Nails are essential in the construction of almost every structure made of wood. But in some cases spoil appearance structure is not desirable. It is in this situation that finishing nails with a small diameter cap are used.

General description and types of nails

Finishing nails are fasteners that have a small cylindrical head instead of a wide head. Due to this, they practically do not damage the surface of the finishing material and are invisible even if they are not hidden after work.

Depending on the coating, the products are divided into several types:


When hammered into wood, these fasteners are completely immersed in the tree and become invisible. If necessary, you can close them with a composition that resembles a tree in color.

Minimum length finishing nails is approximately 35 mm. If desired, you can purchase fasteners up to 100 mm long. The heads of such products are not much wider than the rod, so after drowning them in a tree fastener practically invisible.

Application area

The described products are used during the following works:

  • lining fastening;
  • fixing platbands;
  • parquet laying;
  • fixing thin rails;
  • staple fastening.

The main advantage of such products is that they are invisible on the surface of the tree. The disadvantages include the lower strength of the connection than when using standard fasteners.

Features of installation with finishing nails

Using finishing nails does not cause any difficulties even for an inexperienced person. This is due to the fact that a light hammer is used to secure the materials, and driving is done with almost no effort.

Before starting work on fixing platbands or other finishing nails, the following features of the process must be taken into account:


How to hide hats

Despite the small diameter of the caps, the finishing nails can be quite noticeable if they are located at eye level. To completely hide fasteners, you can use:


In most cases, it is enough just to drown the hat deeper in the material so that it is not noticeable.

Various ways to use nails

Finishing nails are hammered in several ways, depending on the type of material to be fixed and its location. If, for example, the lining is fixed, the products are clogged so that they are not visible. This is possible due to the structure of the finishing material. Finishing nails are hammered at an angle of 45 degrees into the groove, which is then hidden by the protrusion of the next trim element.

If consolidation occurs door slopes, products are driven into the edge of the finishing material or into a recess, if it has one. In most cases, the nails are not visible, even if they are hammered without a hammer. But it is better to use this tool so that the heads of the fasteners are completely immersed in the material.

When fixing on the parquet floor, the finishing nails are hammered into the groove, so they are not visible after the work done. It is necessary to hide these fastening materials only when fixing the rails on wooden frames or during the finishing of doorways.

How to determine the required length

When choosing finishing nails, it is worth considering not only that the fasteners are invisible, but also about their reliability. If they are not long enough, they may not support the weight of the finishing material.

The length of the fastener must be twice the width of the material to be nailed. If it is less, the trim element will not be securely fastened. If nails are needed to assemble furniture, as a rule, products with a length of no more than 3 cm are purchased. Usually, these fasteners are included in the kit.

How to hammer nails

To securely fix the material and at the same time not spoil it, you can use not only a hammer, but also a drill. When hammering a nail on some finishing materials there is swelling of the surface around the fastener. To avoid this, you can use an electric drill.

Hats

From the book Women of Victorian England. From ideal to vice author Coty Katherine

Hats Etiquette forbade appearing on the street without a hat, and they were elevated to the rank of art. Throughout the 19th century, turbans, bonnets, hats with huge brim and feathers, or small and inconspicuous hats, kept on the head solely by the power of thought and

The hammer hit the Nail hard, and the hat flew off.

Oh-oh! shouted the Nail. - What a disgrace - to knock down hats, and even without asking! It's your luck that I'm not some kind of pushpin, for which a hat is more valuable than a head!

But no one listened to him. Such nails are usually thrown away, and it was thrown away.

Luckily, he fell into a toolbox as big as a city.

At first, the Nail without a hat lay motionless, getting used to it, and then looked around.

Sorry, where did I go? he politely asked the brilliant Screw.

He looked at the visitor in surprise.

Wow! he exclaimed. - There's a new one here!

And since the stranger was without a hat, Screw did not understand that it was a nail, and asked:

And who are you?

I am the Nail!

Without a hat? - Laughed lying next to the Nail with a hat.

Now it's so fashionable to walk.

It may be fashionable to walk, but not to work!

In this toolbox-city, everyone worked. One by one they left him, leaving for work, pliers and pliers, hammers and chisels, nails and screws.

A nail without a cap turned out to be completely unnecessary. He was always pushed aside in annoyance when they were looking for something they needed.

The city laughed at him. Still, the only loafer.

Disabled person! Cripple! Freak!

Not everyone, of course, offended him. But in any case, no one was going to help him in any way. Only File, whom everyone considered rude, cruel, took pity on him.

Or maybe trim you, sharpen you properly? he once thought. - And then you're kind of not too witty and boring.

And, without hesitation, he polished and smoothly sharpened the Nail without a cap.

Maybe now you can do something! .. Aty - a hammer! - Filer praised him. - He held himself with dignity, not very squeaked.

Who-who? - his neighbor Hammer was offended. - Found with whom to compare me! - And he grumbled: - Do not compete with me with his nose. He is the same Hammer as I am - an awl.

And you're a hammer," Filer praised him.

I know without you!

You are a hammer, not because your name is Hammer, but because you are a good fellow. You found something for him to do by his nose. You'll see for yourself!

Indeed, the unrecognizable Nail without a hat soon fell under the arm of the master. They turned it this way and that, examined it ... They planted it on wooden handle, and it turned out an excellent sharp Shilo.

What did I say? - Filer triumphed. - He was considered useless early. As the saying goes, you can't hide an awl in a bag.

We have a box, not a sack, - said the Nail with a hat enviously. After all, there were many like him, but Shilo was one.

Well, let there be a box, - generously agreed File, who liked to joke. - However, he did not play the box!

Well done, - the important Hammer reservedly praised the new Shilo. And he did not forget himself: - It was I who came up with a business for him!

A nail is an indispensable fastener, logically designed for fixing various materials. The popularity of nails ensures their ease of use combined with practical functionality.

Hammering nails, we very rarely think about the fact that for some reason they will have to be pulled out. However, such a need still arises from time to time. Pulling out nails and the process itself is quite time consuming, and if the hat has fallen off the nail, the task is seriously complicated.

If the nail protrudes slightly above the surface and the hat is intact, there will be no particular problem, only a nail puller is required, designed specifically for pulling out. However, if there is no hat, there is nothing for the nail puller to catch on, it turns out to be useless.

The first, fairly simple way to pull out a nail without a hat is to use side cutters. In order not to damage the surface, you can put a piece of tin from below. You can also place a wooden support between the wire cutters and the part. The main thing is to firmly grab the nail, which is quite difficult to do without a hat. Then, pressing the handles of the nippers and holding the nail tightly, we begin to swing it slowly, from side to side, in order to gradually pull it out.

Nippers may not be enough if the nail is too deep in the wood or other surface, there is simply nothing to grab onto. In this case, we offer the second option: you can go from the opposite and with a finisher, another nail, a beard, try to pierce it through, through the entire board. The main thing in this case is to clearly hit the center of the nail without a hat. This method will not help if the nail sticks out in a board that is too thick or another surface that cannot be pierced through.

The third way to pull out a stuck nail without a cap is heating. Remember from the course of physics that when heated, the body expands? And then, cooling down, they shrink, respectively. You can heat the nail and the surface around it either with a gas burner, or with some thin hot object, by applying it. The metal will expand, narrow, the adhesion to the surface will become less strong and it will be possible to pull out the stubborn nail with the same wire cutters.

The fourth option: take a piece of pipe, the diameter of which exceeds the diameter of the nail. One end will have to be jagged, the other end inserted into a drill. Then we simply drill out the nail, setting the serrated tube so that it is in the middle. The nail is quickly removed, but a hole will remain, which, if necessary, can be sealed with a plug or putty.

If you are not afraid to damage the surface into which the uncapped nail is driven in, you can try to get to it with a chisel, breaking off pieces of wood around it, in addition, you can also drill a hole nearby with a drill with an ordinary drill.

You can also make grooves along the sides of the nail, form notches below the broken top, in order to then pull it out with wire cutters. Minus - the board or other surface will be damaged, a torn hole will remain in place of the pulled out nail.

As you can see, pulling out a nail is much more difficult than driving it in without a hammer. However, ingenuity the right tools, and, to be honest, brute force will help you cope with this task.
