Drugget Nails

Drugget nails - also known as tufting nails or carpet fastening nails - are the small, decorative nails traditionally used to secure and finish the edges of druggets and carpet borders in period and heritage properties. At the DIY Hardware Store, these are available for the restoration, joinery, and period property applications where this traditional fixing type is the correct and authentic choice.

Drugget nails typically feature a round, flat-headed profile with a short, fine shank designed to pass through the carpet or floor covering border and fix into the timber floor beneath without splitting. The head sits cleanly on the surface, providing a neat, evenly spaced line of fastenings along the carpet edge that are part of the visible finish rather than something to be concealed. They're also used in upholstery and heritage furniture restoration where the exposed nail head is part of the decorative detail. Available in brass-effect and antique finishes at the DIY Hardware Store.
