Applications and Selection

These nails are suitable for mouldings, cabinets, furniture, flooring details and interior carpentry where a discreet fastening point is preferred. Select length and diameter according to the timber density, penetration depth and joint load. Polished nails suit dry interiors, while galvanized finishes provide additional corrosion protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between lost head and oval wire nails?

Lost head nails have a small drum-shaped head intended to be punched below the surface; oval wire nails are oval in cross-section to reduce splitting. Both are finish nails used in carpentry.

Do lost head nails need pre-drilling?

For hardwood and thin trim, pre-drilling reduces splitting. Our technical team can recommend sizes and provide a nail specification sheet for your order.

What sizes and materials are available?

Lost head nails range from 10-80 mm in length and 1.0-3.5 mm in diameter, in Q195 or Q235 carbon steel, with polished, electro-galvanized or hot-dip galvanized finishes.

Where are lost head nails typically used?

Mouldings, cabinets, furniture, flooring details and interior carpentry where a discreet fastening point is preferred, with the small head driven below or close to the timber surface.
