Windposts
Features
Vertical Tolerance
Achieve remarkable 20mm up/down tolerance using any of our Windpost design profiles.
Enables Design Flexibility
Ensures structural safety while permitting the design of higher walls in high wind zones.
Discrete Integration
CFS Windposts ensure seamless support by integrating subtly within wall structures.

The thickness of C-section Windposts varies depending on the load they are required to support and the height of the opening they are installed in. The width and depth of C-section Windposts can vary depending on the height of the opening they are supporting. *Indicate resistance limited by tie capacity. Windposts are designed as ‘simply supported beams’ with a maximum deflection of span/360. The tables above include examples with maximum design loads to BS EN 1993 (Eurocode 3). The design resistances shown should be compared to factored loads. CFS Windposts are designed to B EN1993 – Eurocode 3 and manufactured to BS EN1090-2, UKCA and CE marked.
