What are the advantages of plastic composite nails?
Plastic composite nails can be substituted for traditional metal nails for non-structural uses. They do not rust, corrode, or cause staining or streaking, and are virtually unaffected by chlorine, acids, and solvents such as gasoline and oil. They also can be sanded or sawed without damaging woodworking tools. Because composite nails actually bond to the wood surface, connections are stronger than with metal nails. The prices are roughly double that of standard steel nails, but about half the cost of stainless steel.
