Nails for Flashings, Profiled Sheeting and Fittings in Timber
Nails for practical timber fixings in sheet metal work
Our nails page brings together the compact part of our range used when flashings, profiled sheeting and other fittings in timber are fixed with nails rather than screws. It is a small range, but the choice still matters when you want the right fit for the detail, the environment and the finish.
The main decision is whether you need tin nails for metal fittings in timber or clasp nails for profiled sheeting and fittings in timber. From there, the relevant comparison is usually corrosion protection, material option and dimension.
Choose the right nail type in our range
Tin nails
Choose our tin nails when you need a straightforward fixing for metal fittings in timber. This is the tighter fit for smaller flashing and fitting details where the job is less about profiled sheeting and more about getting the right nail type and corrosion option for the environment.
See details and pack data for our tin nails on page 71 in the catalogue
Clasp nails
Use our clasp nails for profiled sheeting and fittings to timber. This is the better choice when the fixing detail calls for a larger, more substantial nail than the smaller tin nail options, while still keeping the installation simple and familiar on site.

Detailed nail data in our catalogue
The catalogue section below gives you the compact technical overview for this range in one place. You can compare tin nails and clasp nails side by side, including dimensions, corrosion protection / material option and pack quantity.
Because this product family is narrow, the catalogue page is especially useful here. It lets buyers and installers confirm the right nail type quickly without having to scan through neighbouring fastening categories that belong on other product pages.
Need help choosing the right nails?
If you are choosing between tin nails and clasp nails, or between copper, stainless and other corrosion options, we can help you narrow the choice down quickly. Our team can help you match the fixing to the detail, the timber application and the environment before you order.
How do I choose between tin nails and clasp nails?
Choose tin nails when the job is fastening metal fittings in timber. Choose clasp nails when you are fastening profiled sheeting and fittings to timber. That is the clearest practical split in this range and the fastest way to avoid choosing the wrong nail type.
When should I choose copper, stainless or another corrosion option?
Start with the environment and the surrounding materials. This range includes standard corrosion-protection options as well as copper and stainless variants, so the right choice depends on how exposed the fixing is and what the detail is being installed into or alongside. For broader project decisions, our corrosion classes guide is worth using.
Can Unite help us match the right nails to a specific flashing or profiled sheet detail?
Yes. If you know the detail you are fixing, the timber substrate and the environment, we can help you choose the more suitable nail type and corrosion option faster. That is often the easiest way to avoid over-ordering the wrong designation or using a nail that is better suited to another detail.
