In the woodworking and furniture industry, fasteners play a critical role in determining the structural integrity and durability of the final product. One such fastener that often goes unnoticed but is indispensable in many applications is the corrugated nail — also known as a corrugated fastener.
What Are Corrugated Nails?
Corrugated nails are thin, strip-shaped fasteners with a wavy or zigzag profile. Unlike traditional nails, they do not have a pointed tip or a round shaft. Instead, they resemble a series of waves or “corrugations” that increase surface area and mechanical grip. These nails are typically driven into wood using a hammer or pneumatic tools and are primarily used for **joining two pieces of wood edge-to-edge or at right angles, especially in softwoods.
Applications
Corrugated nails are widely used in:
Furniture assembly (e.g., sofa frames, drawer backs)
Picture frame manufacturing
Wooden crate and case construction
Light carpentry and interior joinery
Upholstery and cabinet repairs
They are especially effective in situations where nails or screws may split the wood or when fast, clean joints are needed without visible hardware.
Key Advantages
1. High Holding Power
The wavy profile provides excellent resistance to withdrawal and lateral force, making the joint more secure than what a regular nail can offer.
2. No Splitting
Since corrugated nails are thin and don’t require pre-drilling, they are less likely to cause wood splitting, especially on thin or soft materials.
3. Quick and Efficient Installation
Easy to apply with hand tools or automatic fastener guns, allowing for fast production cycles.
4. Cost-Effective
Minimal material usage and reduced labor time make them an economical solution for manufacturers.
Material & Finish Options
Corrugated nails are commonly made from carbon steel, galvanized steel, or stainless steel, depending on the environment in which they will be used. Finishes such as zinc-plating or black oxide are also available to enhance corrosion resistance and match specific aesthetic requirements.
