Joist hangers are essential structural connectors that provide secure, load-bearing support for timber joists in floors, ceilings, decks, and roofing applications. These galvanised metal brackets transfer loads safely to supporting beams or masonry, ensuring your construction meets building regulations while delivering long-term structural integrity.
Our Range of Timber Support Hangers
McMahons stocks a comprehensive selection of hanger types to suit every structural requirement:
- Standard face-fix hangers for straightforward joist-to-beam connections, available in multiple widths to accommodate common timber sizes from 38mm to 100mm.
- Heavy-duty welded hangers designed for higher load capacities in commercial and multi-storey residential applications where performance is critical.
- Concealed or mini hangers offering a discreet fixing solution where aesthetics matter, ideal for exposed beam work.
- Speedy hangers with pre-punched nail holes for rapid installation on timber-to-timber connections.
- Masonry hangers featuring built-in straps for secure fixing directly into blockwork or brickwork without the need for separate restraint straps.

Selecting the correct hanger depends on your joist dimensions, the load requirements, and whether you're fixing to timber or masonry. Always check the manufacturer's load tables and ensure your chosen hanger matches your timber width precisely: undersized hangers compromise structural performance and won't pass building control inspection.
