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 great choice 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.
For any project, please remember to refer to local building codes to confirm which fasteners are acceptable.
