Knowledge about umbrella nails
-
Umbrella roofing nail, as the name suggests, are specially designed for roofing material installation. These nails have smooth or twisted handles and umbrella heads, and are the most commonly used nails, with low cost and good performance. The umbrella head is designed to prevent the roof panel from tearing around the nail head and provide artistic and decorative effects. Twisted handles and pointed heads can hold wood and roof tiles in place without slipping. We use Q195, Q235 carbon steel, 304/316 stainless steel, copper or aluminum as materials to ensure that the nails are resistant to extreme weather and corrosion. In addition, rubber or plastic gaskets are provided to prevent water leakage.

How to Choose a Right Umbrella Roofing Nail?
Factors to Consider
Umbrella roofing nail size and length
In actual operation, a proper nail length should be 3 times the thickness of the substrate you are nailing through. E.g.,
A 8-penny nail is suitable to fasten a 1-inch-thick material and a 16-penny nail is suitable to fasten a 2-inch-thick
Material & coating Sometimes, the elements of the project will be exposed to outdoor or wet conditions for a long time. If so, except for a proper nail length, an anti-corrosion surface coating is another factor to consider in making the project strong and reliable.
Electro-galvanized, it is a zinc electrolytic process that adding a thin coating to the carbon steel nails. Electrogalvanizing coating can withstand dry and low-corrosion applications for a few more months or possibly an extra year. But it is not recommended for corrosive environments.
Hot dipped galvanized. It is an effective way of metal corrosion, mainly used for metal structure on the facilities of the industry. Hot dipped galvanized umbrella roofing nails are recommended for pressure treated wood and cedar which can cause standard nails to corrode quickly.
Stainless Steel 304/316. These types of materials are the appropriate choices for high level corrosion protection requirement. Especially for most exterior applications. 316 grade stainless steel, chromium-nickel alloys, can stand up Marine and corrosive industrial atmospheres.
