We offer a variety of joist hangers suited for a variety of uses.
Face Mount Joist Hangers
These are our standard and most popular joist hangers because of their holding strength and aesthetic appeal. Main uses are for supporting floors, decks, beams, and other general framing structures.
Concealed Joist Hangers
Much like our face mount hangers, but the flange mounts are designed to be hidden behind the support beam. This is designed for those who aren't in love with the industrial finish of a typical hanger.
Angled Joist Hangers
Designed to hold angled beams and joists. We offer hangers that hold up and down rood pitches and side angled joists.
Knife Plate Joist Hangers
Our knife plates are made to be almost completely hidden. Designed for an easy installation of a joist or beam to sit up against the side of a post. This option does require a few extra cuts to the beam.
Joist hangers a very important structural member of any timber frame building. It not only adds a ton of strength to joist connections, but it can add an aesthetic appeal to unappealing areas.
Joist hangers come in all different shaped and sizes because they all serve different purposes. We mostly designed our hangers to be decorative joist hangers, but they can also add some needed shear strength.
Installing a Joist hanger is simple. The ideal way to install a hanger is by fastening it into the wall first (or wherever you are connecting the supported joist to). Once your hanger is secured to the wall, you can slide the joist into the bracket and fasten it into place.
Some hangers are more complicated to install than others. Just remember to fasten screws in the areas that won't be accessible after the joist is set into place.
