Metal wind posts.
Wind posts that span vertically between floors to provide lateral support and restraint to a variety of brick, block and stonework applications.
ACS has designed and developed an extensive range of windposts that span vertically between floors to provide lateral support and restraint to a variety of brick, block and stonework applications. They often eliminate the need for additional steel or reinforced concrete columns, thus reducing time and costs involved in this method of construction. Windposts provide greater strength and stability in large areas of cladding or where there are two or more window apertures in a masonry panel.
The 'L' Section wind posts are a cost effective structural system designed to suit each and every individual project. The posts are built into the internal skin of blockwork and bolted to the structure via suitable fixings.
The use of WPT1 clip on ties to the external leaf and WPT2 clip in ties to the inner leaf transfer the loadings applied to the cladding back to the structure.
Consult literature for maximum factored load for height of wind post (UDL) kN.
