Simpson Glulam Beam Joist Hangers

Simpson Concealed Glulam Beam Hangers (Model CBH): Hidden-style hangers that provide a clean architectural look while delivering strong, load-bearing connections for glulam beams. Ideal for exposed beam applications where aesthetics are important.

Simpson Glulam Beam Hangers (Models HU, HUC, HUCQ, HGUS): Heavy-duty face-mount hangers designed to accommodate the wider dimensions of glulam beams. Available in standard, concealed-flange, quick-install, and extra-heavy versions to match structural and design requirements.

Simpson Glulam Beam Hangers

Glulam beam hangers are engineered to handle the size, strength, and weight of glued laminated timber (Glulam). These heavy-duty connectors give builders the structural support needed for framing applications that demand high load capacity and stability. Designed to fit the wider dimensions of Glulam beams, they deliver both strength and long-term reliability in residential, commercial, and industrial construction.

Simpson Concealed Glulam Beam Hangers (CBH Series)

For projects where appearance matters as much as strength, concealed Glulam hangers provide hidden support without sacrificing structural integrity. They allow for clean, architectural finishes in exposed timber framing while still meeting code requirements for engineered wood.

Simpson Glulam Beam Hangers (HU, HUC, HUCQ, HGUS Series)

Face-mount Glulam hangers are the go-to choice for visible, high-capacity beam connections. Built from galvanized steel and precision-engineered for heavy loads, these hangers install easily and provide reliable connections for joists, beams, and other framing members in large-scale projects.

Key Benefits of Glulam Beam Hangers
  • Purpose-built for laminated timber beams with wider dimensions and greater strength
  • High load-bearing capacity for demanding framing applications
  • Manufactured from heavy-gauge galvanized steel for durability and corrosion resistance
  • Pre-punched holes allow fast, accurate installation with nails, bolts, or screws
  • Meets or exceeds code standards for engineered wood construction
  • Versatile enough for decks, bridges, commercial framing, and exposed timber projects
Applications
  • Residential and commercial framing requiring strong beam-to-beam or beam-to-column connections
  • Exposed architectural designs where hidden hardware is preferred
  • Large-scale engineered wood projects such as bridges and heavy decking systems
  • Projects requiring both seismic and fire-rated performance

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Simpson Glulam Beam Hangers different from standard joist hangers?

Glulam hangers are engineered to fit the wider and often custom dimensions of glulam beams. They distribute loads evenly across the beam and meet higher structural demands than standard solid sawn joist hangers.

What are the main differences between HU, HUC, HUCQ, and HGUS glulam hangers?

  • HU: Standard heavy-duty face-mount hanger.
  • HUC: Concealed-flange version for tighter spacing and a cleaner look.
  • HUCQ: Quick-install hanger designed for easier, faster setup.
  • HGUS: Extra-heavy-duty hanger for large loads and structural applications.

What materials are Glulam beam hangers made from?

They’re manufactured from heavy-gauge galvanized steel to deliver long-term strength and durability.

What’s the main difference between face-mount and concealed Glulam hangers?

Face-mount hangers provide visible, straightforward connections. Concealed hangers hide the hardware for a cleaner look, often used in exposed timber framing.

What fasteners are required for CBH, and what happens if the fasteners used differ?

CBH requires specified Simpson Strong-Tie SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws for many installations. Using non-specified fasteners (wrong size, type, spacing, edge distance) can significantly reduce capacity or compromise the connection under load or fire.
