Features and Benefits: Bear in mind also that the load tolerances for each will vary depending on the materials that you use. When a large span has to be covered (usually in a roof space) it is practical to insert an RSJ across two load bearing walls to break the long span into shorter distances. This allows the support from the floor to be minimal leading to greater sized rooms. Fixing joists to RSJ’s however, is not so easy without joist hangers. When they are added retrospectively to a building, to carry a new floor or roof perhaps, a horizontal chase is cut in the wall (usually with a disc cutter) and the masonry joist hanger is pushed in. The joint or chase must then be re-mortared to keep the strength in the wall. Heavy duty hangers, for larger load-bearing timbers do not have wrap over legs, they are, if required, bent over at manufacture to hang on the wall or, in some cases, to be inserted into a chase cut especially into the wall or wall joint.
