Stainless steel masonry cavity wind posts, providing strength and stability for panels of masonry cladding.
Designed for use in cavities of 75 mm and above, in buildings subjected to moderate wind loads, including:
Stainless steel wind posts designed for installation in cavities of 75 mm and above. Wind posts span vertically between floors to provide lateral support for masonry panels and are normally fixed as ‘simply supported beams’. Connections to the frame are designed to allow for vertical adjustment of the structure and site tolerances during installation via a loose top cleat.
Deflection can be considerably reduced by using the wind posts as a ‘propped cantilever’ with a heavy-duty base connection. This method is used especially for the parapet/ spandrel wind posts. One-way ties at 225 mm centres secure the post to both inner and outer leaves of masonry, without disturbing the inner blockwork skin.
