            <h1>LUS Face-Mount Joist Hangers Installation Guide</h1>
            <p>LUS hangers have double-shear nailing — an innovation that distributes the load through two points on each joist nail for greater strength. This allows for fewer nails, faster installation and the use of all common nails for the same connection.</p>
