Fixing cedar shingles and shakes, timber cladding and felt, where you want a light, non-rusting nail that will not stain the timber.

Aluminium or copper clout nails, which should I use?

Both resist corrosion and suit cedar. Aluminium is lighter and lower cost for cladding and shingles; copper is the traditional choice for natural slate and heritage roofs, and works with copper and lead details.

Do aluminium nails stain cedar?

No. Unlike ordinary steel, aluminium does not react with the tannins in cedar, so it will not leave the dark streaks a steel nail would.
