Dry wall nail is a type of nail specifically used to fix lightweight boards such as gypsum board. The following is a description of it:
Appearance features
• Head: Typically designed as a horn or countersunk head. The head of the horn head drywall nail is relatively large and trumpet shaped, providing a large support area to prevent the nail head from sinking into the surface of the board; The head of the countersunk drywall nail is flush with the surface of the board, making the installed surface relatively flat, suitable for occasions with high requirements for surface flatness.
Nail body: Generally a smooth rod, some dry wall nails have spiral grooves or rolling patterns on the nail body, which can increase the friction with the board and improve the fixing effect. The diameter of the nail body is relatively thin, commonly available in sizes such as 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, etc., to adapt to the characteristics of lightweight boards and avoid cracking of the board due to the nail body being too thick.
Nail tip: Dry wall nail tips are relatively sharp, self drilling or fast drilling, and can easily penetrate gypsum boards and other boards without the need for pre drilling, improving installation efficiency.
Material characteristics
Generally, carbon steel material is used, which undergoes heat treatment and surface treatment processes to improve the hardness and rust resistance of nails. Common surface treatments include galvanizing, nickel plating, etc., which can effectively prevent nails from rusting and extend their service life.
Specification and size
There are various length specifications, commonly including 16mm, 25mm, 32mm, 38mm, 50mm, etc. Shorter drywall nails are suitable for thinner gypsum boards or fixed on light steel joists, while longer drywall nails can be used for thicker boards or fixed on wooden joists.
Functional advantages
Efficient installation: The sharp nail tips and self drilling design enable it to quickly drill into the board, resulting in fast installation speed and improved construction efficiency.
• Secure fixation: The good fit between the nail body and the board, as well as the appropriate length and diameter, can provide reliable fixation for lightweight boards such as gypsum board, ensuring that the board will not loosen or fall off during use.
Surface aesthetics: The horn or countersunk design can keep the nail head flat or slightly lower than the surface of the board, without affecting the decorative effect, making it easy for subsequent processes such as putty scraping and painting.
Application scenarios
Mainly used in gypsum board partition walls, ceilings and other projects in building decoration, it can also be used to fix other lightweight boards such as fiberboard, particleboard, etc. It has a wide range of applications in home decoration and commercial building decoration.
