Be prepared for the aftermath if you choose a builder that uses steel screws as fasteners. The screws—even those that are painted—become gouged and stripped when fastened. Because steel forms red rust when it’s exposed to air and water, it is not a practical choice for a fastener, especially on roof panels.
Our double hot-dipped galvanized ring shank nails include an EPDM (synthetic rubber) washer. These washers—highly resistant to deterioration by ultraviolet rays—remain flexible in extreme heat or cold. EPDM washers form an excellent seal between the nail and the steel.
