What Are 1″ Power Felt Nails

Definition and Function

Felt nails are specialized fasteners used to secure soft, flexible materials such as roofing felt, underlay, insulation sheets, and damp-proof membranes to timber or similar structures. The 1″ Power Felt Nails feature a 12 BWG thickness, making them short yet strong enough to hold materials without bending or damaging them. Their wide flat heads distribute pressure evenly, preventing tearing and ensuring a secure installation.
