Our Premium Siding Nails

We offer two main categories of siding nails, depending on your project’s scope and the tools available.

Hand-Drive Nails

Hand-drive nails are essential to every construction project. Their diamond point design ensures they can penetrate the siding without splitting it, while their long shank enhances their holding strength. With our vast catalog, you will surely find the perfect hand-drive nails for your siding. Some of our favorites include:

• Oval head siding nail: With its smooth shank, oval head and thickness of 12 gauge, the oval head siding nail is perfect for blind nailing. We offer a minimum length of 2 inches to ensure you have enough nail to easily join pieces.
• Wood and hardboard siding nail: This nail’s thin and spiral shank provides excellent holding power on various kinds of wood. Its hot galvanized coating protects the nail from rusting, giving you a nail you can use in a wide range of climates.

Best Practices for Siding Installation 

If you want a siding that will stand the test of time, here are some installation tips to follow:

• Direction: Drive the nail straight into the siding.
• Spacing: A good nailing practice is to drive the nail head flush or slightly countersunk with the siding.
• Penetration: Ensure the nails penetrate at least 1 1/4 inches into the sheathing or framing.
• Leave gaps: Since siding is subject to expansion and contraction, leave a minimum gap of ¼ inch at openings and stops. Remember to increase the gap size if you are in warmer areas to account for more expansion.
