Galvanised Clout Nails

(7 Products)

Galvanised clout nails are robust fasteners used predominantly in construction and carpentry for securing materials to wooden surfaces. These nails are commonly made from mild steel coated with zinc through galvanisation, which shields them from corrosion and extends their lifespan, particularly in outdoor environments. Featuring flat, broad heads for distributing pressure and preventing pull-through, galvanised clout nails offer strong holding power and versatility across applications such as roofing, carpentry, and fencing.

What Are Galvanised Clout Nails?

Galvanised clout nails are nails with wide, flat heads that provide excellent holding power. They are coated with a layer of zinc through the galvanisation process, which protects them from rust and corrosion. 


These nails are available in various lengths (mm) to suit different applications, ensuring a secure and durable fastening solution.


Their sharp points and optionally ribbed shanks enhance penetration and grip into wood and other soft materials. Installation involves considerations like pre-drilling for dense woods and using appropriate hammering techniques to avoid damage or bending.

Where Are Galvanised Clout Nails Used?

  • Roofing projects to secure roofing materials such as tiles, shingles, and roofing felt.
  • General construction where strong, weather-resistant fastening is required.
  • Carpentry and woodworking for attaching wooden panels and structural elements securely.
  • Outdoor projects such as fencing, decking, and garden furniture assembly.
