LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) offers consistent moisture content, resists warping, splitting and shrinking and it is manufactured to disperse the defects found in natural wood, such as knots, rot and voids, thus minimizing their effect on overall life cycle performance. LVL is most often made from wood from often wasted smaller, faster-growing trees.
Joist hangers are designed to provide support underneath the joist, rafter or beam to provide a strong a connection. Simpson Strong-Tie offers a diverse line of hangers to handle almost any application with top flange, concealed flange and field skewable and slopeable options. LUS joist hangers provide a connection between a joist and header.
All hangers in this series have double shear nailing - an innovation that distributes the load through two points on each joist nail for greater strength. This allows for fewer nails, faster installation, and the use of all common nails for the same connection.
