This week’s feature product is an entire line of one of the most common construction components. Nails! You might be surprised to learn that there are different nails for different jobs, so I’m gonna hammer home the details. Check out the family of Construction Nails from Duchesne.
Duchesne has been a 100% Canadian company for nearly 100 years. Starting in 1927, the Quebec based company manufactures their products right here in Canada, and their products have become one of the premiere names in construction materials. Let’s go over the 5 different nails that Duchesne has to offer.
5 Different Types of Duchesne Nails
First up are the Common Nails which, as the name implies, are your standard heavy-duty nails used in construction and carpentry, available in 2-inch to 4-inch lengths.
Next is the Box Nail, which are perfect for use with thin pieces of wood as their thinner shanks are less likely to cause splitting. They come in 2-inch to 3 ½ inch lengths, and are generally used for light construction, and installing trim.
Following that, we have Ardox Nails which offer a spiral shank that provides enhanced holding power and strength, making them ideal for projects like framing. They are available in 2 ½ inch to 4-inch sizes, with options for either an uncoated and polished “bright” finish, or a hot galvanized finish, which are coated in zinc, making them stronger and rust resistant.
Next up we have some specialty products, starting with Roofing Nails. These provide a larger head, and have much smaller shanks, coming in at 1 ¼ and 1 ½ inch lengths. These are used to secure house wrap, roof felt and, of course, shingles! They also have an electro-galvanized finish, making them rust and corrosion resistant.
Lastly, there’s Concrete Nails, which are heat treated to provide enhanced strength, and feature grooves in the shaft to minimize movement once installed. Available in 2 ½ or 3-inch lengths, they’re perfect for securing things to concrete and brick.
So, get out of the big box hardware stores and come on down to Greggs for some 100% Canadian service to pair with your 100% Canadian feature products; the Construction Nail lineup from Duchesne.
