Nails and staples
Our selection includes a wide range of machine nails and hand-driven nails designed specifically for fastening different materials such as wood, metal, and plastic.
Nails, staples, and machine nails – overview
Nails and staples are mechanical fastening elements used across many different industries. They join two or more parts together with sharp points that penetrate the material being fastened. Machine nails and coil nails, on the other hand, are specialized products designed especially for industrial applications where greater speed and precision are required.
1. Nails
Nails are used especially for fastening wood, concrete, and brick. They are available in different lengths, thicknesses, and coatings depending on the application.
Types:
Wood nails: The most common choice for construction projects where a durable joint is needed for wood surfaces.
Concrete nails: Designed specifically for fastening into concrete and stone, with a harder tip.
Metal nails: Metal fastening applications require especially harder nails.
Materials:
Steel: The most common nails are made of steel and may be either galvanized (for corrosion protection) or stainless.
Brass: Used in decorative applications where the metal should not react with the surrounding environment.
Acid-resistant steel: Used in the most demanding conditions, such as near seawater.
Applications:
Wood structures
Furniture fastening
Construction projects and frame assembly
2. Staples (U-staples, L-staples, etc.)
Staples are J- or U-shaped fasteners used especially for securing walls, ceilings, and structures. They are also well suited for production and industrial environments where fast and reliable fastening is needed.
Types:
U-staples: A good choice when balanced support or vertical fastening is required.
L-staples: Used especially for corner fastening.
Hinge staples: For structures that need to move and are not completely fixed.
Materials:
Galvanized steel: The most common staples, offering good durability against corrosion.
Stainless steel: For higher corrosion-resistance requirements.
Aluminum and brass: Used in lighter-duty and decorative applications.
Applications:
Construction and demolition work
Insulation and building boards
Industrial installations and support structures
3. Machine nails
Machine nails (or nailer nails) are nails designed specifically for industrial use with nailer tools. They enable fast and efficient nailing in high-volume applications.
Types:
Flat and round nails: Various profiles and nail lengths for machine nails, depending on the type of tool and intended use.
Nailer tip types: V- or U-tips, depending on the material being fastened (e.g. wood, brick).
Materials:
Gray steel or stainless steel: Strong yet lightweight nails suitable for fastening different materials.
Acid-resistant steel: A corrosion-resistant option especially for outdoor use and demanding environments.
Applications:
Construction processes where rapid nailing is required (e.g. roof and wall structures).
Furniture manufacturing, especially on production lines.
4. Coil nails
Coil nails are nails designed specifically for nailing tools and supplied in coils. This ensures a continuous nailing process without the need to repeatedly load nails by hand.
Types:
Collated nailing: Designed especially for fastening wood and construction boards.
Specialty coils: For metal structures, plastic panels, and other specialty materials.
Materials:
Steel and stainless steel: More durable options that ensure long-lasting performance and reliable fastening.
Brass: For decorative applications where the fastening must also have a refined visual appearance.
Applications:
Roof structures, assembly of structures on production lines.
Special fastening applications in the furniture industry.
