Definición y Significado de "panel nail"

What is a "panel nail"?

A panel nail is a type of nail designed for attaching thin materials, such as panels, to a surface. It typically has a small, flat head that helps prevent the material from being damaged or split during installation. Panel nails are often used in woodworking, furniture making, and construction to secure lightweight materials like plywood, fiberboard, or thin sheet metal. Their design ensures a firm hold without creating large, visible holes, making them ideal for projects where a clean, neat appearance is important.
