TopShield’s versatile and reliable residential fasteners hold it all together.

In roofing and construction, fasteners may be small, but their role is anything but. By securing shingles, panels and other parts of the roofing assembly, the right fastener is key to a successful project. At TopShield, they have developed a variety of residential fastener products. In this article we’ll dive into how their high-quality offerings ensure that every project has the hardware needed for better performance and long-lasting results. 

Roofing staples  

TopShield’s roofing staples are a high-quality exterior grade product, ideal for use on any project, great for use on any project. They offer uncompromising performance and incredible versatility with a design engineered to fit “most major brands of pneumatic tools.” Perfect for tacking insulation, roofing felt, house wrap, vapor barriers and more, these staples come in A11, N17, 5010C and P10 sizes.  

Coil nails 

Made of steel, TopShield’s coil nails are perfect for securing roofing materials. Designed with a reinforced shank to prevent damage or injury from nail heads snapping, this product provides a superior holding power that is perfect for securing roofing shingles, shake, felts, insulation, fiberboard and tiles. Not only do they reduce “frustration and wasted time from nail gun jams,” they prevent damage or detachment caused by rust and corrosion – keeping the entire project stronger for longer! 

Collated cap nails 

TopShield’s NailPac is a pneumatically-driven cap nail, which (when paired with the STINGER® CN100B) dramatically speeds up install, enhances worker safety and can reduce repetitive stress injuries over time. The caps are made of a high-grade virgin plastic that lasts up to 10 times longer under UV exposure than traditional hand-drive caps do, ensuring the dry-in stays secure for several months. Ideal for installing roofing underlayment, these caps are also great for installing house wrap, lumber shrouds and foam boards (up to 1/2"”)! 

Plastic caps 

Last but not least, TopShield manufactures a line of pre-assembled plastic cap nails. These are perfect for holding roofing felts, base sheets, insulations, sheathings, wraps and barriers in place. The engineered plastic cap creates a strong outer rim that both minimizes the “heat sinking effect of metal to the building materials” and lowers the risk of tears and ruptures in your materials. Further, the TopShield team engineered these plastic cap nails with an angular ringed shank for additional pull-out resistance, making them the ideal combination of securing the material.
