L Type Windposts

Sectional properties and loading data for L type windposts.

L Type WindpostsL type windposts 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 & WPT2 clip in ties to the inner leaf transfer the loadings applied to the cladding back to the structure.

The following tables illustrate the typical sizes available, however, almost any size can be designed / manufactured.
