High Wind Loadings? No Problem.

L Type Windposts are designed to be used when there are high wind loadings and, in some cases, where cavity widths mean that C Section Windposts can’t be used.

Simple To Install.

L Type Windposts are installed into a vertical blockwork joint and protrude into the cavity area. They’re bolted to the structure via suitable fixings. WPT1 clip on ties are used on the external leaf, and WPT2 clip in ties on the inner leaf to transfer loadings back to the structure. 

All our windposts come with site-specific layout and section details for the post, head fixings, base fixings and ties. They’re supplied with a rigid base connection and a separate top cleat that’s designed with a slotted connection to allow for movement and tolerance.
