Reliable fastening of the soft roof with tin nails

Roofing material called tol was once very popular, but now it is used infrequently. But round tole nails (GOST 4029-63), used for its fastening, have received a new application.

Special type of fastening material

Often the question arises, which type of nails is best used in working with wood products? As a rule, nails made of steel, bronze, brass and copper are used in such cases. To ensure a strong connection of the wooden structure, it is important to know what type of boards will be used, as well as the dimensions of the fastener elements.

Types of nails produced from wire materials can differ in different diameters at the core, the heads, are conical or flat. For example, if the nail is 1.6 millimeters in size, it is available with a flat head, and a large diameter assumes a conical hat. The diameter of the flat head is equal to the double diameter of the rod.

Conducting fasteners using such nails

Roof nails are designed for roofing roofing. A feature of these types of nails is the elimination of a violation of the integral composition of materials used in the construction of the roof, which has low strength. The purpose of using such nails is to fix materials that are particularly soft. They are ideal for working with roofing felt and roofing felt (hence their direct name). The presence of wide hats, flat heads allows the reliable fixing of the roof, excluding the spoilage of materials of insignificant thickness. This saves time and money, as these products will not damage building materials.

Production process and use of tolevy nails

Such nails allow you to effectively fasten:

• Ruberoid, only;
• Flexible bituminous ceramics;
• Asbestos-cement tiles;
• Sheets widely used in crates during the construction of a home roof.

This type of nails is successfully used in the assembly of furniture products. They allow you to reliably attach pressed materials (MDF, MDF) to wooden surfaces. It is also possible that they can be used in the decoration process.

The presence of a small diameter washer and galvanized material in the design of nails makes it possible to avoid undesirable rust, which in due course can occur on the surface of the slate.

The trefoil types have special grooves, located along the surface of the rod, which guarantees high reliability of fastening.

The carved type of nails, unlike conventional ones, is the most durable for bends, does not split wooden material during clogging.

Roof modifications of tin nails (according to GOST) are widely used in the arrangement of roofs, providing high quality of fastening, durability during operation.

Application Features

When choosing a nail, special attention should be paid to the diameter of its rod. Very thin and long nails are often bent, as a result, the roofing material is damaged, it has to be repaired or replaced.

For the installation of a high-quality roof, nails that match the following parameters are selected:

• Fastening of material on the slopes is carried out by products having a length of 20-25 mm and a diameter of the cap of 7 mm;
• Roofing on the ridge and ribs is fastened with nails 30 mm long, the minimum diameter of the cap should be 10 mm.

The installation process is simple: the nail is driven in a strictly vertical manner with a hammer until the cap is firmly in contact with the roof.

Tole nails are products specially designed for installation of soft roofing. For other works they are rarely used.
