Benefits of Ring Shank Nails and Back Nailing

At Brown Roofing, we prioritize the durability and performance of every roof we install. That’s why we use ring shank nails and practice back nailing when securing roof decking. These methods provide superior benefits compared to conventional approaches:

Ring Shank Nails

1. Enhanced Holding Power: Unlike smooth nails, ring shank nails have ridges along their shaft, creating additional friction and grip when driven into the wood. This helps prevent loosening over time due to environmental changes, such as temperature fluctuations or strong winds.
2. Resistance to Pull-Out: The ridged design resists being pulled out, making roofs more resilient to high winds, which is especially important in areas prone to severe weather.
3. Improved Longevity: By minimizing movement and loosening, ring shank nails help maintain the integrity of the roof structure over the long term.

Back Nailing

1. Secures Roof Decking Properly: Back nailing involves driving nails into the decking from the underside, providing additional support and securing the materials from both sides.
2. Prevents Warping or Buckling: This technique ensures the decking remains flat and firmly attached, reducing the risk of movement that can lead to uneven surfaces and compromised shingles.
3. Enhanced Wind Uplift Resistance: With the decking more securely anchored, the entire roof system is better able to withstand uplift forces during storms.

By combining these advanced techniques, Brown Roofing ensures a stronger, longer-lasting roof that stands up to the elements and protects your home with superior performance. Two of the many reasons we offer The Brown Promise – Our 50 Year Warranty. Brown Won’t Let You Down!
