Porta-Nails 46197 18 Gauge 1-1/4-Inch by 1/4-Inch Crown Flooring Staples
PNI's 1-1/4 In. 18 gauge flooring staple is for use with PNI's Model 461, 461A and with all brands of Staplers using an 18 ga staple. The 1-1/4 In. staple is recommended for use with 5/16 In. to 1/2 In. engineered, vertical and horizontal grain bamboo and solid hardwood floors. The 18 ga staple is a thinner than the traditional 15 ga staple and is effective in reducing the splitting of tongues on bamboo and exotic hardwoods. The thinner nail along with the narrow crown will also reduce the chance of dimpling engineered and thinner hardwood floors. The staples are electro galvanized, collated with glue and are packed 5000 per pack. Each pack will cover approximately 1000 sq ft of 2-1/4 In. and 1500 sq ft of 3-1/4 In. flooring when following a fastening schedule of 6 to 8 inches. Our staples are produced with the finest material and will hold up for the life of the floor. For other size flooring try using PNI's # 46198 1-1/2 In. or # 46196 1 In. Staple. Bamboo, engineered and thinner exotic flooring may require an 18 gauge fastener to reduce the risk of splitting, delaminating and dimpling. Always follow the flooring manufactures recommendation for the length and thickness of the fastener to be used on your flooring. We are members of the National Wood Flooring Association and will answer your installation and applications questions. Trust your flooring project to a company that knows hardwood flooring.
