Mini Timber Hangers
Mini timber hangers provide a compact and economical solution for light duty timber-to-timber connections such as ceiling joists, decking and loft hatch framing.
Mini Timber Hangers
Mini timber hangers are designed to provide a small and economical fixing solution for light duty timber-to-timber connections. They are commonly used when supporting smaller joists or timber members where a compact joist hanger is required.
These hangers are typically used in applications such as ceiling joists, loft hatches, decking frames and trimming work where a lightweight structural fixing is sufficient.
Manufactured from pre-galvanised steel, mini timber hangers offer good corrosion resistance and are suitable for most internal structural timber applications. For environments where higher corrosion resistance is required, stainless steel options may be used.
The design includes a small locating tag on the base of the hanger which helps prevent rotation during installation and ensures the joist remains correctly aligned within the bracket.
Mini timber joist hangers provide a simple and cost-effective solution for supporting smaller timber members while maintaining a strong and reliable connection between the joist and supporting timber.
Typical Mini Timber Hanger Sizes
Selecting the correct hanger size ensures the joist fits securely within the bracket and transfers the load safely into the supporting timber member.
| Joist Size W x H (mm) | Typical Applications |
|---|---|
| 38 x 100 – 38 x 150 | Ceiling joists and lightweight timber framing |
| 47 x 100 – 47 x 150 | Decking frames and light structural joists |
| 47 x 175 | Loft hatch trimming and small structural timber work |
When to Use Mini Timber Hangers
Mini timber hangers are typically used when working with smaller joists or lightweight timber structures where a compact joist hanger is sufficient.
Common uses include:
- ceiling joists
- decking frames
- loft hatch construction
- timber trimming work
For larger joists or heavier structural loads, standard timber hangers or long leg timber hangers may be more suitable.
