Joist hanger I-I

Light beam, I-beam or masonite beam is a beam consisting of solid flanges and a web of a 10 mm thick OSB or chipboard. This saves up to 47% of raw materials compared to solid beams and joists, which is good for reducing our environmental impact. But the lightweight beam also has many other advantages.

Less material also makes the beams much lighter and contributes to a better working environment for carpenters without compromising on quality and strength.

At Joma, we constantly work to reduce our and others’ environmental impact. Therefore, we have developed a completely new range of joist hangers adapted for light beams. The joist hangers are adapted to fasten the light beams both with and without web reinforcements.

The joist hangers are available in two different models, S-I and I-I. S-I stands for “Solid – I-beam” which are developed for when you have a solid primary beam and I-beam as secondary. The upper tabs on the S-I can easily be bent up so that they become straight if you want to attach the beam shoe in the middle of a secondary beam and not line the upper edge.

Model I-I stands for “I-beam – I-beam”, which means that there is an I-beam both as primary and secondary. I-I must enclose the primary beam of I-beam both above and below and therefore requires that primary and secondary are of the same height (but not the same width).
