What Kind of Nails Are Used for Concrete?

Black Concrete Nails

• Black concrete nails come in varying sizes and head types. They are manufactured of black carbon steel so they retain the strength to penetrate concrete.

Galvanized Concrete Nails

• Galvanized concrete nails can be found with or without a head on them. They are an iron type nail plated in zinc. To maintain the strength needed for penetrating concrete, they are manufactured with a mixture of carbon steel.

Traditional Concrete Nails

• Using special mixes of iron and creative design, traditional concrete nails are manufactured to affix things to concrete. These nails are shorter and thicker than most common nails.

Concrete Anchors

• Differing from nails, concrete anchors provide a firmer grip in the concrete so heavy items may be more securely attached to the concrete.
