Construction staples
- Heavy-Duty Staples: These are thick and sturdy staples commonly used with staple guns or pneumatic staplers. They are suitable for securing a variety of materials, including wood, insulation, roofing felt, wire mesh, and upholstery.
- Crown Staples: Crown staples are wider staples with a distinctive crown shape (top surface). They are often used for fastening thin materials, such as fabric, cardboard, and lightweight trim work.
- Flooring Staples: These specialized staples are designed specifically for installing hardwood or engineered wood flooring. They have barbed edges or serrations to provide improved grip and prevent the floorboards from shifting or squeaking.
- Fence Staples: Fence staples, also known as U-nails or poultry staples, have a U-shaped design with pointed ends. They are used to attach wire mesh, fencing, or netting to wooden posts or frames.
- Insulation Staples: Insulation staples are designed for securing insulation materials, such as fiberglass or foam boards, to walls, ceilings, or other surfaces. They have longer legs to penetrate and hold insulation securely in place.
- Cable Staples: These staples are used to secure electrical wires or cables to wooden surfaces or studs. They help to organize and secure wiring during electrical installations.
- Roofing Staples: Roofing staples are commonly used in roofing projects to fasten roofing felt, tar paper, or underlayment to the roof deck. They have wide crowns for increased holding power and resistance against wind and weather.
