FAQ’S
What types of products does Simpson Strong-Tie produce?
What is a connector?
Structural connectors are made out of steel, and are engineered to connect and strengthen the frame of a home. Reinforcing the frame of a home with structural connectors helps the home resist damage caused by earthquakes, high winds and hurricanes. Framing materials secured with connectors are much stronger than if secured only with nails (called toe-nailing).
Connectors come in all shapes and sizes, and have a variety of names, such as joist hangers, hold downs and hurricane ties. Homeowners don’t typically see connectors in their homes because they are covered up behind the walls.
What is a fastener?
