It is mainly used for laying and fixing roofs to ensure the stability and durability of roofing materials.

What is the difference between roofing nails and common nails?

The main difference between these two types of nails is that roofing nails are designed specifically for roofs, are weather-resistant, have larger nail heads that not only help prevent damage to asphalt shingles but also make it easier to grab and remove them, and have shorter top rods.

What is another name for Galvanized roofing nails?

Galvanized steel roofing nails, often called “galvanized nails”, “zinc coated roofing nails” or “hot dip galvanized roofing nails”, the nail rod is made of Q195, and Q235 carbon steel wire as raw steel wire, the nail cap is made of Iron sheet in coil as raw material, initially forming Raw Roofing nail, and then through roller galvanizing, forming electro-galvanized nails or hot-dip galvanized nails.

What do you use for roofing nails?
