Details
The ACS L Type windpost builds into the internal skin of blockwork and bolt 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, therefore transferring the loadings applied to the cladding back to the structure.
Design
Windpost sizes may or may not be known depending on the status of the project. The tables shown for the L Type Windpost detail typical section sizes to aid design, however, to ensure the most economical section is specified please liaise with our dedicated sales team
The following tables illustrate the typical sizes available, however, almost any size can be designed / manufactured.
L Type Windposts:
Windposts are designed as simply supported beams. Maximum deflection is height/360 and maximum stress is 191N/mm2
