Flat Head Spikes
Flat head spikes, also known as cut nails, are ideal for general concrete anchoring and roofing applications, as well as fastening insulations and single-ply membranes to structural concrete roof decks. They are often preferred over common nails because their rectangular shape allows them to resist pulling out of the wood, making them more secure.
