Flooring Nails

Whether you need hardwood flooring nails or masonry nails, we can help. We have a selection of nails designed to help you handle various flooring projects. 

Grip-Rite® Flooring Nails

Here are some of our best flooring fasteners. 

Flooring Nail

Specifically designed as wood flooring nails, these flooring nails use tempered, hardened steel to provide a durable and sturdy hold. Our flooring nails come in two main variations to meet differing project needs. The first uses a smooth shank with a countersunk head, offering frictionless installations with a surface flush finish. The second option has a spiral shank and flat head, which gives a superior material grip with reduced hammer slippage. 

Cut Flooring Nail

Secure your hardwood flooring with the cut flooring nails. Like the Grip-Rite® Flooring Nail, this nail uses a tempered steel construction for increased tensile strength. To further enhance grip, the nail uses a four-sided flat head. The blunt point and tapered shank ensure reduced wood splitting.

Cut Masonry Nail

Enjoy durable connections with our cut masonry nails. This steel nail is the best option when you need to join flooring boards to a concrete subfloor. Our masonry floor nails come in sizes ranging from 3d to 16d to accommodate varying floor requirements.

Underlayment Nail

Firmly install your protective flooring layer with our underlayment nail. These flat-head nails are ideal for joining plywood and composite underlayment to a wood subfloor. The ring shank offers maximum hold while the flat head gives you a smooth finish. 

Cleat Nail

Reduce squeaks with our flooring cleat nails. The L-shaped nails come with varying thicknesses to ensure adequate connections depending on board thickness. Both our 16-gauge and 18-gauge cleats require an L-shaped nailer for installation. Our engineering team designed the cleats with well-formed barbs for excellent flooring grip. As part of our collated products, these cleats carry our jam-free guarantee to offer uninterrupted installations.

Additional Flooring Fastener Solutions

Beyond our tough flooring nails, we also offer staples for those seeking nail alternatives. The Grip-Rite® Flooring Staples allow you to make tighter flooring connections. These 15 ½-gauge steel staples are electrogalvanized for rust-resistance and available in 1 ½ to 2-inch legs that bring increased pull-out resistance. Our staples are also an excellent choice for hardwood flooring.
