Joist Hangers

Joist hangers are indispensable components in construction, specifically designed to provide structural support and stability in framing systems. These metal brackets, typically made of galvanized steel for durability, cradle and secure wooden joists or beams to other structural elements, such as headers or ledger boards. Joist hangers enhance the structural integrity of a building by ensuring a secure and precisely aligned connection between the horizontal load-bearing members and the vertical supports. The installation process involves affixing the hangers to the supporting structure, and the joists are then inserted into the hanger, creating a reliable and load-bearing connection. Commonly used in floor and deck framing, joist hangers play a pivotal role in distributing loads evenly, preventing sagging or structural failure over time. Their efficiency and effectiveness make them an essential component in the construction of robust and durable buildings.
