Thermal Windpost (TWP2) Thermal Efficiency: the new revolution in windposts

Ancon_Thermal_Windpost__TWP2__Brochure - 2

The Ancon Thermal Windpost (TWP2) The patented Ancon Thermal Windpost (TWP2) is designed to span vertically between floors, to provide additional lateral support for panels of masonry. It has been engineered after extensive research and testing, with a variety of features to improve the thermal performance and repeatability of the junction. Why is the Thermal Windpost revolutionary? The first of its kind, and beneficial for both contractors and designers alike, the Thermal Windpost has been designed unlike any other windpost seen on the market. Thanks to its robust integral non-combustible...

Minimising thermal transmission The use of thinner gauge stainless steel reduces the amount of highly conductive material penetrating the insulation layer. The additional inclusion of a thermal slot array within the insulation zone slows the rate of thermal flux locally and in turn further reduces transmission through that part of the web. This is particularly efficient when fully surrounded by insulation. Ancon Thermal Windpost (TWP2) Standard angle section windpost Ensuring repeatability Gaps between the cavity insulation panels and the post have a detrimental effect on the thermal...

Ancon Thermal Windpost (TWP2) The importance of thermal specification An increasing focus on thermal bridging and energy efficiency means that components now have to go above and beyond in order to achieve the often tight thermal specification requirements. Windposts are structural members which inevitably create a discontinuity in the insulation layer; Angle sections almost fully penetrate the inner leaf of the wall and part of the insulation, and channel sections can sometimes bridge the insulation layer. The small voids that are created within and around the post as a result of this can...

Comparison between TWP2 and WP2 in sensitivity to gaps and variations in installation of insulation adjacent to the post (Assumes 75mm partial fill insulation and insulation installed behind the flange) Traditional WP2 sections in 75mm thick partial fill insulation Thermal Windpost TWP2-165-A/B/C/D in 75mm thick partial fill insulation The Thermal Windpost (TWP2) is much less sensitive to variations, maintaining performance better than the default value of 0.18W/mK irrespective of minor variations. Design and Installation Thermal Windposts are installed into the inner leaf of blockwork in a...

Ancon Thermal Windpost (TWP2) Load Capacity Tables (for posts built in to a solid mortar joint) Ancon Windposts are designed as ‘simply supported beams’ with a maximum deflection of span/360. The tables below include examples of the Ancon Thermal Windposts maximum design loads to BS EN 1993 (Eurocode 3) when built in to a mortar joint. The design resistances shown should be compared to factored loads. Ancon Windposts comply with all UKCA & CE marking requirements of BS EN 1090-1, including designs to EN 1993 (Eurocode 3) and external certification of our factory production controls by an...
