Concrete nail
01
a type of nail specifically designed for fastening materials to concrete or masonry surfaces
What is a "concrete nail"?
A concrete nail is a strong, thick nail designed for driving into hard materials like concrete, brick, or masonry. It is usually made of hardened steel to resist bending and breaking when hammered into these tough surfaces. The nail often has a flat head and a pointed tip to ensure it can penetrate the material effectively. Concrete nails are commonly used in construction to attach wood or other materials to concrete or brick, providing a secure and durable hold in demanding applications.
Examples
The carpenter used a concrete nail to attach the wooden frame securely to the brick wall.
He hammered a concrete nail into the wall to hang the heavy shelving unit.
