Windposts

Keystone Windposts span vertically between floors to provide additional lateral support for large panels of brickwork or large panels with openings. Keystone manufactures three types of windposts.

Additional lateral support

Keystone Lintels windposts provide additional lateral support to large panels of brickwork and masonry panels incorporating openings. Installed vertically, they typically span between floor structures to provide additional stability where required by the building design.

The range includes U, DU and LP windposts, providing solutions for different wall constructions and loading requirements. Shorter parapet and spandrel windposts are also available where additional support is required above or below openings.

Engineered for the project

Windposts can be manufactured in a range of sizes to suit project-specific requirements, with the appropriate solution determined by factors including post height, loading and wall construction.

Keystone Lintels windposts are manufactured from grade 304 stainless steel, with grade 316 stainless steel available where required.

The Keystone Lintels Technical Team can provide product specification and schedules to support the selection of the appropriate windpost solution for the project.

A complete windpost solution

Keystone Lintels windposts are supplied with specifically designed base and top connections, together with the appropriate wall ties for the selected post type and cavity width.

U ties are used with U and DU windposts, while a range of L ties is available for LP windposts to suit 50mm, 75mm and 100mm cavities. L Shear Ties are also available for LP windposts and can be supplied with a de-bonding sleeve where the windpost is positioned at a vertical movement joint.

Connection requirements vary according to the windpost and supporting structure, helping ensure the complete system is specified for its intended application.
