Nail Strip

Colorspan Industries’ Nail Strip cladding system is a concealed fix profile ideal for all modern and traditional architectural facades.

It has an adjustable recessed pan with a raised seam of either 25mm or 38mm in height. The overall effect of a structure covered by this cladding is a series continuous flowing thick bands neatly framed by thin ribs that lends to a range of effects through a combination of light and shadows to produce a dynamic visual impact.

“This profile is fast and simple to install and great for owner builders and renovators.”

Availability

Available in either 25mm or 38mm rib height and custom pan width with lengths of up to 8 metres. The Nail strip cladding system will meet your building
construction requirements. Combined with vast material finishing options including Colorbond, Copper, Weathering Steel, Aluminium, Zinc, and Stainless Steel, this tool will create a truly unique style of your building project.

Profile Details

Colorspan Nail Strip cladding has an adjustable flat recessed pan with a raised seam of either 25mm or 38mm in height.

This profile is fastened with screws along its perforated Nail Strip edge and requires no clips or special tooling. Fast and straightforward to install, Nail Strip is perfect for renovators and owner builders. Panels can be installed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to create a contemporary and dynamic aesthetic.

Advantages

Panel width can be customised to suit your project needs, giving you optimum flexibility when using on complex designs. This also allows control of the spacing between windows and doorways so that the panel lines finish neatly along with frames or shut lines.

The Nail Strip system uses concealed fasteners along the perforated edge to secure the panel to the substructure and then simply clip on next rib of the adjacent panel.

This system creates a durable sealed weather-tight joint, suitable for both cladding and roofing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Nail Strip and the other rib profiles?

What is the difference between Nail Strip and the other rib profiles?

The Nail Strip system is different from the other profiles as it only requires screw fastening along its perforated edges. The other two similar profiles Snap Lock and Standing Seam both require clips to fix down underlap. The Nail Strip pan width can also be adjusted like the other two profiles. This makes the installation much quicker, with no need for specialised tools.

Are special tools required to install Standing Seam?

No, there is no need for any specialised tools; only screw fixing is required.

How do I maintain my cladding (dependant on material)?
