Nails on concrete: advantages and disadvantages of mounting

Fortunately, the times when making fasteners of any product or coating on concrete was a whole problem are long gone.

Instructions that answer the question of how to hammer a nail into a concrete wall, previously consisted of such actions as:

1. Drilling holes in concrete, for which diamond drilling of holes in concrete was used;
2. Plugging a wooden plug into this very hole;
3. The fastener was just clogged or screwed into the cork.

Today, specialized nails, dowels, and even liquid nails for concrete can be used to produce such fasteners.

Mounting nail for concrete fasteners

Монтажные гвозди для бетона представляют собой крепежный элемент, которые применяется для соединения различных конструкций, а также для крепления каких-либо изделий или покрытий к достаточно плотному и твердому основанию, в роли которого может выступать кирпич, камень и различные виды бетона (см.также статью «Железнение бетона: способы, материалы, последующая обработка»).

The main purpose of such products as nails for aerated concrete, simple concrete, brick or stone is the installation of heavy structures of large dimensions. Such fasteners can be fastened heavy metal structure, built in the framework of large-scale construction of residential buildings and industrial buildings.

The material for the manufacture of such products is durable hardened steel type. To start the installation process using this fastener, a special washer is put on the rod, which will allow it to be centered.

In order for such a nail to be hammered into a concrete base, a specialized gas nailing gun for concrete must be used.

Note! If it is necessary to drive a nail into a brick or another sufficiently soft base, there is no need to use a gun, you can hammer it into a surface of such density with a hammer.

The basic principle and reason for the reliability of this attachment is the most ordinary friction force, which holds the nail at the base.

The main advantages and advantages of nails for concrete fasteners

Such elements have the following important advantages:

• To reduce such parameters as the price and laboriousness of work on the creation of fasteners, the reliability and high quality of the joints created by such a fastening allow, due to the small penetration depth, which allows using cheaper and less powerful cartridges for the pistol;
• In order for fasteners to have the highest quality and reliability, they are equipped with specialized ballistic tips;
• To ensure ease of use and to maintain the best technical characteristics of such products are produced in the form of a clip;

• To ensure the safety and reliability of attachment, a method called the “torsion effect” is used;
• Nails are recognized as fasteners with the best penetrating power;
• Modern versions are equipped with a specialized tip, along the entire length of which a notch is made. This notch allows for maximum performance and a high level of quality of the produced fasteners;
• These elements are endowed with an increased level of strength, which determines the resistance to bending and the ability to withstand any load even when mounted on particularly hard bases;
• Also nails allow for the installation of metal structures to concrete foundations.

Variety of fasteners

Строительные гвозди для бетонного крепежа, представленные на рынке, в широчайшем ассортименте размеров, типов и областей применения (см.также статью «Бетонирование дорожек на даче – особенности проведения работ»).

In addition to the usual types of such products, there are also specialized ones intended for facade, roofing and thermal insulation works.

Note! There are also universal nails that can be used in the production of various construction and installation works.

Differences between products of this type are as follows:

1. Fabrication may be from materials of various types;
2. Different products are intended for the production of various types of work;
3. Various elements are designed for installation with a certain level of load.

Dowel-nail for concrete fasteners

Dowel nail for concrete - another type of fastener used as the basis for fastening certain types of screws or anchor bolts. The quality of this product directly affects the reliability of the created fastening.

For this reason, it is necessary to choose the type of element correctly, depending on which base will be fastened:

• For work with heavy strong concrete bases;
• For the implementation of fasteners to light, porous bases.

The main criterion that distinguishes a dowel nail on the concrete of one group from a product from another is resistance to compression.

The main action of elements of this type lies in their wedging. Blades wedged when driving fasteners ensure the impossibility of removing the dowel from the wall without violating the integrity of the dowel.

Note! The dowel nail for aerated concrete or concrete reaches the final stage of its attachment and fixation in the surface at the moment when the screw enters the dowel. At this very moment, the wedging occurs, which, together with the fixing antennae (if any), ensures the impossibility of removing the dowel from the base.

Finally

Приобрести гвозди для работы с бетонными конструкциями можно в любом строительном магазине. А забить их при помощи газозабивного пистолета каждый может своими руками без особых затруднений (читайте также статью «Шлакобетон – все, что нужно знать о данном виде материалов»).

You can even immediately shoot to the concrete base the necessary construction. If you need to tweak the surface or cut off the excess material, the cutting of reinforced concrete with diamond circles should be used.
