Product description
Lost head nails are a reliable option for when screws are not suitable due to flex and movement, but still want a sunken discreet look. They are approximately 1kg with 220 nails, and have a bright steel finish. People often mistake nails for being a worse option to a screw, but in some cases, nails are generally a better option. For example, on timber framed buildings and fascia boards where the wood is likely to move over time or grow due to the elements, nails are generally a better option as they can bend and take a very long time to shear, unlike screws when bent generally snaps.
A standard wire nail or round head has the ugly flat face look that just won't sink, which is where a Lost head nail comes in to its own due to the design of the head. It allows for a really minimal flush look by easily punching below the woods surface but keeping the bonus of the nails ability to move. This design of the head also reduces the chance of splitting.
Lost head nails have been the nail of choice for tradesmen when fixing fascias for decades. They leave a discreet finish, are stronger than wire nails and oval nails, and are a very cost-effective fixing that lasts for years. This makes them a great option for those who want a reliable and long-lasting solution for their fascias.
