Windposts - A range of stainless steel windposts

Specification Data Sheet (F30)

Project:

Wincro Metal Industries Ltd manufacture a wide range of corrosion resistant fixings, produced using high quality grade 1.4301 (304) stainless steel. Grade 1.4401 (316) stainless steel can be specified for use in corrosive environments. The range is designed to satisfy most standard masonry to masonry, masonry to concrete and masonry to steel work applications.

Wincro’s Technical Design Team are available to discuss and produce bespoke ties to customer specific requirements. Wincro can also provide a design and specification service and it is recommended that they are consulted early in the design process.

Type / Windposts
Description: / Windposts span vertically between floors to provide lateral support for masonry
panels and are normally fixed as ‘simply supported beams’. Deflection under
wind load can restrict the maximum loading.
Windposts are available in various styles, section sizes and heights to suit
structural loading requirements and are supplied complete with vertically
adjustable ties to suit coursing levels and necessary fixing bolts.
Connections to the frame are designed to allow for vertical adjustment of the
structure and site tolerances during installation via a loose top cleat. The choice
of fixing and its position are dependent on the type and length of the windpost
and the structure.
Wincro will provide a drawing for approval prior to manufacture and design the
required fixing details for the top and bottom of each windpost. Wincro can also
provide a design and specification service and it is recommended that they are
consulted early in the design process.
  • Wincro WPA Windpost - an angle section post, designed for use in
buildings subjected to high wind loads and for reduced cavity
applications. The windpost leg is built into the inner leaf of the blockwork
and tied, using one piece, two-way ties. This allows vertical movement of
the structure without internal cracking. In situations that require a
vertical movement joint, plain end, two-way ties with de-bonding sleeves
are recommended. Available in a variety of section sizes. Consult with
Wincro technical literature for details.
  • Wincro WPC Windpost – a channel section post, designed to be
installed within cavities of 75mm and above, in buildings subjected to
moderate wind loads. One-way ties at 225mm centres secure the post to
both inner and outer leaves of masonry. Available in a variety of section
sizes. Consult with Wincro technical literature for details.
  • Wincro WPS Windpost – a flat ‘spine plate’ section post, designed for
use in internal blockwork walls or walls with a ‘fair face’ finish that can
not accommodate the windpost protruding off either face. Blockwork is
tied through the post using one piece, two-way ties. In situations that
require a vertical movement joint, plain end, two-way ties with debonding
sleeves are recommended. Available in a variety of section
sizes. Consult with Wincro technical literature for details.
  • Wincro WPABB Windpost – a heavy duty, double angle section post (T
section), designed to provide increased load capacity compared to
standard WPA windposts. The windpost leg is built into the inner leaf of
theblockwork and tied, using one piece, two-way ties. In situations that
require a vertical movement joint, plain end, two-way ties with debondingsleeves are recommended. Available in a variety of section
sizes. Consult with Wincro technical on 0114 242 2171 for further
details.
  • Wincro WPCBB Windpost – a heavy duty, double channel section post (I
section), designed to provide increased load capacity compared to
standard WPC windposts. One-way ties at 225mm centres secure the
post to both inner and outer leaves of masonry. Available in a variety of
section sizes. Consult with Wincro technical on 0114 242 2171 for
further details.
Wincro Windposts are designed to a maximum deflection of span/360 and a
maximum stress of 174N/mm
