Key Features of Our Lost Head Nails
- Concealed Finishing: The small head design is optimized for “lost” application, ensuring no unsightly nail heads mar your woodwork.
- Premium Q195/Q235 Steel: High-tensile strength prevents the shank from bending during high-impact driving into hardwoods.
- Sharp Diamond Point: Ensures clean penetration through delicate veneers and moldings without causing splits.
- Anti-Rust Coatings: Choose from polished lost head nails for interior dry use or galvanized finishes for moisture-prone areas.
- Smooth Shank: Designed for rapid installation and a tight friction-based grip in timber.

Why Use Lost Head Nails for Professional Woodworking?
When working with expensive hardwoods or delicate skirting, a standard common wire nail is often too bulky and intrusive. Our lost head nails solve this by offering a slim profile. Once driven in, the remaining small hole can be easily filled with wood putty, creating a completely seamless surface. This is why they are indispensable for flooring installation, cabinet assembly, and fixing architraves.
As a specialized nail factory, we offer customization in terms of hardness and finish. For instance, our electro-galvanized lost head nails are popular for bathroom renovations where humidity might cause standard nails to rust and stain the wood. We also ensure that our nails are packed in moisture-proof packaging to maintain their “bright” finish during long-distance sea freight, ensuring they arrive at your warehouse in perfect condition.
Our wholesale clients benefit from our large-scale production capacity. We produce over 500 tons of iron wire nails monthly, ensuring that even large-volume orders for construction nails are fulfilled within 15-25 days. By choosing us as your supplier, you get factory-direct prices without compromising on the precision required for high-end carpentry tools.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q2: Can these be used with a hammer or an air nailer?
A: These are loose nails designed for manual hammering. For air tools, we also supply collated brad nails upon request.
Q3: Which finish is best for skirting boards?
