Cut Flooring Nails
Cut flooring nails are a type of flooring nail that is made by shearing a steel rod into a wedge shape. This shape gives cut flooring nails a number of advantages over other types of flooring nails, including:
- Superior holding power: The wedge shape of cut flooring nails causes the wood fibers to split and grip the nail, providing a very strong hold.
- Reduced splitting: The wedge shape of cut flooring nails also helps to reduce the risk of splitting the wood when the nail is driven in.
- Increased durability: Cut flooring nails are typically made from high-quality steel and are coated with a zinc or galvanized finish, which makes them very durable and resistant to corrosion.
- Authentic appearance: Cut flooring nails have a unique appearance that is often desired for historic restoration projects.
Cut flooring nails are a good choice for a variety of flooring applications, particularly where a strong hold and durability are important. They are also a good choice for historic restoration projects where an authentic appearance is desired.
Cut flooring nails are typically used for:
- Installing hardwood flooring in high-traffic areas
- Installing engineered wood flooring in commercial applications
- Installing laminate flooring in humid or wet environments
- Installing subflooring in load-bearing applications
- Installing underlayment in soundproofing applications
- Installing other types of flooring materials, such as vinyl and tile, in areas where a strong hold and durability are important
