L shaped nail Hardwood Flooring Cleats help prevent floor squeaking

For hardwood flooring applications, we offer our FLN series 16 gauge L-shaped. This L shaped nail is manufactured similar to Stanley Bostitch nails. These 16 gauge flooring cleats are engineered with a ribbed shank to dramatically increase holding power and prevent floor squeaking. The 16 gauge L cleats we have on this page come in 1 1/2" and 2" lengths. The 1-1/2" flooring cleats are suitable for hardwood applications over concrete or radiant flooring, while 2” is typically used on 3/4" hardwood over wood-framed subfloors.

FastenerUSA's FLN series 16 gauge L-shaped Flooring Cleat Nails are available in two different grades of corrosion resistance including Brite (Non-Galvanized), and 304 Grade Stainless Steel:

Brite (Non-Galvanized) L shaped flooring cleats are best suited for interior flooring applications only. No corrosion resistance. Not recommended for ACQ Treated Lumber.

304 Grade Stainless Steel L shaped flooring cleats are best suited for typical outdoor applications to avoid nail corrosion and discoloration. ACQ-treated lumber, redwood, cedar, and acidic or oil-based exotic woods.

Our 16 gauge L cleats are made similar to PowerNail cleats so our L-shaped Cleats are made to fit a virtually every 16 gauge L shaped flooring nailer on the market today. Some of the more popular well-known brands are Bostitch, Porter Cable, Senco, Primatech, just to name a few.
