Masonry Joist Hanger – Galvanised Steel – Residential & Commercial Support

Product Overview

The standard masonry joist hanger is designed for connecting timber joists to masonry or concrete blockwork, ensuring a secure, load-bearing support where timber meets structural walls. Manufactured from 2mm thick galvanized steel, it offers excellent rigidity and long-term corrosion protection under normal internal or sheltered external conditions.

Its precision-formed side flanges ensure consistent fit and alignment, maintaining correct joist positioning during installation. Suitable for medium load applications in domestic and light commercial floor or roof structures, it offers a robust seat profile to distribute load evenly across the bearing surface.
