Timco zinc express nails are hardened, rapid-set anchors designed for fixing directly into concrete and masonry. Available in sizes from 6.0 x 50mm up to 8.0 x 180mm, these nails drive straight into the substrate using a hammer or nail gun, with no pre-drilling required. For anyone fixing battens, sole plates, or stud frames to masonry walls or concrete floors, express nails are one of the fastest methods available on site.
Despite being one of the simpler items in a fixing bag, zinc express nails are genuinely underestimated. They offer a solid mechanical anchor in dense substrates and work well where speed matters more than adjustability. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance, which is enough for interior applications and protected internal environments. If you are fixing a timber frame to a block wall or securing floor battens to a concrete slab, these nails will do the job efficiently and without fuss.
Where Timco Express Nails Are Used on Site
Express nails are most commonly used by carpenters and general builders when fixing timber to masonry or concrete backgrounds. Typical jobs include securing wall battens before boarding, fixing sole plates during partitioning work, and attaching timber grounds ahead of skirting or architrave installation. The range of sizes available means you can match the nail length to the thickness of the timber being fixed, with enough penetration into the substrate to hold securely.
Choosing the Right Size
The 6.0mm diameter nails in the shorter lengths suit lighter battens and thinner timber sections, while the 8.0mm diameter nails in longer lengths are better suited to fixing thicker structural timbers or sole plates where a more substantial anchor is needed. As a general guide, aim for at least 25–30mm of penetration into the masonry substrate beyond the face of the timber being fixed.
Boxes are available in quantities of 50, 100, and 200, so you can buy to suit the job rather than stockpiling more than you need. Priced at £3.74, these represent solid everyday value for a fixing that earns its place on every site van.
Pro Tip: Drive express nails at a slight angle, around 10 to 15 degrees, rather than dead perpendicular when fixing sole plates to concrete, as this increases pull-out resistance and reduces the chance of the nail walking on a hard aggregate surface.
