It is often required to carry out hidden fastening of elements during repair or finishing work . Those. so that the connection of parts is not noticeable. In this case, use a nail finish. According to its design features, it allows you to get the desired effect.
Finishing nail has a specific purpose. It can be used only when carrying out finishing work, and it is not suitable for complete construction. The range of application of this fastener is not as large as that of a conventional
building nail.In the production of this type of fasteners use steel low-carbon wire. It is processed using the technology of cold forming in nailing machines. Also in the manufacturing process, the fasteners can be coated. This improves the performance of fasteners. Depending on the coating used, there are several types of nails for finishing.
- Without cover. The easiest option. Such nails have lower strength characteristics and are more susceptible to corrosion. They are usually used for interior decoration of rooms with low humidity.
- Galvanized. The color is silver. This type of nails is best suited for use in rooms with low humidity. Such finishing nails for lining usually find their application in the interior decoration of rooms.
- Copper coated. The color is reddish. This type of fastener tolerates the effects of high humidity. The following two types of nails have the same properties. They can be used in the bathhouse, dressing room or on the balcony. They are also often used as finishing nails for platbands, for exterior decoration of doors and windows.
- Chrome plated. The color is silver.
- Brassed. The color is yellowish.
The length of such nails is usually small - from 20 to 100 mm. But the latter are not common, as decorative materials of such thickness are very rare. Nails are made of thin wire. This is due to the small diameter of the rod. Its values range 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 nail after finishing 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 shaft. Its diameter varies in the range from 2.2 to 4.2 mm. The height of the cap coincides with the diameter of the rod.
Finishing nail is a fixture for decorative finishing. Its main purpose is the hidden fastening of materials. But many, using such products, make a mistake by 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 hammered at an angle to the center of the groove. This approach allows you to hide the junction and not spoil the decorative coating during installation work.
