Material Composition | Outdoor roofing in corrosive environments | Industry: Galvanized Steel (ASTM A153, 1000h salt spray resistance) Our Base: Iron (ASTM A36, 100h salt spray) Our Advanced: Galvanized Steel (ASTM A153) ▲▲ | Advanced matches industry standard with ▲▲ superior corrosion resistance. | Base lacks durability in harsh conditions (▼ 90% salt spray resistance vs Advanced). |
Shank Diameter | Securing thick roofing materials | Industry: 3.2–4.0mm (ISO 3801) Our Base: 3.5mm (ISO 3801) Our Advanced: 3.8mm (ISO 3801) ▲ | Advanced provides ▲ better hold in dense materials like hardwood. | Base is standard but may bend in heavy-duty applications. |
Shank Type | Preventing pull-out in softwood | Industry: Smooth Shank Our Base: Ring & Smooth (ASTM E4170: 30% higher grip) ▲ Our Advanced: Helical Shank (ASTM E4170: 50% higher grip) ▲▲ | Advanced offers ▲▲ best grip for demanding framing projects. | Industry standard risks slippage in soft or warped materials. |
Surface Treatment | Coastal or humid environments | Industry: Galvanized (ASTM A153) Our Base: Polished (no coating) ▼ Our Advanced: Galvanized (ASTM A153) ▲▲ | Advanced matches industry standard with ▲▲ rust-proofing. | Base prone to rust in wet conditions (▼ 90% corrosion resistance vs Advanced). |
Head Style | Securing curved or uneven tiles | Industry: Round Head Our Base: Staple Head (20% larger contact area, ISO 14577) ▲ Our Advanced: Staple Head + Chamfered Edges (25% less splitting) ▲ | Base provides ▲ better adhesion on uneven surfaces. | Industry standard may pop off curved tiles. |
Nail Length | Thick roofing materials | Industry: 45–55mm (ISO 3801) Our Base: 50mm (ISO 3801) Our Advanced: 55mm (ISO 3801) ▲ | Advanced accommodates ▲ thicker materials like slate or concrete tiles. | Base may be too short for double-layered roofing systems. |
