A range of stainless steel windposts available in various styles and sizes.
A range of stainless steel windposts available in various styles, section sizes and heights to suit structural loading requirements and are supplied complete with vertically adjustable ties to suit coursing levels and necessary fixing bolts.
Windposts span vertically between floors to provide lateral support for masonry panels and are normally fixed as ‘simply supported beams’ with a maximum deflection of span/ 360. Deflection under wind load can restrict the maximum loading. Connections to the frame are designed to allow for vertical adjustment of the structure and site tolerances during installation via a loose top cleat. The choice of fixing and its position are dependent on the type and length of the windpost and the structure.
