Galvanised Single Piece Masonry Hangers Box of 10

Masonry hangers are the straightforward way to support timber joists directly from a brick or block wall without the need for a wall plate or additional steelwork. These single piece galvanised masonry hangers are pressed from pre-galvanised steel in one form, meaning there are no welds to fail and no hidden weak points. The straight top flange sits cleanly into the mortar course during brickwork, and the joist drops into the cradle once the wall has been built up around it.

Manufactured from pre-galvanised steel, these hangers carry a high level of corrosion resistance suited to the damp and variable conditions that come with masonry construction. Whether the wall is going up from scratch or the hanger is being built in during a renovation, the galvanised finish means the fixing will perform for the life of the structure without any additional treatment.

Where Masonry Hangers Fit Into the Build

These hangers are designed for use in timber floor and ceiling joist construction where the joists bear onto a brick or block wall. The hanger is laid into the mortar bed as the wall is built, with the flange pointing outward. Once the brickwork has cured, the joist sits in the hanger and is fixed through the pre-punched nail holes in the sides.

Six depth sizes are available, running from 47x100mm through to 47x225mm, covering the most common regularised and sawn timber joist depths used in domestic and commercial construction. It is worth noting that hangers above 150mm are manufactured 10mm shorter than the nominal joist depth. This allows for notching and accounts for regularised timber tolerances, so the joist sits correctly without the hanger forcing the timber proud of the flange line.

Sizing and Timber Compatibility

The 47mm width suits standard 47mm sawn or regularised timber joists, which remain the most common section used across housebuilding and extension work. If you are working with 45mm planed timber rather than sawn, check the fit before building in, as the hanger width is matched to the sawn section. The available depths cover 100mm, 125mm, 150mm, 175mm, 200mm, and 225mm joists, so you should find the right size for most standard floor and flat roof constructions without having to source non-standard fixings.

Sold in boxes of 10, these masonry hangers suit both small jobs and larger floor builds where you are running a consistent joist spacing throughout. For a typical domestic extension floor, a single box will often cover a good run of joists at 400mm or 600mm centres, depending on the span. Stock a couple of boxes and you will not find yourself short mid-build, which is rarely a good position to be in when the bricklayer is waiting to carry on.
