| Ancon supplies helical nails for both pitched and flat warm roofs. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Super-7 Thor-Helical Nails Super-7 nails fix counterbattens to rafters, without compressing the layer of insulation in-between. They are manufactured from stainless steel and are engineered with the precise Thor-Helical patented helix, and so provide maximum corrosion resistance and excellent holding power. They meet the technical requirements of the NHBC. |
