AN ENGINEERED SOLUTION IS
ALWAYS THE BEST SOLUTION
When using timber connectors on-site, especially
load-bearing hangers & brackets, it pays to use the right
product for the right job. Anything else could severely
compromise the safety and stability of the building.

made to answer specific on-site needs. All are designed
and engineered to meet the individual requirements of
each particular job. All of MiTeks engineered building
products are rigorously tested and retested to ensure they
pass, and in most cases, exceed Australian Standards.
