Joist Hangers
Joist hangers support and connect wooden joists to other elements of the building, usually load bearing walls. These are usually made from galvanised steel or stainless steel and come in various shapes and sizes.
Joist hangers have a load bearing capacity and are designed to support specific loads. The manufacturer usually specifies the load bearing capacity, and this should not be exceeded.
Nails or screws are used to secure joust hangers. Hangers are usually installed with nails or screws that are compatible with the hanger’s material e.g., galvanised nails for galvanised hangers. Always follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Bradfords supply a wide range of leading joist hangers, many of these are available for next day delivery or dame day collection from your local branch.
