Our stainless steel nails come in either A2 (304) or A4 (316) grade which refers to the level of corrosion resistance that the finish provides. A4 grade offers a higher corrosion resistance and is advised to be used in particularly damp areas like coastal regions. If your stainless steel nails will be used more towards the inland, then we advise purchasing A2 grade nails. You will find A4 stainless steel nail alternatives in our standard annular ring nail range – they are currently unavailable in the lost head variations. Paslode manufactures their brads with strict quality control systems. This is to ensure the highest quality standards are always maintained.

Firstly, it is important to clarify what is meant by “lost head nails”. It would seem obvious that this would mean that the nail does not have a head, which is correct for most lost head nails. It actually refers to the purpose of the nail rather than the appearance. They are called “lost heads” because when hammered into the wood, the head gets “lost” and so they should not be visible to the naked eye. This is very important if you want to maintain a wooden look with your cladding.

Not ideally suited for beading due to the larger head size.
