Plasterboard Clout

Plasterboard Clouts are specialized fasteners designed for securing fibrous plasterboard to timber structures. These clouts are made from hardened nail wire, ensuring they have the strength and durability needed for reliable performance in construction and renovation projects. The hardened material allows the clouts to penetrate and hold firmly in both the plasterboard and the timber, providing a stable and secure attachment. One of the key features of Plasterboard Clouts is their hot-dipped galvanised finish. This galvanisation process coats the clouts with a layer of zinc, offering superior corrosion resistance. This makes them particularly suitable for use in environments where moisture and humidity might be present, as the galvanised finish helps prevent rust and extends the lifespan of the fasteners. This ensures that the structural integrity of the installation remains intact over time. The clouts are cold forged, a manufacturing process that enhances their strength and toughness. Cold forging compresses the metal, making it denser and harder, which in turn increases the clouts’ ability to withstand the stresses of installation and long-term use. This method also contributes to the precision of the clouts’ shape and size, ensuring consistent performance.
