HED Double Point Nails are optional on strip and edge set flooring, but are required on all Plank Floors.


The Double Point Nails tie the plank together and provide concealed nailing. No vertical nailing is needed. As there are no spikes to work out on top, the planks should not creep and loosen to cause bang and chatter. Proper installation should eliminate tendency of floor to buckle or sway horizontally.


An economical and practical fastening device where ever wood is placed on steel. Farms, golf courses, forest preserves, parks or walkways on city bridges.
