Roofing material called roofing was once very popular, but now it is rarely used. But round roofing nails (GOST 4029-63), used for its fastening, received a new application.
Special type of fixing material
Often the question arises, what type of nails is better to use in working with wood products? As a rule, in such cases, nails made of steel, bronze, brass and copper are used. 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 size parameters of the fastener elements.
Types of nails produced from wire materials can differ in different diameters at the rod, head, can be conical or flat. For example, if the nail has a size of 1.6 millimeters, it is produced 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.
Carrying fasteners using such nails
Roofing nails are intended for arrangement of a roof of roofs. A feature of these types of nails is the exclusion of violations of the integral composition of the materials used in the construction of the roof, which has low strength. The purpose of using such nails is to fasten materials that are particularly soft. They are ideal for working with roofing material and roofing felt (hence their immediate name). The presence of wide hats, flat heads allows for reliable fastening of the roof, eliminating damage to materials having a small thickness. This saves time and money, as these products will not damage building materials.
The process of production and use of roofing nails
Such nails allow you to effectively fasten:
- roofing material, roofing;
- flexible bituminous ceramics;
- asbestos-cement tiles;
- sheets that are widely used in battens in 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 (fiberboard, MDF) to wooden surfaces. Also, the possibility of their use in the decoration process is not ruled out.
The presence of a small diameter washer and galvanized material in the construction of nails helps to avoid unwanted rust, which may eventually occur on the surface of the slate.
The types of clubs have special grooves located along the surface of the rod, which ensures high reliability of fastening.
The carved type of nails, unlike the usual ones, is the most durable for bending; when hammering, it does not split wooden material.
Roofing modifications of roofing nails (according to GOST) are widely used in the arrangement of roofs, providing high quality fastening, durability during operation.
Application features
When choosing a nail, special attention should be paid to the diameter of its shaft. Very thin and long nails are often bent, as a result the roofing material is damaged, it is necessary to repair or replace it.
To install a quality roof, nails are selected that correspond to the following parameters:
- material fastening on slopes is carried out by products having a length of 20-25 mm and a hat diameter of 7 mm;
- the roof 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: a nail is driven in strictly vertically with a hammer until the cap is in close contact with the roof.
Roofing nails are products specially designed for the installation of soft roofing. For other work, they are rarely used.
