Product inventor Jimmy Hall, a slater and tiler for the past 45 years, couldn’t stand to see a beautiful slate roof covered in unsightly lead or copper straps. He had tried all the slate repairs on the market. Another benefit of copper is that it contains chemicals that are poisonous to moss and algae. When rainwater falls and passes over the copper nails, the chemicals are spread over the roof. As a result, it prevents moss and algae growth. A screw shank nail is designed with a spiral thread, which helps the nail to twist in when it is driven into a material. Additionally, a screw shank nail features a diamond tip, which makes it easier to penetrate the roofing material. Aluminium nails are popular due to their natural rust-resistant properties, which are often even better than manmade rust-resistant coatings that are applied to other roofing nails. Additionally, aluminium nails are commonly chosen due to their lightweight characteristics, which not only minimises the additional weight on the roof but also makes installation easier. Galvanised nails can be used in a wide range of applications, but are most commonly used in the installation of asphalt shingles and felt on outbuildings, sheds and more – wherever adverse weather conditions are common, galvanised nails are a good choice.
When working on a roofing project, there are several different types of roofing nail to choose from. Each type of roofing nail has a slightly different benefit. So each individual type works best when used with a specific type of roofing material. This means it is important to ensure you have the correct roofing nails for your latest roofing project. Copper nails are most commonly used to fix slates on pitched roofs, but can also be used to secure roofing tiles in place. Copper is also used to create slate straps, which are used on slate roofs to hold broken slates in place, either as a temporary fix or a more long term solution. Stainless steel nails TIL-R Classic Copper Slate Straps are suitable for use on pitched slate roofs, at all exposures throughout the UK.Fixing with a slate hook involves trimming the head of the slate, thereby losing some head lap (a building inspector may not accept this) Copper nails are known for their durability and long lifespans, as well as their resistance to chemicals and rust-resistant properties. The copper nail is also much stronger than other nails such as aluminium nails. Therefore they can be used to secure roofing materials to harder wood with no issues.

Ring shank nails Smooth shank nails are one of the most popular forms of roofing nail available. With no thread, the smooth shank nail relies on the friction between the wood fibres and the smooth shank for resistance and holding power. Smooth shank nails can be used in a wide range of general construction applications, and provide enough strength and holding power for most uses. Clout nails Some metal fixings are flimsy.
