Welcome to the comprehensive world of Builders Metalwork at Insulation4less, where every building and construction project finds its metal-mate. The category involves a broad spectrum of metalwork products, each crafted and galvanised meticulously by top-notch vendors. Your structural endeavours require steadfast, durable, and reliable metalwork, and our selection ensures you avail these essentials in a variety of types and sizes to meet diversified applications.

Joist Hangers & Supports

Joist hangers, such as Galvanised Joist Hangers in various duties (light, medium, long leg, etc.) and Galvanised Multi Truss Hangers, are imperative for ensuring structural integrity by facilitating secure connections between beams and joists in a multitude of building projects. They are crucial in supporting floors, ceilings, and decks, providing stability and enhancing the load-bearing capacities of structures.

Brackets & Plates

From Galvanised T&L Brackets, Zinc Plated Light Duty Angle Braces, Galvanised Heavy Duty Angle Brackets, to Galvanised Angle Brackets and Flat Connector Plates, the usage of these items is pivotal for constructing robust structures. These components are employed to forge stable joints and connections, ensuring angles and intersections in structures are securely anchored and reinforced.

Wall Ties & Straps

Stainless Steel Wall Ties, Galvanised Restraint Straps, and Wall Ties - Double Triangular provide substantial support, effectively connecting and stabilising walls to their foundations or other structural components. These are instrumental in counteracting any potential movements, providing stability during adverse conditions like high winds or ground shifts.

Fixing Bands & Strapping

Including Forgefix Contractor Fixing Banding, Forgefix Builders Fixing Banding, and Samac Builders Fixing Band in various sizes and coatings (like black and white plastic), these flexible, yet robust items are utilised for securing, supporting, and strapping various components during construction, ensuring cohesive and secure installation of pipes, frames, and more.

Structural Connectors & Ties

Splice Plates with Nails, Zinc Plated Mending Plates, Galvanised Hand Nail Plates, and Galvanised Multi-Fix Strapping are essentially used for mending and reinforcing connections in various structural assemblies, ensuring longevity and robustness in the joined components.

Frame Ties & Cramps

Galvanised Fishtailed Frame Cramps, Safety End Frame Cramps, and Galvanised Screw-In Frame Tie provide crucial support in linking and anchoring door and window frames securely to the adjoining walls, ensuring that the openings are structurally sound and firmly held in place.

Truss & Structural Enhancements

Galvanised Truss Clips, Galvanised Herringbone Joist Strut, Galvanised Double Sided Tooth Connector, and Holding Down Angles ensure that trusses, beams, and other structural components are firmly affixed, enhancing the overall rigidity and stability of constructions.

Wall & Brickwork Reinforcement

Galvanised Expanded Metal Brickwork Reinforcement, Stainless Steel Timber Frame Tie, and Universal Wall Starter Kit are critical in reinforcing brickwork and masonry. Brick reinforcement prevents cracks and ensures a long-lasting. Also, Brick reinforcement provides a stable wall structure.

Roofing Solutions

With offerings like Dry Ridge Accessory Pack and Universal Dry Ridge Fixing System, ROOFTEC ensures your roofing installations aren’t just secure but also endowed with a longer lifespan by facilitating better tile grip and providing added defence against harsh weather conditions.

Restraint Straps

Restraint straps are essential metal components used to secure roof trusses, wall plates, and floors to the main structure of a building. Typically manufactured from galvanised steel for corrosion resistance, these straps are designed to prevent uplift and lateral movement caused by wind or shifting loads. Available in both light and heavy-duty variants, restraint straps are a vital part of complying with UK Building Regulations for structural safety.

Steel Reinforcement

Steel reinforcement, often referred to as rebar or reinforcing mesh, is a vital component in modern construction. Designed to strengthen concrete and masonry structures, steel reinforcement improves tensile strength, reduces the risk of cracking, and increases the overall durability of a build. Whether you’re pouring a concrete slab, laying a foundation, or constructing a retaining wall, using the right reinforcement is essential for structural performance.

Benefits of Builders Metalwork

• Structural Integrity – Provides critical support in load-bearing and non-load-bearing applications, ensuring safety and performance.
• Time-Saving – Pre-fabricated and precision-engineered components make installation faster and more efficient.
• Corrosion Resistance – Most products are treated for long-lasting protection against rust and moisture.
• Versatility – Suitable for timber, masonry, concrete, and steel frameworks across residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
• Consistent Quality – Manufactured to meet UK building standards, reducing the risk of on-site failures.

Applications of Builders' Metalwork

Builders' metalwork is essential across a variety of construction applications, including:

• Framing walls and ceilings using metal studs and track systems
• Securing floor joists and beams with joist hangers and connectors
• Tying masonry walls with stainless steel wall ties
• Creating safe partitions and frameworks for commercial fit-outs
• Reinforcing structures in renovations and extensions

These products are engineered to deliver lasting performance in both new builds and refurbishments.

Guidance on Selection

Determining Your Requirement

• Load-Bearing Capacities: Ensure the metalwork chosen is compatible with the load-bearing requirements of your construction.
• Environmental Resistance: Consider the environmental factors and select metalwork with appropriate coatings (like galvanisation) for rust and corrosion resistance.

 Compatibility and Sizing

Ensure that the sizes and types of metalwork chosen are compatible with the structural components they will be affixed to, ensuring optimum support and stability.

Complying with Standards

Ensuring that your selection adheres to the local building codes and standards is pivotal to guaranteeing safety and legality in construction.
