Galvanized Clout Nails For Roofing Felt
Material: Steel, grade as agreed
Head: Wide, flat, round head
Shank: Smooth shank
Finish: Galvanized, coating as specified
Supply: Loose nails; dimensions and packing confirmed by quotation
Clout Nails for Roofing Felt and Soft Sheet Materials
A clout nail is easy to recognise by its broad, flat head. That head spreads the load over the material being fixed, giving it more bearing area than a small-headed nail. It is a familiar choice for roofing felt on timber, provided the felt manufacturer allows this type of fixing.
Promisteel supplies loose steel clout nails for roofing-material distributors, hardware wholesalers and trade buyers. When matching an existing product, the head deserves as much attention as the length. Two packs marked with the same nail length may contain nails with noticeably different head diameters.
Flat Head Clout Nails, Without a Separate Cap
The nails shown here have a flat round head formed as part of the nail. They do not have a separate plastic cap or metal washer. Some buyers call them felt nails or roof felt tacks, although "roofing felt nails" can also refer to cap nails in other markets.
For a replacement order, a close-up photograph of the head and shank helps identify which version is needed.

Choosing the Length, Head Diameter and Finish
Length and timber penetration
Buying 20mm, 30mm or 50mm clout nails starts with the material underneath the felt. The nail must pass through the covering and engage the timber to the depth required by the roof detail. On a thin deck, extra length may simply leave the point projecting below it. Send the deck thickness with your requested size.
Head diameter
Look at the head when comparing samples. A larger head covers more of the felt, but "large head" and "extra-large head" are not measurements. Record the diameter you need, especially when replacing a product your customers already use.
Galvanized finish
A bright surface alone tells you little about the coating specification. For an exposed roof, the finish needs to suit the moisture and corrosion conditions. If a project names a coating process or test requirement, include it with the enquiry so the price covers that requirement.
Using Clout Nails with Roofing Felt
Clout nails are used for suitable shed felt and other soft sheet materials on timber. The roofing material's instructions determine whether this fixing is appropriate, how closely the nails are spaced and where they go at overlaps and edges.
Before installation:
- ✓ Check that a flat head nail is permitted for the covering.
- ✓ Check the timber deck and required penetration.
- ✓ Follow the fixing pattern and overlap detail.
- ✓ Avoid driving the head through or tearing the felt.
If the instructions call for a cap nail, use that type. An ordinary clout nail does not provide the same bearing area as a separate cap. For a different roof covering, browse our roofing nails range to compare the head and shank options.
Packing and Inspection for Wholesale Supply
Tell us how the nails will be sold: small retail packs, trade packs or loose bulk cartons. Include the weight or count for each pack and any label or carton-marking requirements. For private-label enquiries, send the proposed artwork with the packing details.
Batch inspection should cover more than surface appearance. Length, shank diameter, head diameter, point formation and pack quantity all belong on the inspection list. Any specified coating tests or certificates should be tied to the product being ordered.
Request a Galvanized Clout Nail Quotation
Send the nail length, shank and head diameters, finish, packing, order quantity and destination port to Promisteel. A sample or drawing is useful when the order must match an existing local-market item.

Clout Nails and Roofing Felt Nails FAQ
Are clout nails and roofing felt nails the same?
Sometimes the names describe the same nail. Clout refers to the wide flat head; roofing felt describes the application. Check the product photograph because felt fixings may also include cap nails.
Do I need 20mm, 30mm or 50mm clout nails?
The felt build-up and timber deck determine the required length. Use the roofing manufacturer's penetration requirement rather than choosing by length alone. Ask us to check availability for the size you need.
Can these nails replace plastic cap nails?
Not where the installation instructions specifically require a cap. The separate cap spreads the load over a different area of the covering.
Are galvanized clout nails suitable for outdoor use?
They can be, with the appropriate coating and roof detail. Damp or corrosive exposure needs particular attention when selecting the finish.
Can I order retail packs or bulk cartons?
Both formats can be discussed with the enquiry. We will check the requested pack size, markings and quantity before quoting the packing arrangement.
What details are needed for a clout nail quotation?
Length, shank diameter, head diameter, finish, packing and quantity are the starting points. Add the destination port and any drawing, material or inspection requirement that affects the order.
