Professional Duplex Nails – Double Headed Steel Nails for Concrete Formwork & Scaffolding

Our Duplex Nails (also known as double head nails or scaffold nails) are the essential fastener for temporary construction projects, particularly concrete formwork and scaffolding. Featuring a unique double-headed design, these nails are driven to the first head, leaving the second head exposed for rapid and effortless extraction with a hammer or pry bar. Manufactured from high-tensile Q195 carbon steel, our duplex fasteners ensure structural stability while preventing damage to expensive timber or forms during disassembly. Available in various lengths and polished finishes, they are the industry standard for efficiency on the job site.

In the fast-paced world of concrete construction, efficiency and material reusability are paramount. Our Duplex Nails (also known as double head nails or scaffold nails) are specifically designed to streamline the process of building and stripping temporary structures. As a leading double head nails manufacturer, we focus on providing fasteners that offer a secure hold during use but remain incredibly easy to extract, saving time and protecting expensive timber forms.

Why Our Duplex Nails are the Industry Standard
  • Easy-Removal Design: The secondary head remains exposed above the wood surface, allowing for 50% faster disassembly with a claw hammer or pry bar.
  • High-Tensile Q195 Steel: Manufactured from premium low-carbon steel, our formwork nails resist bending under the heavy lateral pressure of wet concrete.
  • Precision Diamond Point: Features a sharp 60-degree point for effortless penetration, reducing wood splitting and installer fatigue.
  • Polished Finish: Every batch is tumbled and polished to ensure zero oil residue and smooth handling on the job site.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why are duplex nails used in concrete formwork?
A: They allow for a permanent hold during the concrete pour, but the second head makes them incredibly easy to pull out, allowing the timber forms to be reused multiple times without splitting.

Q2: Can I get these nails in a galvanized finish?
A: Yes, while bright polished is standard for temporary use, we also offer electro-galvanized duplex nails for projects requiring extra corrosion resistance.

Q3: Do you support custom lengths?
A: Absolutely! We can manufacture custom shank lengths and head spacings to meet your specific regional construction standards.
