Collated Nail FinishesBack to top
Bright Steel
Bright steel nails have a low resistance to corrosion and are designed for use in internal applications or in applications where the nail is not exposed to moisture in service. Ideally the timber moisture content in service should be less than 18%. Typical applications are internal framing, fixing ceiling battens or internal partitioning.
Galvanised
A galvanised finish is designed to increase a nails resistance to corrosion and increase its durability. Galvanised nails are designed to be used in applications where they are likely to be subject to some moisture in service. Typical applications, in addition to those for bright steel nails, are sub floor framing, cavity battens, cladding, decking and fencing.
Stainless Steel
EuroNails branded stainless steel nails are made of high quality Grade 316 stainless steel. This makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, including those noted above, where the nails are subjected to moisture in service and in ground, concrete embedded applications or corrosive coastal conditions.
