The Simpson Strong-Tie Connectors for Glulam Timber range is a heavy-duty selection of structural-grade steel hangers, column shoes, and high-capacity brackets engineered specifically to support glued laminated timber (glulam) beams. Because glulam components carry substantially larger structural loads and feature distinct cross-sectional dimensions compared to standard sawn timber, they require specialized connectors capable of managing massive vertical downward forces and intense lateral stress. Formed from robust, thick-gauge steel with premium corrosion-resistant finishes, this high-performance range ensures an unyielding mechanical connection interface across large-span roof layouts, commercial open-plan spaces, and architectural timber frames.
Optimised Glulam Sizing
Manufactured with specialized internal pocket widths and extra-deep side flanges configured to match standard glulam dimensions precisely. This ensures a snug structural fit that prevents beam rotation and maximizes joint stability without onsite alteration.
Elite Load-Transfer Engineering
Featuring heavy-duty fastening fields pre-punched for structural screws, bolts, or dowels. This allows the massive dead and live loads managed by glulam engineering to be distributed safely and uniformly into supporting columns, masonry, or steel framing paths.
