Halfen Windposts

Designed to strengthen masonry panels, windposts are mainly used as vertical posts at intermediate points between structural columns. They are usually storey height and have a fixed base and sliding top cleat fixed to the structural slab.
Halfen windposts have been specifically designed to strengthen masonry panels. They are set out between structural columns, as shown, and are used at storey height or as spandrel or parapet posts. Both cavity windposts and blockwork windposts are available.

Cavity Windposts

Cavity windposts can be used without cutting blockwork and are therefore the preferred option, where possible. Cavity windposts are available in 2 profiles.

Blockwork Windposts

Blockwork windposts (BW1) are formed from angle and built into the blockwork inner skin, as shown. Blockwork windposts are available in a range of angle sizes.
