When customers inquire about the topic of installing colored stone metal tiles and what type of nails to use for the installation, Shandong Earth Village is here to provide an analysis and answer:
The installation framework for colored stone metal tiles is generally divided into wooden battens and stainless steel pipe battens, so the type of nails used during installation is also different.
When using a wooden structure, steel nails are used. When using a stainless steel pipe structure, it is necessary to use specialized nails for colored stone metal tiles, known as “swallowtail screws” or “self-drilling screws.” In the northern regions, they are also referred to as “swallowtail screws.”
The tail of the self-drilling screw is in the shape of a drill bit or a pointed tail, eliminating the need for additional processing. It can be directly drilled into the setting material and base material, creating threads and securely fastening, significantly saving construction time. Compared to ordinary screws, it has high tensile strength and durability, and even after extended use, it does not loosen. The process of drilling and threading is completed in a single operation, making it simple to use.
Purchasing these nails is also very convenient and can be done through two main channels. First, when procuring our colored stone metal tiles, you can place an order directly through us. Second, you can purchase them directly from local hardware markets.
