Additional strength and load resistance is created by embedding the inner leg of the VEW1 Windpost into the inner leaf joint.
Designed to sit in the cavity itself and tied to both inner and outer leaves, VEW2 Windposts are ideal for more lightly loaded walls.
With no head fixings, Vista VEW1 and VEW2 Parapet Posts are designed as propped cantilevers, using heavier base fixings to resist movement.
Sitting within the width of a single block, VEW3 Spine Posts add strength without ruining the ‘fair faced’ finish of internal walls.
