STRUCTURAL TIMBER CONNECTORS / CONCEALED BEAM HANGERS Simpson Strong-Tie BTALU90-B Concealed Aluminium Hanger The Simpson Strong-Tie BTALU90-B is a premium structural connecting system engineered to deliver high-capacity load resistance while maintaining a completely hidden, aesthetically pristine architectural finish. Specifically engineered for feature beam networks and exposed Glulam framing, this invisible hanger consists of a single-piece extruded aluminium body with a dedicated rear mounting flange and a prominent central vertical fin. The plate is secured directly flush to the carrying header timber before being slotted into a pre-cut core layout inside the incoming joist. Locked reliably in position with heavy-duty structural steel dowels, the BTALU system eliminates external ironwork visibility while guaranteeing exceptional joint rigidity across demanding engineering spans.

"The Company" refers to Metro Fixings (www.metrofixings.co.uk).
"The Buyer" refers to the corporate entity, firm, partnership, or individual purchasing Goods or Services from the Company.
"Goods" refers to any fixings, fasteners, building chemicals, tools, or other materials supplied by the Company.
"Services" refers to technical support, testing, tool calibration, or equipment hire provided by the Company ("Metro Hire").
"Contract" refers to the legally binding agreement between the Company and the Buyer for the sale and purchase of Goods and Services, incorporating these Terms and Conditions.
All quotations are given, and all orders are accepted by the Company exclusively subject to these Terms and Conditions. They shall override any alternative terms, conditions, or warranties stipulated, incorporated, or referred to by the Buyer, whether in the order form, specifications, or during negotiations.
No variation to these Terms shall be binding unless expressly agreed in writing and signed by an authorised director of the Company.
An order placed by the Buyer constitutes an offer to purchase. No contract comes into existence until the Company issues an official order acknowledgement or dispatches the Goods, whichever occurs first.
The Company maintains an active stock profile of approximately 35,000 product lines. While every effort is made to ensure live website inventory accuracy, the Company reserves the right to amend, substitute, or withdraw products without prior notice if manufacturer specifications alter.
Any technical advice, substrate guidance, load calculations, or specification suggestions provided by the Company (whether via the technical support desk, sales team, or digital platforms) is issued in good faith as a guide. It remains the ultimate responsibility of the Buyer’s structural engineers, site managers, or architects to verify that the Goods meet local building regulations, site compliance, and safety standards before installation.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the price of the Goods shall be the Company’s quoted price or, where no price has been quoted, the price listed on the Company’s e-commerce platform at the date of order acceptance.
All prices are exclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT), which shall be due at the prevailing rate, and exclusive of delivery charges unless the order qualifies for free delivery terms.
For Approved Trade Credit Account Holders: Payment is due strictly in accordance with the agreed credit terms, normally within 30 days from the end of the month of invoicing, unless specified otherwise in writing by the Company's finance desk.
For Non-Account Holders: Payment must be cleared in full via an authorised credit/debit card or electronic bank transfer before the Goods are dispatched.
The Company reserves the right to withdraw, suspend, or reduce the limit of any Trade Credit Account Facility at its absolute discretion at any time if the Buyer fails to make payments by the due date or if the Company's credit risk assessment shifts. Interest on overdue invoices shall accrue daily at a rate of 8% per annum above the Bank of England base rate from time to time in force.
Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods shall pass to the Buyer immediately upon delivery to the specified site address or upon collection from the Company's trade counter.
Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk, property and legal title in the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until the Company has received payment in full (in cleared funds) for those Goods and all other sums which are or which become due to the Company from the Buyer on any account.
Until title passes, the Buyer must store the Goods safely, preserve their original packaging, and clearly identify them as the Company’s property. The Company reserves the irrevocable right to enter any site or premises occupied by the Buyer to inspect or repossess the Goods if payment terms are breached.
The Company operates its own transport delivery fleet alongside premier national express carrier networks (such as DPD). Delivery dates and windows are estimates only, and time of delivery shall not be of the essence of the Contract.
Orders over £100 net (exclusive of VAT) qualify for free delivery within standard mainland UK zones. Orders under this threshold, or deliveries destined for international locations or high-tariff zones, will incur a transport surcharge.
The Company shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, or consequential loss, cost, damages, or site penalties (including liquidated damages or main contractor delays) caused directly or indirectly by a delay in delivery or a failure to deliver due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control ("Force Majeure").
The Buyer must provide safe, unobstructed access and adequate offloading facilities at the designated site delivery address.
The Buyer must inspect the Goods immediately upon arrival. Any claim for shortages, visible transit damage, or incorrect product supply must be notified to the Company's Customer Care team in writing within three (3) working days of delivery. Failure to notify within this timeframe shall constitute absolute acceptance of the shipment.
The Company offers a 30-day return policy for standard, unused, un-opened, resaleable stock items in their original packaging.
Bespoke fabrications, non-stock items ordered specialised to client specifications, and perishable building chemicals (such as expired or temperature-sensitive vinylester resins) are strictly non-returnable and non-refundable unless verified as defective by the manufacturer.
Where a defect is validated under the manufacturer's warranty, the Company’s liability shall be limited entirely, at its sole discretion, to replacing the defective Goods or issuing a credit note for the invoice value.
All machinery, power tools, testing gauges, and safety systems supplied under the Metro Hire banner remain the sole property of the Company.
The Hire Period commences when the equipment leaves the Company’s depot and terminates when a formal off-hire confirmation is issued or the equipment is safely returned to the Company’s custody.
The Buyer is strictly responsible for ensuring that all hired equipment is operated exclusively by fully trained, qualified personnel in accordance with HSE guidelines and manufacturer operating manuals.
The Buyer must maintain comprehensive insurance covering the full replacement value of the hired equipment against theft, loss, or accidental damage throughout the duration of the hire period. Any equipment returned damaged, uncleaned, or missing components will be subject to direct repair or replacement charges billed to the Buyer's account.
Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude the Company’s liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
Subject to the above clause, the Company shall under no circumstances whatsoever be liable to the Buyer, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, for any loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of business opportunity, site delay costs, or any indirect or consequential loss arising under or in connection with the Contract.
The Company's total cumulative liability to the Buyer in respect of all other losses arising under or in connection with the Contract shall be limited strictly to the net invoice value of the specific Goods or Services that gave rise to the claim.
The Contract, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of England and Wales.
The Company and the Buyer irrevocably agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with the Contract.
