Metal Hangers

Importance of Metal Hangers

Metal hangers play a vital role in supporting joists and beams within floor and roof systems. By providing a mechanically strong and stable connection, they ensure that load paths are properly maintained and distributed throughout the structure.

These connectors are engineered to resist vertical, lateral, and uplift forces, making them essential for maintaining the performance of both lightweight and heavy-duty framing systems. Their consistent, tested load-bearing capacity makes them a preferred choice for professional builders and engineers.

Thanks to precision manufacturing and corrosion-resistant finishes, metal hangers offer long-term reliability while simplifying installation in timber and hybrid construction.

Metal Hanger Types

Metal hangers come in a variety of configurations to suit different framing methods, joist orientations, and load requirements:

  • Joist Hangers: The most common type, used to support timber joists in floor and roof systems where end-bearing support is required.
  • Face-Mount Hangers: Installed onto beams or ledger boards, providing strong lateral and vertical support without needing to notch the timber.
  • Top-Flange Hangers: Designed to sit atop beams or girders, allowing joists to be supported from above while maintaining a flush ceiling or roof line.
  • Adjustable Hangers: Flexible configurations for non-standard joist widths or retrofitting into existing structures during renovations.
  • Heavy-Duty Hangers: Reinforced hangers for larger spans, engineered timber, or high-load commercial framing systems.

Applications of Metal Hangers

Metal hangers are widely used across indoor construction for supporting timber and engineered wood framing systems:

  • Residential Construction: Commonly used to support floor joists, rafters, and ceiling systems, ensuring stable, code-compliant framing in homes and small buildings.
  • Commercial Buildings: Employed in larger structures where high loads are expected, offering reliable support for engineered timber, LVL, and glulam beams.
  • Renovations & Additions: Ideal for reinforcing or modifying existing frames, allowing new joists or beams to be added without compromising the original structure.
  • Mezzanine Floors & Platforms: Provide strong, repeatable connections for intermediate floors and indoor platforms in warehouses and commercial interiors.

With their proven strength and ease of installation, metal hangers remain one of the most dependable solutions for supporting joists and beams in modern indoor construction.
