Steel Nails
Common nails, wire nails, roofing nails and galvanized nails in all sizes for construction and carpentry.
Steel Nails and Galvanized Nails Manufacturer and Supplier for the Middle East
Steel nails are among the highest-volume fasteners used in construction, woodworking and manufacturing. Tianjin Sino East Steel Group manufactures galvanized nails, electro-galvanized nails, headless nails and small-head nails in ASTM A153 and ISO 1051 compliant specifications, supplying hardware distributors, construction companies and industrial buyers across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait.
What Steel Nail Products Do We Supply?
Steel nails are produced by cold heading steel wire into the required shape - with or without a head - and then finishing the surface through galvanizing, polishing or coating. The main product types are: common nails (with large flat head), finishing nails (small head for trim), headless nails (pins), box nails, roofing nails and upholstery nails. Nails are available in bright (uncoated), electro-galvanized, hot-dip galvanized, phosphated or zinc-plated finishes.
For the GCC market, galvanized nails are the standard for exterior and marine applications because the zinc coating prevents rust in humid coastal conditions. Electro-galvanized nails offer a smooth bright finish for interior use, while hot-dip galvanized nails provide maximum protection for roofing and exterior framing.
