Angle Bracket

Keeping perpendicular intersections of wood together is challenging because each component is being pulled away from the other. Angle brackets provide much-needed stabilization to these junctions, increasing a project’s durability and longevity.

Features

An angle bracket is typically shaped like an L and made of aluminum, a metal with a higher strength-to-weight proportion than most building materials. As a result, aluminum angle brackets can withstand lots of stress without adding too much weight to an intersection.

Each angle bracket’s legs have predrilled holes in them so that they’re easy to secure. The number varies based on the bracket’s size. For example, a 12-inch angle bracket needs eight holes (four on each leg) to guarantee stability.

Uses

Angle brackets are popular in construction projects for securing perpendicular floor joists to each other and joining walls and floors. They also have everyday applications such as keeping bookshelves, chair legs, tabletops, dressers, and TV stands steady. Even if a junction is secured with nails, ties, or screws, it can pull apart over time, so an angle bracket provides an extra level of security. 

When construction crews complete the framing process, install roofs, and lay down floors, they rely on angle brackets to keep their work in place.
