Plastic capped nails feature a durable plastic cap that is designed to protect the surface of the material being nailed. This makes them ideal for use in applications where the appearance of the finished product is important, such as in roofing or when securing materials like house wrap, insulation, or tar paper. The plastic cap is typically larger than the nail head, providing a greater surface area that helps distribute the holding force more evenly and reduces the risk of tearing or damaging the material. Additionally, the plastic caps come in various colors, allowing for aesthetic matching with the material they are fastened to. These nails are also resistant to corrosion and can provide a long-lasting, secure hold.
Plastic capped nails are widely used in a variety of applications where both functionality and aesthetics are important. Common applications include:
Roofing: They are frequently used to secure roofing underlayment, such as felt paper or synthetic underlayment, to the roof deck. The plastic caps help prevent damage to the underlayment and ensure a watertight seal.
House Wrap and Weather Barriers: In construction, plastic capped nails are used to attach house wrap, which is a protective barrier that prevents air and moisture from entering the building while allowing water vapor to escape.
Insulation: These nails are also used to fasten insulation boards, such as foam board, to walls or ceilings. The plastic caps help distribute the pressure evenly, preventing the insulation from being damaged.
Tar Paper and Felt: In flooring and other applications, plastic capped nails can be used to secure tar paper or felt, providing a secure and visually appealing finish.
Siding and Trim: For certain types of siding and trim, plastic capped nails can be used to provide a clean, professional look while ensuring the materials are securely fastened.
Signage and Banners: They can be used to hang signs and banners, especially in outdoor settings, where the plastic cap helps protect the material from tearing and provides a more finished appearance.
Temporary Fastening: In situations where temporary fastening is needed, plastic capped nails can be used to secure materials without causing permanent damage, making them easy to remove later if necessary.
