Stainless Steel Staples & Flooring Cleats

Stainless Steel Staples

When building outdoors, especially in coastal environments, stainless steel staples are preferred. This will ensure that the staples will retain structural integrity and last without needing to be replaced. You can also rest assured that there will not be an issue with staining or streaking that you are likely to run into with standard galvanized staples.

¼" Staples can be used for drawers, cabinetry, lattice and underlayments.

• Cabinets- staples are a reliable and efficient way to fasten the backing onto cabinet frames, and are used also to build the drawers.
• Lattice- Can be made of wood or vinyl and are used to edge decks, flower beds, porches, and gardens. Using stainless staples prevents bleeding into the wood or streaking.
• Underlayment- Installing with staples is quick and easy. They simplify the process even more by not requiring setting or filling.

7/16" staples are commonly used for sheathing, siding, crates, and subflooring.

• Sheathing- This heavy-duty 7/16" crown staple is preferred for sheathing. They are typically more cost-efficient than nails and simple to install.
• Siding- Use these staples for installing siding. Staples will be easier to use to fasten than nails and the larger diameter crown will allow more leeway while still holding correctly even if not installed exactly centered. The stapler is easy to use and is more forgiving, making it a perfect choice, especially for beginners.
• Crate- Staples are a simple and efficient way to assemble crates and pallets. The adhesive that holds the staples together in a strip, once installed also helps keep it from withdrawing from the wood.
• Subflooring- Staples are widely used to install engineered flooring and some prefer it to fasten hardwood flooring to plywood subflooring. Their affordability, ease of use, and availability are a few reasons why this is a fastener of choice for many installers.
