Tactile 50mm Serrated Roofing Nails for Stone Coated Tiles

Tactile Roofing Nails

The Tactile 50mm Roofing Nails are engineered for high-performance fastening of stone-coated steel roofing tiles to timber battens. These fasteners provide the mechanical grip necessary to withstand extreme weather conditions while maintaining the structural integrity of the roofline. They are a staple for professional roofing contractors requiring reliable, corrosion-resistant fixings for residential and commercial developments.

Built for the Job

Roofing crews utilize these fasteners primarily for the side-nailing method common in stone-coated tile installation. Unlike standard smooth-shank nails, the serrated profile provides superior pull-out resistance, which is critical in regions prone to high wind speeds. The gauge of the steel is optimized to penetrate both the metal tile flange and the timber batten without bending or splitting the wood. Site supervisors prefer these for their consistent driveability and the security they offer against wind uplift.

• Securing stone-coated metal tiles to 2×2 or 3×2 inch timber battens.

• Fixing ridge caps and side flashings in specialized roofing systems.

• Installation of valley liners and barge boards where high-grip fasteners are required.

Product Highlights

Serrated Shank Design

Deep annular rings increase the surface area contact within the timber grain to prevent loosening over time.

Corrosion Protection

• Heavy-duty galvanization layer prevents oxidation in humid environments.
• Resists rust-streaking that can compromise the appearance of the finished roof.

What’s Included

• Tactile 50mm Serrated Roofing Nails (Bulk Pack / Weight-based)

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Always drive these fixings at a 90-degree angle to the batten face to maximize shear strength.

• Ensure the nail penetrates the vertical overlap of the tiles to maintain the water-tight integrity of the system.

• Store the containers in a dry, covered area on site to prevent moisture buildup within the packaging before use.

• Verify that the batten timber is of sufficient density to allow the serrated rings to bite effectively.
