Heavy Duty Face Fix Joist Hangers

Heavy Duty Face Fix Joist Hangers

Heavy duty face fix joist hangers provide a strong and versatile solution for supporting timber joists where access to the top of the supporting beam or steel member is not available. These hangers allow the joist to be fixed directly to the face of the supporting structure, creating a secure structural connection.

The Timco multi-functional hanger range is designed for structural timber applications where additional strength and installation flexibility are required. Because they can be installed using a range of structural fixings, they provide a practical solution when traditional joist hangers cannot be installed from above.

Manufactured from pre-galvanised steel, these joist hangers provide strong corrosion resistance and reliable structural performance in timber framing, floor construction and renovation work.

Note: Overall length refers to the length of the hanger when laid flat.

Standard Sizes for Face Fix Joist Hangers

Selecting the correct hanger size ensures the joist fits securely within the bracket and transfers the structural load safely into the supporting beam or steel member.

What Are Heavy Duty Joist Hangers Used For?

Heavy duty joist hangers are used when timber joists require a stronger fixing or when installation access is limited. They allow joists to be fixed securely to timber beams or steel members while providing reliable structural support.

They are commonly used in:

• structural timber floor joists
• timber framing installations
• loft conversions
• renovation and structural repair work
• timber to steel connections

How to Install Face Fix Joist Hangers Safely

Face fix joist hangers are installed directly onto the supporting beam or steel member using appropriate structural fixings.

Basic installation steps include:

• Position the hanger accurately on the face of the supporting beam
• Secure the hanger using the recommended structural nails or screws
• Insert the timber joist into the hanger bracket
• Complete the fixing using all required fixing holes

Always ensure the correct hanger size and fixings are selected for the structural load requirements.

How to Choose the Right Heavy Duty Joist Hanger

When selecting a heavy duty joist hanger, consider:

• the width and depth of the timber joist
• the structural load requirements
• whether the hanger will be fixed to timber or steel
• the installation method and available fixing access

Choosing the correct hanger size helps ensure the joist fits securely within the bracket and transfers load safely into the supporting structure.
