Very often it is required during repair or finishing work to perform hidden fastening of elements. Those. so that the connection of parts is not noticeable. In this case, a finishing nail is used. According to its design features, it allows you to get the desired effect.
The finishing nail has a specific purpose. It can only be used when carrying out finishing work, and it is not suitable for full-fledged construction. The range of application of this fastener is not as wide as that of a conventional building nail.
In the production of this type of fasteners, low-carbon steel wire is used. It is processed according to the technology of volumetric cold stamping on nailing machines. Also, during the manufacturing process, fasteners can be treated with a coating. This allows you to improve the performance of fasteners. Depending on the coating used, there are several types of finishing nails.
- Uncoated. The easiest option. Such nails have lower strengthcharacteristics and are more prone to corrosion. They are usually used for interior decoration of rooms with low humidity.
- Galvanized. Color - silver. This type of nails is best suited for use in areas with low humidity. Such finishing nails for lining usually find their application in the interior decoration of rooms.
- Copper-plated. Color - reddish. This type of fastener tolerates exposure to high humidity. The following two types of nails have the same properties. They can be used in the bath, dressing room or on the balcony. They are also often used as finishing nails for trim, exterior doors and windows.
- Chrome plated. Color - silver.
- Brass-plated. Color - yellowish.
The length of such nails is usually small - from 20 to 100 mm. But the latter are not common, since decorative materials of this thickness come across very rarely. Nails are made from thin wire. This is also due to the small diameter of the rod. Its values vary from 1.2 to 3.8 mm. This indicator depends on the length of the fastener. The smaller it is, the thinner the rod. Since the finishing nail after hammering should be buried in the material, this makes its own adjustments to its design features. And that goes for the hat. It is slightly wider than the stem. Its diameter varies from 2.2 to 4.2 mm. In this case, the height of the cap coincides with the diameter of the rod.
Finishing nail- This is a decorative fastener. Its main purpose is the hidden fastening of materials. But many, using such products, make the mistake of driving a nail into the center of the decorative coating. Such installation leads to a violation of the aesthetic appearance of the material. Finishing nails should be driven at an angle into the center of the groove. This approach allows you to hide the junction and not spoil the decorative coating during installation work.
