H Section Windpost

H Section Windposts fit within the wall cavity and normally span between floor structures. They serve the same purpose as the U section windposts whilst allowing for heavy duty applications. H windposts leave the inner leaf of the cavity wall undisturbed.

Windposts are supplied with specifically designed base / upper connections and fixings. The upper connection allows for shrinkage or vertical movement of the building frame.

They are also supplied complete with the correct type and number of wall ties which will be dependent on the type of post used and the cavity width.
