Types of Timber Connectors for Engineered Wood Products

Various timber connectors are available to suit different types of engineered wood products and applications. These include:

  • Metal Plates and Joist Hangers: Commonly used in residential and commercial construction for connecting beams and joists, ensuring strong and reliable connections.
  • Bolts and Screws: High-strength bolts and screws are essential for heavy-duty applications, such as in CLT or glulam structures, where high load-bearing capacities are required.
  • Brackets and Anchors: Used to secure timber to other materials, such as concrete or steel, providing additional stability and resistance to movement.

Ensuring Structural Integrity: The Importance of Dindas Timber Structural Connectors and Joist Hangers in Construction

Dindas Structural Timber Connectors, like I-Joist hangers, play a crucial role in supporting the weight of the joists and preventing them from bending or bowing. In fact, using joist hangers whenever possible is recommended to ensure your project will receive the Dindas Australia certification that meets the Australian Construction Standards.

Whether it’s a deck or any other wood structure, we advise using joist hangers to ensure the beams are stable and upright for a strong and durable final product. 

Rest assured that you won’t have to worry about choosing the correct Joist Hanger or compatible fasteners. At Dindas Australia, we offer all the necessary hardware and core products. This means you’ll receive everything you need to finish your project quickly and efficiently when you purchase a floor system.
