Clout Nails

Description

Clout nails are thick, short-shank nails with a broad, flat head—designed to securely fasten soft or thin materials without causing damage. Their durability and wide head surface make them a trusted choice for roofing, construction, fencing, and light woodworking applications.

Key Features:

• Large, flat head that distributes pressure evenly—ideal for delicate roofing felt, insulation boards, or thin metal sheets

• Short, robust shank ensures a tight hold in wood and reduces the chance of tearing or splintering materials

• Ideal uses include securing roofing felt on sheds, attaching plywood or sheet metal, and fixing fence palings

• Material options include galvanized mild steel for Rust resistance, copper for high-corrosion environments, and aluminum as a cost-effective alternative

• Superior performance for restoration: Traditional square-cut clout nails produced using century-old methods are especially great for antique woodworking and restoration projects—they shear wood fibers to prevent splitting and resist pull-out

• A go-to solution for secure attachment of soft or delicate sheet materials to wood.
