TIMco Stainless Steel Masonry Hanger Box of 6

The TIMco Stainless Steel Masonry Hanger is a welded joist support bracket designed to carry timber joists directly from a brick or block wall. These are a standard fixture on new-build and renovation projects where a timber floor or roof structure needs to bear onto masonry without the use of a traditional built-in pocket. Using a masonry hanger keeps the joist end accessible, allows for some movement, and avoids the damp issues that come with burying timber in a wall.

These hangers are manufactured from stainless steel, which makes them the right choice where corrosion resistance matters. That includes external or semi-exposed applications, treated timber environments, and anywhere close to moisture where a standard galvanised hanger would eventually let you down. Stainless will outlast the structure it is installed in without pitting, rusting, or staining the surrounding masonry.

TIMco Masonry Hanger Sizes and What They’re For

The range covers two flange widths: 47mm and 100mm. These correspond to the two most common joist widths used in UK timber construction. The 47mm hanger suits standard regularised C16 and C24 carcassing timber, while the 100mm version is used where wider engineered joists or doubled-up sections are in play.

Depth options run from 100mm up to 215mm, covering the full range of joist depths typically encountered on domestic and light commercial work. One important manufacturing detail worth knowing: any hanger with an opening above 150mm is made 10mm shallower than the nominal depth. This is intentional. It allows the joist to be notched at the top edge, which brings the top face of the joist level with the top of the hanger and makes laying a floor deck or roofing structure straightforward without shimming or packing.

Each box contains 6 hangers, which works well for ordering by the run of joists on a floor or ceiling. If you know your joist spacing, you can work out your box count quickly without a lot of offcuts sitting in the van.

Where Stainless Steel Masonry Hangers Are Used

Masonry hangers of this type are used wherever a timber joist or beam needs to be supported from a solid masonry wall rather than sitting in a built-in pocket or on a timber wall plate. Common applications include suspended timber ground floors, first-floor joists bearing onto external cavity walls, flat roof structures, and extension work where an existing masonry wall forms part of the structural perimeter. The stainless construction makes them particularly useful in areas of high exposure, including coastal builds, swimming pool buildings, and any project using preservative-treated timber where the treatment chemistry can attack standard zinc coatings over time.
