Description

25mm Copper Annular Ring Shank (ARS) Nails — Leadwork (1 kg)

25mm copper annular ring shank nails are the go to choice for use with rolled lead sheet.

25mm copper annular ring shank nails provide high withdrawal resistance for lead clips, soakers and flashings. Moreover, the ARS profile grips timber securely. Consequently, movement from thermal cycling is controlled and detailing stays tight.

At-a-glance benefits

Enhanced grip due to annular ring shank profile
Material compatibility with lead sheet and clips
Corrosion-resistant copper for long service life
Trade packs: 1 kg (≈ 450–500 nails per kg)

When to choose 25mm ARS

Use 25mm ARS for timber-to-lead fixings where extra hold is required. Therefore, they suit clips, flashings and small lead components. However, for slating you will typically select longer nails such as 30mm, 40mm or 50mm depending on the fixing schedule.

Simple sizing note

For lead clips, the shorter length improves control and appearance. Furthermore, the annular rings increase withdrawal resistance versus smooth shanks. As a result, clips stay seated even as lead expands and contracts.

Specification

Size & type	25 mm × 3.35 mm annular ring shank (ARS), copper
Pack size	1 kg (≈ 450–500 nails; manufacturer tolerance applies)
Head / Use	Clout head / lead clips, soakers, flashings
Material benefit	Copper is compatible with lead and resists corrosion

Nails per kilogram | 25mm Copper Annular Ringshank Nails

Counts depend on head size and wire tolerance. Even so, 25mm ARS typically ranges between 450–500 per kg. Thus, one bag covers substantial detailing before a top-up is needed.

Installation tips for leadwork

Pre-form clips neatly and fix without crushing the lead. Additionally, space fixings evenly and avoid over-driving, because excessive force can mark the sheet. Finally, follow your lead manufacturer’s detailing guide to ensure a durable finish.

FAQs | 25mm Copper Annular Ringshank Nails

Why ARS for lead?

Because the annular rings improve withdrawal resistance, clips and flashings stay secure as lead moves with temperature. Therefore, ARS is the traditional choice for timber-to-lead fixings.

Are these suitable for slate fixing?

Not usually. For slating, you will typically choose 30–50 mm smooth copper slate/clout nails depending on slate thickness and exposure. Consequently, see our Copper Slate Nails (BS 5534) category.

How many nails are in a 1 kg bag?

Approximately 450–500, although the exact count varies by manufacturer tolerance and head form.

Slating Headlap

Lap

Expandable Headlap Info

Choosing Headlap

Definition: The vertical overlap between successive rows of tiles to prevent water ingress.

Factors to consider:

Roof pitch: Shallower pitches (< 30°) need 75–100 mm; steeper (> 45°) can use 50 mm.
Climate & exposure: Wind-driven rain or heavy rainfall zones benefit from more headlap.
Tile profile: Deeper tiles may require extra overlap to seal correctly.

Rule of thumb:

Standard (30–45°): 50–75 mm
Low (< 30°): 75–100 mm
High (> 45°): 50 mm

Slate Size / Type

Slate 50mm Lap

Selecting Tile Size

Coverage per tile: Larger tiles cover more area but are heavier, affecting handling and substrate load.

Aesthetic scale: Big tiles suit modern, minimal lines on large roofs; smaller tiles give more texture and a traditional look.

Structural limits: Check rafters and battens can support the chosen tile’s weight and fixing centres.

Installation speed vs. waste: Larger tiles lay faster but may require more cutting at edges, increasing waste. Smaller tiles take longer but can reduce off-cuts.

Compatibility: Ensure the tile size works with your chosen headlap & side-lap for correct coverage per m².

By balancing pitch, weather, substrate capacity and appearance, you’ll pick the optimal tile size for performance and style.

Slates Per m2

Expandable Slates per m² Info

Calculating Slates per m²

Definition: Number of slates needed to cover one square metre.

Formula: 1 000 000 mm² ÷ (effective width × effective height)

Where:

Effective width = tile width – side lap
Effective height = tile height – head lap

Example: 610 mm × 355 mm tile, 20 mm side lap, 75 mm head lap:

Effective width: 610 − 20 = 590 mm
Effective height: 355 − 75 = 280 mm
Area per slate: 590 × 280 = 165 200 mm²
Slates per m²: 1 000 000 ÷ 165 200 ≈ 6.05

Adjust your headlap and sidelap values for precise coverage calculations.
