Which Joist Hangers Are Right For You?

You know you need to buy joist hangers. But with so many options to choose from, which is the right one for you? Here’s our guide..

Load

Load is always the first consideration when buying joist hangers and, in addition to determining size, it may also determine the type. Our Simpson face fix joint hangers, for example, will typically support a lesser down load than a top-flange mount, but they won’t demand the same sort of access requirements that a top-flange hanger will.

Our face fix joist hangers will also typically have higher uplift loads and you can install them once the joist is in place.

Bear in mind also that the load tolerances of each joist hanger will vary depending on the materials being used.

Design

The plans may call for innovative angles, sloping roofs and adventurous flying buttresses, but when you’re the one bringing the plans to life, you’ll welcome a little help. That’s where our skewed joist hangers, sloped joint hangers and mini joist hangers come in, giving you the construction freedom to escape the traditional right angle.

Some of our timber joist hangers are available with a set slope of 45°. Others are adjustable, enabling you to achieve custom angles as required. For additional support, our ‘Strong Tie’ adjustable Simpson joist hangers provide maximum support for wood, composite timber and even concrete and steel.

Tradefix Direct supplies sloped and skewed joist hangers across the UK, at competitive trade prices.

Materials

You’ll need to use different joist hangers depending on the materials you are connecting. Timber to timber joist hangers will differ from timber to masonry joist hangers in a range of ways (not least the fact that they’re typically designed for heavier loads). Most notably, masonry joist hangers will typically have wide top flanges to increase the contact surface area.

Some, such as our Simpson Strong Tie joist hangers, feature embossed top flanges to increase their ability to key to mortar.

In contrast, our galvanised mini joist hangers are ideal for lighter applications including timber trim, rectangular section ceiling joists, and even decking.
