With decades of research and innovation in residential construction solutions, Simpson Strong-Tie offers an unparalleled selection of tested products, advanced software, and other helpful resources for designing and building residential structures.
Understand the corrosion issue and learn how to select a material and/or coating that is suitable for the intended application and environment based upon factors such as corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the material.
Learn about the critical elements of high wind-resistant construction, including information on the effects of wind, corrosion, and uplift, as well as detailed product information for construction in high-wind areas.
Learn about construction techniques that better equip homes to withstand a seismic event as well as resources and steps you can take to strengthen your homes.
When selecting materials such as connectors, fasteners, and anchors, it is vital to consider corrosion risk factors that may be present in the service environment. An informed investment in stainless-steel components can help guarantee long-term performance and eliminate the need for future repairs.
Our newest connectors have been developed to make stick-frame connections in roofs as intuitive as possible to ensure the construction of safer, stronger homes. Consider using connectors on your next site-built roof.
URM buildings are generally 1-5 stories high constructed of flexible wood framed floor and roof systems, wood framed interior framing, and exterior URM walls. They were common in the 1800s and early 1900s but are now banned except in low seismic areas.
Our tested and load-rated connectors and fasteners—like the MMHC hinged roof connector and Quik Drive® collated drywall screws—are designed to minimize cost and maximize speed and precision, keeping your modular projects on time and on budget.
The Simpson Strong-Tie fire wall hangers can be installed and loaded during framing—before the drywall is in place. These fire-rated hangers are designed to carry floor joist loads to a wood-stud wall through two layers of drywall.
Building on a heritage of wood connection innovation, we're developing additional connector products to lend our best-in-class service, jobsite support and technical expertise to the mass timber and cross-laminated timber (CLT) construction industries.
