Felt Nails

Felt nails are typically short, stubby nails with an extra large, flat head that are used to secure felt, sheeting materials and roof tiles or slates to the timber of the roof's structure.

The large, flat head serves a variety of purposes. Firstly, it seals the hole left behind when the nail punctures the material, preserving the weather-proofing of the roofing material. Secondly, it prevents the roofing material from tearing, pulling back through the nail or detaching from the roof structure, which is a risk in adverse weather conditions.

To guard against rust and corrosion, all of our felt nails are galvanised, ensuring the highest quality and the longest possible lifetime. At Mill Timber Direct, we know that you do not want to spend any more time than is absolutely necessary on your house, shed or garage roof, so our felt nails are specifically designed to provide the peace of mind necessary to install and leave.

Felt nails are a superb alternative to roofing staples, as they penetrate deeper into the roof structure, providing greater security and a more pleasing aesthetic. They are longer-lasting and are far less likely to require replacement. Although installation timescales may be slightly extended, balanced against the need to do the job more often, this makes them a wise investment.

At Mill Timber Direct, we stock only the highest quality felt nails which are available in 4 lengths. These are 13mm, 20mm, 25mm and 30mm. Our experts can help you to select the most appropriate length to suit your project and experience, and as with all of our products, our range of felt nails are offered to both trade and DIY customers.
