Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Steel |
| Treatment | Galvanised |
| Profile | Straight collated strip |
| Gauge | 1.60 mm |
| Lengths | 32 mm, 38 mm, 45 mm |

What it's used for
- Fixing architraves and skirting boards to studwork and masonry backgrounds
- Securing door linings and frames during installation
- Attaching timber mouldings in interior and exterior joinery
- General first and second fix carpentry where a neat, consistent nail finish is required
Fitting and handling
Load the straight collated strip into a compatible gas-free brad nailer according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the magazine feed is clear before firing. The galvanised finish provides corrosion resistance, making these nails suitable for use in damp or exposed conditions, though for fully outdoor structural applications always check your project's fixing specification. Store unused nails in a dry location to prevent any moisture build-up in the collation adhesive, and keep the box sealed until needed on site.
FAQ
What size brad nails should I use for skirting boards and architraves?
For skirting boards and architraves up to around 18 mm thick, the 32 mm or 38 mm brad nails are generally sufficient to reach the substrate beneath. For thicker profiles or where additional pull-out strength is needed, the 45 mm length gives extra penetration into the backing timber or studwork.
Are these brad nails suitable for exterior joinery?
Yes. The galvanised coating provides corrosion resistance that makes them appropriate for exterior joinery such as door frames and external mouldings. They are not intended as a structural fixing, so always follow the relevant fixing schedule for your project.
Do I need a gas cartridge to use these nails?
No. These nails are specifically manufactured for gas-free brad nailers, which operate on compressed air or battery-powered mechanisms without requiring a gas cartridge. This keeps ongoing running costs lower and removes the need to carry gas fuel cells on site.
These brad nails pair well with the skirting boards, architraves, and mouldings available in our skirting and architraves collection. Nottage Timber Merchants offers next-day delivery to the Bridgend area and across South Wales, so you can keep your project moving without delay.
