Product Applications

Great for renovations where a new ceiling is needed but the old ceiling is a weaker construction and can’t hold the weight. New ceiling beams can be elastically suspended using the joist hanger VT-JH, and the weight transfered to the walls.

Installation guidelines

The joist hangers are mechanically fixed to the wall and wooden beams are mounted into the hangers. Please note that the beams should not be screwed as this will cause acoustic bridging. It is also necessary to have a gap of 3-5 mm between the wall and the end of the wooden beam.
