Parapet & Spandrel Windposts

All three windposts designs are available in shorter length to provide the same level of stability to parapets or below windows, commonly termed parapets or spandrel windposts respectively. These posts are designed as cantilevers and are rarely more than 1.6 metres in height. The base connection is engineered to resist bending movement.
