What is the finish nail?

Very often it is required to perform hidden fixing of elements during repair or finishing works . Those. So that the connection of the parts was not noticeable. In this case, use the final nail. It is in its design features allows you to get the desired effect.

The final nail has a specific purpose. It can be used only for finishing works, and to perform full-scale construction it is not suitable. The range of application of this fastener is not as great as that of a conventional building nail.

In the production of this type of fasteners use a low-carbon steel wire. It is processed by technology of volumetric cold stamping on nailing machines. Also, in the manufacturing process, the fastener can be coated. This allows you to improve the performance of fasteners. Depending on the coating used, several types of nails for finishing are distinguished.

- Without cover. The simplest option. Such nails have less strength characteristics and are more prone to corrosion. They are usually used for interior finishing of premises with low humidity.

- Galvanized. Color - silver. This type of nail is best suited for use in rooms with low humidity. Such finishing nails for lining usually find their application for interior decoration of rooms.

- Copper plated. Color - reddish. This type of fastener tolerates the effects of high humidity. The following two types of nails have the same properties. They can be used in a sauna, dressing room or on the balcony. They are also often used as finishing nails for platbands, with exterior decoration of doors and windows.

- Chromed. Color - silver.

- Brass. Color - yellowish.

The length of such nails is usually small - from 20 to 100 mm. But the latter are rare, as decorative materials of this thickness are very rare. Nails are made of fine wire. This also determines the small diameter of the rod. Its values range from 1.2 to 3.8 mm. This indicator depends on the length of the fastening element. The smaller it is, the thinner the rod. Since the finishing nail should be buried in the material after plugging, this makes its adjustments to its design features. And this applies to the cap. It is slightly wider than the rod. Its diameter varies from 2.2 to 4.2 mm. The height of the cap coincides with the diameter of the rod.

The final nail is a fastener for decorative finishing. Its main purpose is to hide the materials. But many, using similar products, make the mistake of driving a nail into the center of the decorative coating. Such installation leads to a disruption of the aesthetic appearance of the material. Finishing nails should be slaughtered at an angle in the center of the groove. This approach allows you to hide the place of connection and not to spoil the decorative cover during the installation works.
