Joist Hangers, Truss Clips, & Mini Hangers: Find the Best Fixing for Your Project
When it comes to building a strong and reliable structure, choosing the right metalwork is crucial. Whether you’re working on a large construction site or a smaller job, joist hangers, truss clips, and even mini joist hangers play a key role in ensuring everything stays in place and performs as it should.
At Speedy Fixings, we supply a large range of these essential products, designed to provide maximum stability and support for all types of construction projects.
Stability and Damp Prevention
Joist hangers are vital for providing extra support and stability to ceiling, decking, and floor timber joists. They ensure the structural integrity of your build by evenly distributing weight and preventing movement over time. A lesser-known benefit is that they also help prevent damp from penetrating the ends of timber joists, which can lead to rot and weakening.
At Speedy Fixings, we stock a wide selection of joist hangers to suit various project needs:
– Face-Fix Joist Hangers for simple and quick installation on timber structures.
– Wrap-Over Joist Hangers for added strength by wrapping over the timber.
– Built-in Masonry Joist Hangers for securing joists into brick or block walls.
– Truss Clips, essential for securing roof trusses to walls or beams.
– Mini Joist Hangers are useful for smaller applications such as trimmers and ceiling joists.
Each type of hanger offers a specific solution to ensure your joists are well-supported, helping maintain the longevity of the structure.
Truss Clips: Critical for Roof Stability
Truss clips are indispensable for roof projects, providing a secure connection between roof trusses and wall plates or beams. In high-wind areas or heavy-load applications, truss clips are essential for maintaining the stability of the roof structure. Without them, roofs can be vulnerable to movement, which can weaken the overall construction.
Our truss clips are ideal for:
– Residential Roof Installations, providing stability and safety.
– Commercial and Industrial Roofs, where added strength is necessary for large spans.
What Are Mini Joist Hangers?
For projects where space is limited, Speedy Fixings mini joist hangers are the perfect solution. The MHA (Mini Hanger Adjustable) is a galvanised hanger that works with regularised timber, rough sawn timber, I-joists, and LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber). It’s designed for small timber sections like trimmers and ceiling joists but still offers excellent load-bearing capacity.
These are ideal for:
– Timber-Framed Garden Projects such as pergolas or sheds.
– Small-Scale Construction like staircases, home renovations, or DIY builds.
Mini joist hangers offer the same reliability as full-size joist hangers, but in a more compact form, perfect for jobs where space and precision are important.
Choosing the Right Fixing for Your Project
Selecting the right joist hanger or truss clip for your project is critical for ensuring safety and long-lasting performance. Consider:
– The load your structure needs to support.
– The type of material you’re using (such as timber or masonry).
– The environment, such as indoor or outdoor, where protection from damp and corrosion might be needed.
Speedy Fixings offers everything from standard to heavy-duty options, ensuring you can find the right solution for your specific needs.
