Description

TIMCO Polymer Headed Pins in black are A4 (316) stainless steel pins with a small, colour-matched polymer head, made for pinning coated trims, beading and roofline detail where the fixing must not show and needs to last outdoors. The stainless shank carries a corrosion rating of 5 for coastal and industrial air, and the UV stable head holds its colour through the weather. They run on a fine 2.1mm shank with a 6.4mm head in 30mm and 40mm lengths. The light-duty partner to polymer headed nails, and a tidy choice on oak and cedar.

Key Features & Benefits

  • A4 (316) stainless steel shank. A corrosion rating of 5 holds in coastal and industrial air where standard pins rust and stain.
  • Small colour-matched polymer head. A 6.4mm moulded head that blends into coated trims and beading, so the pin barely shows.
  • UV stable and impact resistant. Keeps its colour outdoors and drives without the head cracking.
  • Fine 2.1mm shank. Slim enough to pin thin trim and lightweight board without splitting it.
  • Safe in corrosive timbers. Suits oak and cedar, where an ordinary pin reacts with the tannins and marks the wood.

Usage / Application

Polymer headed pins are the light-duty partner to polymer headed nails: a slim, colour-matched pin for fixing thinner coated trims, beading and roofline detail where a full nail is too much and the head must not show.

  • Pinning uPVC and coated trims, beading and edge detail.
  • Soffit and fascia trims where a finer fixing is needed.
  • Cladding cover strips and roofline corner trims.
  • Oak and cedar trim that marks around a standard pin.

FAQs

What are polymer headed pins?

They are A4 stainless steel pins with a small, colour-matched plastic head (6.4mm). The head hides the fixing against coated trims and beading, and the stainless shank resists corrosion outdoors. Think of them as the finer, light-duty version of polymer headed nails.

What is the difference between polymer headed pins and nails?

Same A4 stainless shank and UV-stable coloured head, but pins are finer: a 2.1mm shank and a 6.4mm head, against 3.2mm and 12mm on the nails. Use pins for thin trims and beading, and nails for fixing the fascia and soffit boards themselves.

Can I use them outdoors or near the coast?

Yes. The A4 (316) stainless steel gives a corrosion rating of 5, the top of the scale, which covers coastal and industrial air with salt in it.

What size polymer headed pin do I need?

30mm covers most trim and beading, with 40mm for a firmer hold in thicker sections and 25mm for the lightest detail. All run on a 2.1mm shank with a 6.4mm head.

Will they mark oak or cedar?

No. Standard pins react with the tannins in oak and cedar and leave dark marks. The stainless shank avoids that, so the timber stays clean.
