Description
Overview:
Nails are one of the most commonly used fasteners in construction, woodworking, and manufacturing. Made from a variety of materials such as steel, stainless steel, and galvanized iron, nails come in different sizes, types, and coatings to meet the needs of different industries. They are used for joining materials together by driving them into the substrate, providing a secure and long-lasting hold.
Design & Material:
Nails are typically made from high-strength steel, carbon steel, or stainless steel, and can come with different surface finishes such as galvanized (for corrosion resistance), plain (for standard applications), or coated (for specific uses like coated for extra grip or rust protection). The type of nail, length, and thickness vary depending on the job, with common sizes ranging from small finishing nails to large framing nails.
Types:
-
Common Nails: General-purpose nails for wood, framing, and construction
-
Finish Nails: Smaller, smooth nails used for trim, moldings, and cabinetry
-
Box Nails: Thinner than common nails, used for lighter wood applications
-
Concrete Nails: Designed for fastening into concrete or masonry
-
Brad Nails: Very thin nails used for fine woodwork and decorative purposes
-
