What is Round Wire Nails

 

 

Round wire nails, also known as round head nails, are a common type of nail used in woodworking and joinery applications. While appearance is not their primary concern, they excel in terms of strength.
Round Wire Nails are round plain nails for general purpose use. Probably the most popular nails in the UK, round nails are suitable for a variety of applications including roof rafters, floor joists, wall partitions, stud-work and heavy duty fencing. nails have no surface treatment, so where the nails will be exposed to the environment, our galvanised round wire nails maybe the preferred solution.
General use with full round head for clamping. Manufactured from A2 Stainless Steel offering superior corrosion resistance, perfect for external applications. Stainless steel must be used where there is corrosive environment and/or the base material has inherent corrosive characteristics.

 

 
Advantages of Round Wire Nails
 
01/

Corrosion Resistance
The most significant distinction between the two types of nails lies in their corrosion resistance. Galvanised nails, thanks to their zinc coating, are highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making them an ideal choice for outdoor projects, such as fencing, decking, and siding. Bright round wire nails, being untreated, are more prone to rust and should be used primarily for indoor applications like furniture assembly and trim work.

02/

Durability
Galvanised nails offer greater durability due to their protective coating. They are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to chemicals better than bright round wire nails. On the other hand, bright round wire nails are suitable for lighter applications, where extreme durability may not be necessary.

03/

Aesthetics
The appearance of the two nails differs significantly. Galvanised nails have a dull, matte finish due to their zinc coating, while bright round wire nails have a shiny, polished look. This difference may influence your choice depending on the visibility of the nails in the project.

04/

Secure Hold
The larger, rounded head design of these nails provides a secure hold when suspending items. This helps prevent shifting or falling, ensuring that the hung objects remain in place.

05/

Easy Installation
Round head hanging nails are easy to install. Their pointed tips allow for quick insertion into walls or other surfaces without the need for pre-drilling. This saves time and effort during the installation process.

06/

Versatility
These nails are versatile and can be used for a wide range of hanging applications. Whether it's hanging picture frames, shelves, decorations, or organizing accessories, round head hanging nails provide a reliable solution.

 

Types of Round Wire Nails
 
 

Casing Nails
Casing NailCasing nails are similar to oval head nails, with the exception being that the head of the nail is tapered, not stepped. This allows for the wood to be taken off of the nail with minimal damage at a later point in time.

 
 

Box Nails
Box nails are similar to round head nails, but they're a lot thinner.
This smaller nail can be driven into smaller pieces of wood or minimally exposed pieces of wood. Box nails are less likely to split wood and are typically used to fasten small boxes together.

 
 

Tacks
A tack is another type of nail. The thumb tack is a variation of a tack. It's a short and stubby nail that is used primarily for fastening carpet or fabric onto wood, as well as posting paper to a corkboard.
It is easy to overlook the tack as a nail, but it follows the same form and function as any other such fastener. It is definitely the most common nail used by everyday people.

 
 

Brads
Brads are small nails with the head off-centered, allowing the nail body to be driven closer to the face of the wood.
Since they feature a smaller head and smaller diameter of the body, they are easily hidden in your woodworking project. They are most typically seen in indoor woodworking or cabinetry.

 
 

Hardboard Nails
Hardboard nails have a diamond geometry on their head which allows them to be hidden well when driven into hardboard – an engineered wood product.

 
 

Duplex Nails
Duplex NailDuplex nails are interesting nails that have a second head that is a short distance below the primary head, affixed in the shaft. This engineering allows the nail to be removed easily by prying on the exposed head.
The addition of the second head makes sure that the nail is seated snug. At the same time, it makes the design such that it is easy to remove. Because of that, duplex nails are most commonly used in temporary structures, specifically designed for applications in which both strength, as well as the ability to remove the nail easily, is important.

 

 

Clipped Head And Round Head Nailers a Difference Between The Two
 

The big difference between clipped head and round head nailers is that a clipped head nailer can hold about 20-30% more nails in the same magazine size than a round head nailer.

 

This is due to the way that the nails are strung together, or 'collated'. When clipped head nails are collated, the flat ends of the heads butt right up next to each other, drastically decreasing the space between two nails, and thus increasing the amount of nails you can fit into the nailing gun's magazine.

 

Round head nails take up more space than clipped head, because the heads do not line up flush with one another when they're collated - you have a full head's width between each nail.

 

Being that clipped heads can pack together more tightly, the magazine on clipped head nailers is typically shorter than those of round head nailers. This is a big perk to some users, as it allows for a little less weight and more maneuverability in tight or hard to reach spaces.

 

On the contrary, round head nailers have a longer, heavier magazine, which some other users feel is an advantage as it provides more balance to the gun.

 

Wire Nails

 

Application of Round Wire Nails

Indoor Applications: Bright round wire nails are ideal for indoor projects, such as furniture assembly, cabinetry, and trim work, where exposure to moisture is minimal.

Decorative Projects: When the appearance of the nail is important, such as in crafts or decorative woodwork, the bright and shiny finish of these nails can add a pleasing aesthetic touch.
Construction: Round wire nails are versatile and suitable for various construction tasks.

Timber Framing: They are commonly used for roof rafters, floor joists, wall partitions, and stud work.

Fencing: Round wire nails are also ideal for heavy-duty fencing projects.

 

Grip better than Round Wire Nails for a bunch of reasons

When you bang in a nail you push the fibers of wood down. After nailing, in order for the nail to pop out the nail has to overcome the force of thousands of wood fibers acting like little barbs that grip the nail. Round Wire Nails are round and only taper at the tip, so the wood fibers along the shaft of the nail are only bent a little. With cut nails, which are tapered throughout their length, the taper increases as the nail goes deeper so more and more wood is bent away with increasing force resisting pullout.

More wedging action all around also mean more forces that can split the wood. When you hammer in a wire nail the pointed tip wedges the wood in all directions. A large wire nail will have more force holding it in than a small wire nail, but also more force trying to split the wood. Cut nails are only tapered in one dimension and when installed properly with the wedge parallel to the grain of the wood, the taper of the nail is with the grain so it doesn't force a split, and the parallel sides of the nail won't cause a wedging action that would split the wood. So, for a given size and length of nail you get a lot lot more holding power with a cut nail.
Why Cut Nails Are Better 53 - The wedging action of a wire nail is fixed by the diameter of the point. Far more wedging action can be achieved in the continuous increasing taper of a cut nail. Some cut nails (boat nails) have a wider section in the middle so that the wood at the top of the nail can swell back around the nail for even more strength.

The square section of a cut nail resists attempts at twisting the wood which is easy to do with a round wire nail. This reduced movement helps keep the nailed structure stable.

A cut tail is tapered top to bottom so that the top piece being nailed down is held down by the taper of the nail and you don't need much of a nail head. This allows for a much smaller nail head that is easily set flush with the wood. With a wire nail, with less gripping force, the head is an important part of keeping the joint from separating with a more visible result.

While not related to holding power the tops of cut brads are smooth and don't deflect away from the hammer blow as much as the pinched top of a wire brad. So the cut nail is more reliably easily nailed in.

FAQ
 

Q: What are round nails used for?

A: Round head nails are often used for more general purposes and are the most widely accepted nail head type according to most building codes. With a full round head, it allows for an easier hammer contact however, they typically hold fewer nails in a strip.

Q: What are wire nails for?

A: Wire nails are mostly used for very rough and heavy duty woodwork. Manufacture of these nails starts with a coil of wire which is fed into a machine that cuts it into predetermined lengths. Once the wire is cut, the machine creates the nail's head and point after which it falls into a holding bin.

Q: What is the difference between a nail and a wire nail?

A: Today almost all nails are manufactured from wire, but the term "wire nail" has come to refer to smaller nails, often available in a wider, more precise range of gauges than is typical for larger common and finish nails.

Q: What is the difference between wire nails and masonry nails?

A: Concrete nails are short, heavy-duty fasteners that are driven into concrete or masonry with a hammer. To prevent rusting, concrete nails are coated with rubber or an aluminum alloy. Wire nails are made of low carbon steel wire rods,quenching treatment for their surface,and then be cut into nail shape.

Q: Are wire nails the same as brad nails?

A: Most brad nails are made from a very thin 18-gauge wire. Finishing nails typically range from 16 to 10-gauges and are much more robust than brad nails. Finishing nails also come in a wider variety of lengths than most brad nails do; some can be upwards of 3" in length.

Q: What did carpenters use before nails?

A: Wood joinery used methods still employed in timber framing and fine furniture making. Dovetails are only one such joint (mostly used for fine furniture). Another, cruder form in timber framing is the tree nail which is a peg driven into predrilled holes and often used where we would now employ nails or spikes.

Q: Are wire nails good for wood?

A: Wire nails are OK for carpentry, but they simply don't hold well enough for furniture. In this article you'll learn about all the different types and shapes of nails that are important for making furniture and how to apply them to your projects so the nails might actually outlast the wood surrounding them.

Q: What are wire nails used for?

A: Wire nails are mostly used for very rough and heavy duty woodwork. Manufacture of these nails starts with a coil of wire which is fed into a machine that cuts it into predetermined lengths. Once the wire is cut, the machine creates the nail's head and point after which it falls into a holding bin.

Q: Are cut nails better than wire nails?

A: Cut nails are tapered on two sides, so there is significant wedging power on two faces. They're not as strong as a four-sided nail, but are a heck of a lot stronger than round, wire nails, which have been around since the end of the 19th century and became standard sometime in the early 20th century.

Q: What are the best nails for framing?

A: Sinker nails are designed for framing and construction work. They are specially designed with a flattened head that can be easily driven into the surface without splitting the wood or damaging it. These nails are most commonly used in building houses and commercial buildings.

Q: What construction nails are strongest?

A: Depending on the actual application, nails should be galvanized or stainless steel. In some cases, copper nails can also be used, though they are not as strong as steel. Ceramic coated screws are also a good option depending on application.

Q: Why do contractors use nails instead of screws?

A: Nails are a favorite for large jobs in construction because they're cheaper than screws and offer shear strength - or the ability to withstand shear pressure, where two surfaces slide past each other. But screws offer superior tensile strength over nails.

Q: Do wire nails rust?

A: Steel wires are composed of many small parts, which can easily be exposed to the elements, accelerating their rusting process. This makes steel wires more prone to rust faster than iron nails, which have thicker surfaces and are better protected from the elements.

Q: What nail type is best?

A: If you have short palms and short fingers, it's best to opt for rounded oval and almond shapes. For longer palms and fingers, consider dramatic stiletto or coffin (or ballerina) shaped styles. Almond shaped nails tend to suit everyone.

Q: Can I use screws instead of nails for framing?

A: With many projects, you could use both framing nails nails and screws. However, factors such as tensile strength, shear resistance, holding power, and other building specifics might make all the difference when deciding on the best type of fastener for your construction project.

Q: What are the two most commonly used nails in home construction?

A: Nails with round heads are often for general-purpose fastening and construction. A round head allows good contact with the hammer but creates a rougher finish than other types. Flatheads are round and relatively large. They make driving the nail easier and reduce the risk of the work piece pulling through the head.

Q: What are wire nails made of?

A: Wire nails are one of the most popular and commonly used fasteners. They are used to fasten materials together. They are made from a metal wire that is either electroplated with zinc or galvanized to prevent rusting. They can also be made from different metals including stainless steel, aluminum, copper and brass.

Q: Which is stronger 16 gauge or 18 gauge nails?

A: 1.65mm thick, are bigger and holds stronger compared to 18 gauge nails. Ideal for heavier jobs, for example installing door frames or fitting exterior trim.. The head is slightly larger than the 16 gauge nail. This will allow for better holding if glue wasn't used.

Q: What are the thinnest nails?

A: Used for general repairs, trim/molding and picture framing, the 23-gauge Arrow Pin Nails are the thinnest and shortest (3/8" and 1/2") of all finishing nails. They do not have a nail head, so they leave a very small hole in the wood and therefore do not typically require putty.

Q: When did wire nails replace cut nails?

A: Even in the 1890s, the majority of builders still chose to use cut nails due to their extreme holding power. But by 1913 this all changed, and 90% of manufactured nails were wire nails, due to their cheap and entirely automated production. They were adapted to suit a wide range of purposes.
