Wirehangers – Zinc

Zinc wire hangers are a standard fixing in the suspended ceiling trade, used specifically to anchor suspension wires to concrete beams overhead. Timco’s zinc wire hangers are manufactured from all-steel construction, making them non-flammable and fully compliant with BS 7671 18th Edition. That edition of the wiring regs requires wiring systems and their supports to be fixed using materials unlikely to collapse prematurely in a fire, and these hangers meet that requirement directly.

If you’re fitting suspended ceilings in commercial or public buildings, fire compliance isn’t optional. Using the wrong fixing can fail an inspection or, more seriously, contribute to structural failure during a fire. These wire hangers remove that concern. They’re purpose-built for the job, not a workaround using general fixings that happen to be nearby on the van.

Where Zinc Wire Hangers Fit Into a Suspended Ceiling Install

In a standard suspended ceiling system, the grid hangs from suspension wires, and those wires need to be anchored firmly to the structural soffit above. On concrete beam construction, zinc wire hangers provide the anchor point. The hanger engages with the beam, the suspension wire attaches to it, and the grid load transfers upward cleanly and securely.

Sold in boxes of 100, they’re suited to professional installers working across multiple rooms or an entire floor plate. Running short of hangers mid-job is the kind of thing that adds an unnecessary trip to the merchant. A box of 100 covers a reasonable area and keeps the job moving without interruption.

The zinc finish provides corrosion resistance suited to most interior environments, including areas with moderate humidity. The all-steel body means no risk of melting or deforming under heat, which is exactly what the BS 7671 18th Edition requirement is designed to address. Straightforward to install, compliant with current standards, and sold in a trade-friendly pack size. That’s what you need from a fixing.
