Samac New Range of Fixings: Built for Speed, Efficiency and Reliability

Samac is expanding its range with productivity in mind, offering products designed to save installation time and improve efficiency without compromising reliable, professional results across roofing, timber construction, and general building work. Whether it's fixing structural timber, cutting through tough materials or creating long-lasting weatherproof details, having the right products can make all the difference on site.

Samac Fixings continues to strengthen its reputation as a trusted supplier to independent merchants, expanding its portfolio with a range of innovative, trade-focused products. Alongside established favourites such as the Viper V-Tooth Drill Bits, Diamond Blades and Rooftec Flex Plus, the company has recently introduced the new Viper PPN Nails and Performance Range Flat Head Structural Screws. 

Designed with performance, reliability and ease of use in mind, these additions provide practical solutions that help tradespeople work more efficiently, enhance durability and achieve high-quality results on every job.

Viper PPN Nails: Expanding a Trusted Fastening Range

The Viper brand is already well known throughout the trade for its collated nail systems and site-proven performance. Building on that reputation, Samac has introduced its new Viper PPN Nails, offering contractors another dependable fastening solution within a familiar and trusted range.

For professionals, consistency is crucial. Products that work seamlessly with existing tools and systems reduce downtime and increase productivity. The expansion of the Viper range allows merchants and installers to source fastening solutions from a trusted, recognised brand, simplifying product selection and stock management.

The new 35 x 3.4mm electro-galvanised hardened twist nails have been developed to provide installers with improved withdrawal resistance, increased shear strength and reliable performance when fixing structural metal connectors to timber. The hardened twist shank design provides enhanced withdrawal resistance, helping to reduce the risk of pull-out while delivering the holding power and strength required for structural applications. Manufactured from hardened steel, the nails are engineered to resist bending when driven through steel connectors and into timber. Viper Collated Hardened Twist Nails offer a faster, more efficient alternative to manually hammering individual square twist nails. The collated format helps installers complete fixing tasks quickly and accurately, reducing installation time, improving productivity and minimising fatigue on site.

Viper V-Tooth Drill Bits and Diamond Blades: Precision Meets Durability

Power tool accessories are often overlooked, yet they can have a huge impact on productivity. That is why Samac's recently launched Viper Power Tool Accessories range is generating attention across the industry. Designed specifically for demanding trade environments, the range includes the innovative V-Tooth Drill Bits and high-performance Diamond Blades.

The V-Tooth hard tile drill bits feature a patented tungsten carbide tip designed to provide fast starts, precise drilling and clean results through hard materials including tile, marble and stone. They are particularly useful for roofing, where accuracy is essential.

The accompanying diamond blades are engineered for efficient cutting performance and durability, helping contractors tackle challenging materials with confidence. As part of the wider Viper accessories range, installers can choose products suited to different levels of usage through Samac's simple four-tier classification system: Trade, Core, Pro and Expert.

For Roofbase customers, this means access to accessories that are designed not only to perform but also to provide clear guidance on which product best suits the task at hand.

Performance Range Flat Head Structural Screws: Built for Strength

Structural timber construction continues to grow across residential, commercial and landscaping projects, increasing demand for high-performance fixing solutions. Samac's Performance Range Flat Head Structural Screws have been developed to meet those requirements while providing a neat, flush finish. They incorporate several features that make installation faster and more efficient. These include a Type 17 point designed to reduce driving torque, serrated milling threads for enhanced penetration, and an ACQ-resistant coating for improved durability. In many timber applications, pre-drilling isn't required, helping reduce installation time.

Additionally, the screws offer up to 1,500 hours of salt spray resistance, making them suitable for demanding environments where corrosion protection is important. For contractors working on structural timber, landscaping projects or general construction applications, they provide a practical combination of strength, speed and reliability.

Rooftec Flex Plus: A Modern Alternative to Traditional Lead

Roofing professionals are increasingly seeking alternatives to traditional lead that are easier to install, environmentally responsible and less vulnerable to theft. Samac's Rooftec Flex Plus has been developed specifically to meet those needs.

Manufactured from EPDM rubber and reinforced with an expanded aluminium mesh core, Rooftec Flex Plus provides a highly flexible, durable solution for roofing details including chimneys, abutments, dormers, and skylights. Its self-adhesive design bonds securely to a wide range of building materials and creates a watertight seal without additional tapes or sealants in many applications.

The product's flexibility makes installation straightforward, while its lightweight construction improves on-site handling. Available in several widths, it offers versatility across a wide variety of roofing projects.

In addition to its practical installation benefits, Rooftec Flex Plus offers excellent UV resistance, is fully recyclable and has no scrap value, reducing the risk of theft. With a reported life expectancy exceeding 40 years and backed by a 15-year guarantee, it delivers long-term confidence for installers and property owners alike.
