What nail size should be used for plain tiles?

Answer 1

I'm not sure that hammering a nail into a tile is a good idea! Or are you talking about roof tiles? More info needed for a better answer.

Answer 2

My first of the day and already I'm confused.

Define "TILES" forget that they are plain.

What is the substance of the "TILE"???

I assume you might have very little experience with trying to hammer a nail through anything made essentially of glass.

What possible reasons do you have for nailing anything that might be a floor or wall covering, or for counter tops?

I'd like to know more details.

Answer 3

This is dependant upon the weight of the tiles (usually quoted per m2 as laid) and the size of the battens being used.

If you have the tile type and batten size I may be able to look this up.

An alternative would be look-up the fixing specs for your tile type on the manufacturer's web page.

50 mm or 60mm calvanised nails with a large head depending on tile thickness
