Flooring Nails: Concrete Flooring Nails
Concrete flooring nails are made with high carbon steel and hardened
for maximum hold in the hard concrete substrates. Concrete flooring
nails have been designed and tailored to the installer’s specific
needs for every type of flooring installation over concrete subfloors.
General Purpose Concrete Flooring Nails
General purpose concrete flooring nails are used for most flooring
installation applications. The 11/16 inch nail is the standard
nail used as a pre-nail in carpet strip. Shorter lengths are used
to install tap down style metal mouldings when the nail heads
will be covered by the carpet. Longer lengths are used to install
strip in special situations and are also used to temporarily hold
carpet in position while seaming or stretching. All 12 gauge concrete
flooring nails are also available with a rust resistant plated finish.

These extra heavy duty concrete flooring nails are used with very
hard concrete that will not take a normal concrete flooring nail.
They are slightly larger in diameter than a 1/8 inch drilled hole
and are often used instead of aluminum drives or fluted concrete
flooring nails. Nails over one inch long are used as stay nails.
All Extra Heavy Duty Concrete Flooring Nails are plated for cleanliness
and rust prevention.
