Bright nails

Bright nails are commonly used for interior timber work, framing, and temporary structures where corrosion resistance isn’t important. They're suited to dry environments and general joinery tasks. Because they lack a protective coating, bright nails are not ideal for exterior or damp conditions. You'll typically use them in jobs where nails will later be concealed or removed.

This category includes a variety of bright nail sizes and shank types, from smooth to ring-shanked, depending on the holding strength required. They differ from galvanised or stainless options by offering a bare steel finish, which can be easier to drive and better for precision work. Bright nails are widely used in workshop settings, roof truss assembly, subfloor installation, and internal stud walls.
