Traditionally, the installation of trim has been a compromise between structural integrity and visual appeal. The most common method of installing trim involved using a hammer and finishing nails (which create crater-like indentations) or extensive amounts of wood putty and color matching to conceal unsightly nail heads. The Non-Marking Nail Invisible Baseboard Finishing Nails have solved this dilemma. Using a dual-headed or recessed design, these fasteners allow the nail to be completely buried within the surface of the wood or routed through a concealed track; therefore eliminating the compromise found in other methods of fastening.
This 50-piece package is designed for those inpiduals desiring the ultimate "blind-nail" affect without having to purchase costly pneumatic trim nailer or complicated machines. The fasteners them selves are made from the high strength carbon steel other and strong alloy materials. Therefore, these fasteners will remain rigid enough to resist distortion while driving through dense hardwoods or composite veneers. Since baseboards are subject to damage from vacuum cleaners, furniture movement, and the normal expansion and contraction of your home's foundation; the high strength of the fasteners is critical to maintaining the flatness and tightness of the baseboard against the wall.
In addition to their high strength characteristics and the fasteners are also designed to be non marking. This benefit becomes especially important when working with pre finished woods or delicate veneers since even the slightest scratch or a misplaced hammer blow may render an expensive piece of molding unusable. As many modern homes now feature minimalist designs focusing on clean lines and flawless finishes and these fasteners have become the preferred method for installing decorative molding.
To install the hidden fasteners is relatively simple and takes advantage of both traditional manual techniques and precision engineered features. Each fastener is designed so that when installed, its secondary head or threaded screw section secures the baseboard tightly against the surrounding substrate thus forming a mechanical bond greater than adhesives alone. Additionally, the 50-piece package contains enough fasteners to cover all areas of a standard size room or focused cabinetry projects and will help maintain a uniform appearance throughout the area. With the ability to create a mechanically bonded joint without the presence of exposed fasteners; there will be less post-project labor associated with filling numerous holes with wood wax or putty. Wood wax or putty used for filling holes in trim work often ages at different rates than the wood itself and may eventually be noticeable again.
While the primary function of these fasteners was for installing baseboards, they also make great fasteners for installing crown molding, chair rails and decorative wall slats where visible fasteners would detract from the intricate patterns in the wood grain. They are a durable fastener that honors the quality of the material being installed. For homeowners doing projects around their house; these fasteners give you the confidence to complete a contractor grade finished product with just a few basic hand tools. With their use, homeowners can produce environments that emphasize architectural beauty rather than hardware. At present, interior design trends tend to favor flawlessness and integration; The Non-Marking Nail Invisible Baseboard Finishing Nail serves as an essential tool to produce a perfectly polished and lasting result in any woodworking project.
