Rapid Steel-Frame Fastening for Cladding, Bracing & Battens

What if repetitive fixing into steel framing could be completed without drilling a pilot hole for every connection? ICCONS® | Structnails form a specialised fastening system for rapid fixing into steel frames across residential, commercial, modular & off-site construction.

Speed matters most when the fastener, material & installation tool work together correctly. The Structnail® range includes Gripshank™ Supersharpy™ coils & strips, hardened brads, heavy-steel ballistic fixings, dedicated pneumatic & gas nailers, washers & accessories for cladding, bracing, battens, flooring, building wrap, fit-out work & other compatible steel-frame applications.

Projects involving broader steel-frame connections can also be planned alongside Structural Fasteners & Bolts, while Specialty Fasteners & Fixings provides options for other specialised connections. For powered installation equipment used across site & fabrication work, explore Power Tools.

What Are ICCONS® Structnails?

Unlike a conventional nail driven into timber, Structnail® is designed around fastening materials directly to steel framing. The system uses specialised nail points, shank profiles & compatible powered installation tools for suitable steel-frame applications.

The connection starts with how the fixing penetrates the steel. The Supersharpy™ ballistic-shaped point is designed to pierce the steel rather than relying on a separate drilled hole, while the proprietary knurling pattern contributes to the mechanical engagement between the fastener & frame.

Across the Structnail® family, installers can encounter:

► Gripshank™ Supersharpy™ Coil Nails – 38 mm, 50 mm & 65 mm options for compatible 15° pneumatic coil nailers
► Gripshank™ Supersharpy™ Strips – 22 mm & 38 mm breakaway-collated options for the ST3025C gas nailing system
► 15 Gauge Hardened Trim Brads – 25 mm, 38 mm & 50 mm options for compatible steel-frame fit-out work
► Helical Ballistic Strips – dedicated fasteners for applicable heavy-steel connections using the CT90 pneumatic system
► Ballistic Point Pins – specialised fixings for applications including cooperage & barrel-hoop work
► Structnail® Washers & Accessories – components for applicable membrane & fastening arrangements
► Pneumatic Structnail® Tools – including coil, strip & heavy-steel nailers
► Gas Structnail® Tools – portable installation options for compatible breakaway-collated fasteners

These products work as a system rather than as interchangeable nails. Nail type, length, point design, collation, tool compatibility, attached material & steel substrate should all be checked before installation.

For broader guidance on choosing fastening systems around the materials being joined, see the Fastener Guide Bolts Screws Anchors.

Why Choose ICCONS® Structnails?

Faster Repetitive Fixing into Steel Frames

Consider a long run of cladding, bracing or battens where every fixing would otherwise require several separate installation steps. A correctly selected Structnail® system allows compatible fasteners to be driven directly into steel framing using pneumatic or gas-powered equipment.

Across repetitive work, the right fastener & tool combination can simplify installation while maintaining a consistent fastening process.

Purpose-Designed Point & Shank Geometry

Successful steel penetration requires more than simply making a nail harder. Structnail® combines specialised point geometry with proprietary shank knurling developed around fastening into compatible steel framing.

Gripshank™ Supersharpy™ fixings are available for applications where the connection must respond to the demands of the specified building assembly.

PT2000 Protection on Applicable Fixings

Fasteners used around a building envelope need consideration long after installation is complete. Applicable Structnail® nails use ICCONS® PT2000 coating, with the manufacturer identifying relevant products for Category 3 environments & BlueScope® Steel requirements.

Confirm the individual fastener, exposure conditions & building-system requirements before selection.

Pneumatic & Gas Installation Options

A production workshop can have very different equipment requirements from a mobile construction crew. Structnail® includes pneumatic systems for compatible repetitive work as well as a gas-fired option where portability is valuable.

Choose the installation tool around the required Structnail® fastener & application.

Compatibility with Established Building Systems

Cladding & bracing installations can require a documented fixing arrangement rather than simply a fastener capable of penetrating the frame. Structnail® products are used with building systems including James Hardie & Weathertex, subject to the applicable technical requirements.

Where a particular construction system is specified, follow its current fixing schedule, fastener requirements & installation instructions.

Common Applications

Fibre Cement Cladding

Cladding brings installation speed, fastening performance & building-system requirements together at every fixing point. Gripshank™ Supersharpy™ products can be used across compatible fibre cement cladding systems fixed to steel frames.

Check the cladding manufacturer's fixing schedule & relevant Structnail® documentation before installation.

Timber Weatherboards to Steel Frames

Timber weatherboards over steel framing create a connection between materials with very different characteristics. Applicable Structnail® systems provide a powered fastening method for compatible weatherboard installations over steel frames.

Confirm fastener length, framing specification & cladding-system requirements before work begins.

Ply, OSB & Steel Bracing

Bracing fasteners should be selected around the specified bracing assembly, not simply around whichever nail fits the available tool. Structnail® applications include ply bracing, OSB bracing & steel sheet bracing where the relevant fastening arrangement is suitable.

For accurate sheet positioning & fixing layout, Measuring & Leveling Tools can support preparation before fastening begins.

Building Wrap & Weather Barriers

Flexible membranes place different demands on a fixing from rigid cladding or structural sheet. Structnail® systems can be used across compatible building wrap & vapour-permeable weather barrier applications over steel framing.

Washers & matched accessories become particularly important where additional bearing area is required across the membrane.

Timber & Steel Battens

Battens & thermal breaks add another material layer between the finished building envelope & frame. Structnail® applications include timber thermal battens & steel top-hat thermal breaks where the relevant fastening system is appropriate.

Consider the complete material stack when determining fastener length & suitability.

Flooring to Steel Chassis or Frames

Modular & off-site construction can turn repeated floor connections into a substantial part of the production schedule. Structnail® systems are used for compatible timber flooring connections across steel framing, including applications encountered by modular, caravan & trailer builders.

For additional fastening options used across fabrication & construction, explore Bolts & Fasteners.

Architraves, Skirting & Interior Fit-Out

Steel-frame construction continues well beyond structural sheet installation. Hardened brad systems within the Structnail® family support compatible architrave, skirting & interior fit-out work where a finer fastening result is required.

Crews moving between framing, cladding & finishing stages can also explore Construction & Site Wear for day-to-day site requirements.

Heavy-Steel Applications

Heavier steel calls for a fastening system designed specifically for the material being encountered. Structnail® includes Helical Ballistic Strips used with the CT90 Pneumatic Heavy Steel Nailer for applicable heavy-steel work.

Do not assume a standard Supersharpy™ fixing is suitable simply because another Structnail® system is designed for heavier material.

Cooperage & Barrel Hoops

Structnail® also extends into specialised manufacturing applications outside conventional building frames. ICCONS® offers a 13 mm Ballistic Point Pin for cooperage & barrel-hoop work using the ST3025C gas nailing tool.

For specialist consumables, identify the existing fastener & compatible tool before ordering replacements.

Product Selection Guide

Start with the material being attached to the steel rather than choosing the nailer first. Cladding, bracing, trim, flooring, thermal battens & heavy-steel work each place different requirements on the fastener & installation equipment.

Coil or Strip?

The specified fastener, installation environment & available equipment usually determine the appropriate format. Gripshank™ Supersharpy™ coils are available for compatible 15° pneumatic coil nailers, while Supersharpy™ strips are designed around the ST3025C gas system.

Confirm the required fixing arrangement before changing between delivery systems.

Pneumatic or Gas?

Workshop production can favour a different power source from installation work spread across an active site. Pneumatic nailers suit compatible high-volume work where an appropriate compressor & air supply are available, while the gas system provides portability for compatible Structnail® strips.

Tool choice should follow the required fastener & application.

Which Supersharpy™ Coil Length?

Extra nail length doesn't automatically make a connection more suitable. Gripshank™ Supersharpy™ coils are available in 38 mm, 50 mm & 65 mm lengths, with selection depending on the attached material, steel frame & required fixing arrangement.

Check the applicable technical schedule before ordering project quantities.

When Are Hardened Brads Appropriate?

Interior trim needs a different fastening approach from structural bracing or external cladding. Structnail® 15 Gauge Hardened Trim Brads are available in 25 mm, 38 mm & 50 mm lengths for compatible work using the ST1850C4 pneumatic strip nailer.

Hardened brads should not be substituted for Gripshank™ fasteners used in other building assemblies.

When Does the CT90 System Apply?

Heavy steel should be approached with equipment designed for that fastening condition. The CT90 Pneumatic Heavy Steel Nailer works with compatible Helical Ballistic Strips for applicable heavier-steel work.

Confirm the steel specification & fixing requirements before selecting the system.

Do I Need a Washer?

Flexible membranes can require greater bearing area at the fixing point. Structnail® includes washer options & compatible accessories for applicable installations.

Use the washer, adaptor & fastener combination required for the particular system rather than combining unrelated components.

Expert Tips

Check the Building-System Requirements Before Ordering

Early confirmation can prevent an incorrect fastener from reaching the frame. For cladding, weatherboard or bracing systems, check the current fixing schedule before determining nail type, length, spacing & installation method.

Keep Tools & Consumables Matched

Several collated fasteners on the same project can look deceptively similar once their packaging is removed. Store Structnail® coils, strips, brads, gas cells, washers & accessories with clear identification of their compatible equipment.

Small Parts Organisers can help separate washers, adaptors & smaller system components during transport or workshop storage.

Hold the Nailer Square to the Work

Tool position is established before the trigger is pulled. ICCONS® installation guidance calls for the nailer nose to be positioned at approximately 90 degrees to the working surface.

Consistent positioning helps maintain controlled installation across repeated fixing runs.

Match the Air Supply to the Pneumatic Tool

Consistent pneumatic performance depends on more than the nailer itself. Use an appropriate compressor, hose arrangement & pressure setting in accordance with the tool instructions rather than compensating for an unsuitable air supply at the nailer.

For practical preparation before heavier project periods, see Spring Jobsite Prep Getting Your Gear Ready.

Protect Breakaway Collation During Loading

Damaged strips can interrupt an otherwise efficient gas-tool installation. When loading breakaway-collated Structnail® strips, control the follower rather than allowing it to snap forward against the fasteners.

Prepare the Gas System Before Starting

A few checks before the first fixing can prevent interruptions once repetitive work begins. For the ST3025C system, confirm battery charge, compatible fasteners & the required GT-IXF-24 gas cell before starting the installation run.

Keep Specified Systems Together

Changing one part of a documented fixing arrangement can affect the completed installation. Where Structnail® forms part of a specified cladding, bracing or façade system, maintain the required relationship between fastener, substrate, attached material, spacing & installation method.

Inspect Equipment Before High-Volume Work

Early feeding or firing inconsistencies deserve attention before hundreds of fixings are installed. Check the magazine, nosepiece, fastener feed, air or gas supply & relevant wear components before beginning high-volume work.
