Windposts

J&P windposts are designed to offer lateral support for masonry panels between floor slabs. J&P can design windpost and parapet specials to suit particular job requirements with special attention to top and bottom fixing connections. Windposts are manufactured from stainless steel grade A2 or mild steel with various finishes depending on the application requirement.

Windpost Type JPW-1 & Windpost Type JPW-1-CH

Positioned in the cavity of the wall. Tied to the inner and outer masonry skins with ties located in slotted holes. The base is bolted to the structural slab and a slotted top connection allows differential movement.

JPW-1: Vertical slots to coincide with brick and block bed joints offering location tolerance and allow for movement.

JPW-1-CH: Continuous 28/15 channel is provided welded to each face of the post to receive ties to coincide with the brickwork bed joints offering location tolerance and allowing for movement.

Windpost Type JPW-2 & Windpost Type JPW-2-CH

One leg of the post is built into the inner skin of the cavity wall. Standard cavity ties are positioned to the sides of the posts to tie back the outer skin. The post base is bolted down to the structural slab. A slotted top connection allows for differential movement.

JPW-2: Vertical slots are provided to coincide with the blockwork bed joints offering location tolerance and allowance for movement.

JPW-2-CH: Continuous 28/15 channel is provided welded to each face of the post to receive ties to coincide with the brickwork bed joints offering location tolerance and allowing for movement.

Windpost Type JPW-3 & Windpost Type JPW-3-CH

Built into the inner blockwork skin of a cavity wall or into internal brickwork walls, the post is bolted down to the structural slab. A spigot fixing at the top of the post allows for tolerance on length as well as for differential movement at the intersection with the structure at the top of the walls.

JPW-3: Cramp ties with vertical slotted holes are fixed to the side of the post using tek screws to coincide with the blockwork bed joints offering location tolerance and allowance for movement.

JPW-3-CH: Continuous 28/15 channel is provided welded to each face of the post to receive ties to coincide with the brickwork bed joints offering location tolerance and allowing for movement.
