Galvanized roofing nails, also called as clout nails feature disproportionately large flat or umbrella shaped heads and short shaft, sometimes with rubber, plastic or metal washer to prevent water leaking. The diamond points of nails are sharp enough for penetrating the wood without any damages. Meanwhile, the roofing nails are electro or hot dipped galvanized - that is, coated with zinc to avoid rust.

As its name suggests, roofing nails are designed for roof installation, for example:

• Fasten asphalt shingles, felt paper, insulation board or metal sheet.
• Install roofing felt for waterproofing.
• Attach roof tiles.
• Hold fiber board in position.

Ring shank roofing nails, with boarder head than standard nails, are suitable for fastening shingles and asphalt roofing felts in areas with adverse weather conditions.

Spiral shank roofing nails are twist for holding wood and pallets in position without slipping. Even though in bad weather, the nail secures the roof firmly so there is no need of caring about roof cracking anymore! With sharper point than other roofing nails, this one is driven into the roof materials easily without splitting.
