Nails and Prefab Steel Columns in Baja California

The nail is the cheapest material on site and the one that stops a crew most often. Every job asks for its own: formwork asks for duplex because it has to come apart, sheet metal asks for roofing because of the wide head, ceilings ask for plaster nails, concrete asks for hardened nails and weather exposure asks for galvanised. Using the wrong one does not always fail immediately, but it fails.

That is why we carry the full range: 1" to 1½", 2" to 5", 6" to 8", box, galvanised concrete, duplex, gun, plaster, galvanised reinforced, reinforced for concrete, roofing, threaded and sinker. Alongside them, prefabricated steel columns: ready-to-place cages that save on-site fabrication and standardise the reinforcement section in housing and light construction.

What this line includes

General construction nails

1" to 1½", 2" to 5" and 6" to 8", plus box and sinker for carpentry and light timber framing.

Specialised nails

Duplex for formwork, roofing for sheet and roof covering, plaster for ceilings, threaded for higher withdrawal resistance and gun nails for pneumatic tools.

Concrete and galvanised nails

Galvanised concrete nail, reinforced for concrete and galvanised reinforced, for fixing to hard substrates or under weather exposure.

Prefabricated columns

Ready-to-place steel cages that save fabrication and standardise the reinforcement section.

1" – 1½" Nail

2" – 5" Nail

6" – 8" Nail

Box Nail

Duplex Nail

Double head: it drives firmly and pulls out without destroying the timber. It is the nail that lets formwork be reused.

Typical applications

Formwork and stripping with duplex nails
Fixing sheet metal and roofing with roofing nails
Ceilings and gypsum elements with plaster nails
Fixing to concrete and masonry walls
Site carpentry and light timber framing
Production work with a pneumatic nailer
Confining columns in block walls
Standardised reinforcement in housing and light construction

Questions about nails and prefab columns

Duplex: it has a double head, so it drives firmly and pulls out without destroying the timber. It is what lets formwork be reused several times.

Galvanised nails carry a zinc coating and resist weather without rusting. Outdoors, on the coast and on roofs they are mandatory; in dry interiors plain nails will do.

They handle confinement well in housing and light construction. When the structural design calls for a specific section or arrangement, it is fabricated on site with rebar.
