 100 nails with a length of 50mm, featuring a color-matched PVC-U headed fixing and a stainless steel shank. This ensures a durable and visually discrete fixing point that maintains color consistency and resists degradation in outdoor conditions.

The PVC-U head conceals the metal shank completely, preventing rust staining and maintaining a seamless appearance on exposed surfaces. Manufactured to provide long-term performance, these nails offer easy installation and compatibility with all standard PVC-U building components.

• UV and weather stability: Maintains color integrity and structural performance under continuous exposure.
• Neat concealed finish: Flush PVC-U head removes visible fixings for a professional appearance.
• Simple installation: Designed for quick hand or mechanical fixing without pre-drilling in most substrates.
