   Wire Tile Hooks are designed to secure the nose end of roofing tiles on steep slopes and in areas designated as high wind zones.
    The #106 Wire Tile Hook comes in two distinct styles, (one for clay, one for concrete), and in two sizes,(for each style), that preset the tiles designated headlap, (3 or 4 inches).
    Tile Hooks are used on nail down, screwed, and wired tiling applications. An adaptation of the Wire Tile Hook, is the wire fastener known as the "Variable" Tile Hook.. This version is designed with a fastener, (Nail, screw, wire), receiving end and a long straight end of wire, that is used to bend back over the tile. This is a very popular method for securing the nose ends of an existing tile roof that may be experiencing wind related issues and for tying in new tiles when replacing broken tiles.

    The base incorporates three fastener holes that allow the hook to be pushed forward to create a longer headlap, or pulled back, to shorten or adjust the headlap set of a course.    This base also extends beyond the nail hole of the tile, this reduces the amount of lift that can occur with a wire device. The #109 has tested to show greater resistance to uplift forces than any other style of nose hook or side clipping device currently in use.

   The Hook Nail is the ultimate nailed fastener for the installation of tile. Manufactured from .135 diameter wire of various alloys, the Hook Nail is the most effective wood deck fastener available.
  • The nail end is approximately 6 inches away from the tile, this assures no accidental hammer to tile contact when nailing.
  • When specified with a hook , the headlap is automatically set at the required measurement; i.e. 3 or 4 inches.
  • If wind should create lift to the nose of the tile, the hook will rise slightly with the tile, causing the long shaft to bow downward to the deck, thus forcing the nail end to stay into the deck.
  • The fastener end is easily sealed with a membrane compatible mastic

   The #108 Hook Nail is the most effective fastener for steep pitch designs, such as mansard roofs. The Hook Nail is also used in high wind designated areas for securing the first course of 2-piece cap and pan tiles. A version of this fastener is also available without the hook. Known as the "No-Hook Nail " Nail. The No-Hook Nail is a cost effective alternate to standard nail and wire method.
