Twist Nails
(0 Products)Twist nails are unique fasteners that feature a helical/spiral shaft design, allowing the nails to have higher holding power when compared to traditional nails. These nails are commonly used in construction or carpentry, where tasks like holding and bonding in decking, flooring, and framing are needed.
What are Twist Nails?
Twist nails are engineered to absorb movement commonly occurring during construction, and are often used to fix joist hangers, restraining straps and other fastening projects.
Twist nails feature a countersunk head, thereby the nail fits flush or below the surface of the material it's penetrating, improving the overall aesthetic of the project and making painting over the surface easier.
On top of this, the twist nails have a grooved shank, increasing the surface area of the nail, resulting in enhanced gripping power.
The nail's diamond-point tip is bevelled, thus allowing the nail to be driven onto a surface with better precision and reducing the breakage/splitting of materials.
Twist nails retain flexibility within their makeup as they aren't hardened, making it less likely for them to snap under workloads.
Lastly, the nails are coated with a layer of bright zinc, adding corrosion resistance to the nails, leading to better durability and longevity when exposed to outdoor and indoor wear.
Where are Twist Nails Used?
Twist nails are used as fasteners in construction and carpentry, more specifically:
- Flooring
- Decking
- Framing
- Roofing
- Joist Hangers
Twist Nails Benefits
- Unique Design: The nail shanks are spiralled, embedding them into a surface with a stronger hold.
- Aesthetically Pleasing: Their countersunken head fits flush on surfaces, making paint jobs easier and the overall finish clean and tidy.
- Ease of Installation: The diamond-point bevel tip makes hammering or installing the nails onto a surface easier.
- Optimal Integrity: Non-hardened and bright zinc coating aspects of the nail allow for flexibility and longevity.
