What are copper clout nails used for?

Fixing natural slates, cedar shingles and long-life felt, especially on heritage, listed and traditional roofs where the fixing must last as long as the covering.

Why use copper nails instead of steel?

Copper does not rust. It patinas and lasts for decades, and it will not react with copper or lead roof details, so it is the specified fixing for slating and heritage work.

Are copper clout nails good for cedar shingles?

Yes. Cedar is acidic and corrodes ordinary steel, so copper (or aluminium) is the right choice for cedar shingles and shakes.
