Application

Designed for use in cavities of 75 mm and above, in buildings subjected to moderate wind loads, including:

Bolting to face of concrete floor slabs.
Fixing to concrete.
Fixing to timber beams.
Fixing to steel beams.

Description

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.

Features and benefits:

CE marked.
Fits in cavity.
Supplied complete with all ties and fixings.
Compliant with BS EN 1090-1 and BS EN 845-1.
Suitable for buildings with moderate wind loads.
Manufactured from corrosion resistant stainless steel.
Variety of different sizes and thicknesses available to suit structural loading requirements.
