What are nail plates?

Nail plates are metal plates with embossed spikes (teeth) that, when pressed, embed into the wood and join two elements without the need for drilling. Nail plates are used in the production of roofs, prefabricated roof trusses (nail plates pressed in with a press), as well as roof framing, rafters, collar beams, and posts. They are also used in many other industries, e.g., for the production of furniture frames and wooden packaging.

Who are our nail plates for?

Nail plates are primarily dedicated to customers who join wooden elements structurally and want connections that are fast, repeatable, and strong.

• Manufacturers of trusses and prefabricated roof structures
• Construction companies and carpenters performing roof framing and other wooden structures
• Designers and structural engineers selecting solutions for joints in wooden structures
• Carpentry shops and manufacturers of wooden elements (e.g., frames, trusses, light structures)

What do you need to know about nail plates?

Nail plates are professional fasteners for elements that make up a roof structure. They are a significantly more durable alternative to adhesives or nails for wood and roof trusses, due to the densely distributed spikes that bite into the surface of the material. These spikes are responsible for the durability of the structure and are capable of transferring even heavy loads. As a result, nail plates are considered one of the safest fastening materials for lumber of the same thickness.

Nail plates for trusses – a reliable solution in roof construction

In addition to wooden structures, nail plates are primarily used for roof construction. They are used to fasten trusses – wooden beams that constitute a basic and inseparable element of the roof structure. Due to their extraordinary strength, resistance to abrasion, and ability to transfer even very large loads, nail plates are products that work perfectly as truss connectors. Nail plates made of sheet metal are also characterized by resistance to moisture and, consequently, corrosion that can occur on steel fasteners after constant contact with water. The lateral resistance of the teeth in the spikes ensures the safety of the entire structure and prevents the component from sliding out of the boards.

Nail plates for prefabricated roof structures

We offer nail plates for prefabricated roof structures, ensuring a strong “bite” into the wood, high repeatability of connections, and stable performance of the roof framing. Our nail plates are made of high-quality steel with appropriate anti-corrosion protection. Send us a joint drawing or basic truss parameters, and we will help you select the right type of nail plate for your production line and strength requirements.
