Stainless Steel Nails

Stainless steel nails are corrosion-resistant fasteners for exterior, marine and treated-timber applications. Kin Metal manufactures stainless steel nails in 201, 304 and 316 grades, 10-250 mm lengths and 1.0-5.6 mm diameters, in common, roofing, screw, lost head and ring shank styles.
When to Use Stainless Steel Nails
Stainless nails are specified where rust would stain or weaken the joint: coastal construction, boat building, decking, fencing, greenhouses, kitchens and bathrooms. Grade 304 is the general-purpose marine-grade option; grade 316 adds molybdenum for higher chloride resistance in saltwater and harsh chemical environments.
Grades and Certification
We supply stainless nails with material certificates on request, and can provide EN 14592 or ASTM F1667 aligned products for European and North American projects. Finishes include bright, and all common head and shank styles are available.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel nails?

316 contains molybdenum, giving better resistance to chlorides and saltwater. 304 is suitable for most outdoor and freshwater uses and is more economical. See our 304 vs 316 guide .

Are stainless steel nails stronger than galvanized nails?

Stainless nails offer superior corrosion resistance but are more expensive than galvanized nails. Choose galvanized for budget exterior projects and stainless where long-term rust resistance is critical.
