According to the classification of construction nails are materials such as fasteners or hardware (small parts). There are many functions performed by nails – from ordinary bonding boards to “pristrelivaniya” wooden structures to concrete base.

Material for the manufacture of conventional construction nails is a crude steel. By coating the nails are:

• Electro
• hot-dip galvanized
• Acid-resistant
• copper

For capital construction building codes is recommended to use nails, hot-dip galvanized passed. Black nails can only be used in temporary structures as they are oxidized even by prolonged contact with the air, and hence – rust.

For interior use electro-galvanized nails.

Industrial nails are marked with two numbers. First – the diameter of the nail shaft, and the second – the length in mm. Nail-head can be smooth or grooved. Nails with a notch at a short distance from the cap provide a more reliable connection parts than smooth.
