Ancon Thermal Windpost | A Smarter Specification for Masonry Construction

Unlike traditional windposts, the Thermal Windpost incorporates thermal insulation within the structural solution, helping to reduce heat transfer through the building envelope.

Key Benefits:

✅ Up to 70% reduction in thermal transmission 
✅ 35% lighter than a standard windpost
✅ Supports Passivhaus practices and low-energy buildings
✅ Faster installation and easier handling
✅ Expert design and specification support

CPDs & Product Training 

Join our upcoming webinar to discover how Thermal Windposts can help reduce thermal bridging in masonry wall constructions and support improved as-built thermal performance.

We'll explore the impact of windpost design on building efficiency, how Thermal Windposts can reduce thermal transmission by up to 70%, and the role of specification in helping to close the building performance gap.

Presented by Sara Dawes, Regional Technical Sales Manager at Leviat, this session will provide practical guidance for architects and specifiers, with the opportunity to ask questions and gain expert insights.

FAQ's

What are the benefits of choosing the Ancon Thermal Windpost over conventional steel windposts?
The Ancon Thermal windpost combines enhanced thermal performance with practical installation efficiency. Designed to minimise energy loss and support low-energy building targets, it installs in the same way as a traditional Ancon windpost while offering a competitive and future-focused alternative to conventional windpost solutions. 

How does it reduce thermal bridging?
The Ancon Thermal Windpost has integral insulation to ensure its profile is filled, as well as offering clean lines for typical cavity insulation to abut the windpost during installation and maintain a constant insulation line around the building perimeter. This integral feature significantly reduces heat transfer compared to conventional steel windposts and removes the risks of site tolerances during insulation positioning.

Can it support Passivhaus projects?
The Ancon Thermal Windpost has been developed to support low-energy building strategies and thermal-bridge reduction.

Does it help with Part L compliance?
The Ancon Thermal Windpost offers an improved thermal performance versus conventional steel windposts that can support energy-efficiency objectives and compliance requirements.

Is performance data available?
Thermal modelling reports, calculations and technical evidence are available upon request. Please contact our team for more information here. 

Will it contribute to BREEAM targets?
The Ancon Thermal Windpost can assist with sustainability assessments through improved thermal performance and EPD documentation.

Are BIM objects available?
BIM, Revit files, CAD details and NBS resources are available here.

What technical support is available?
Leviat provides design support, technical guidance, specification assistance, CPDs and site support. Please contact our team for more information here.

Can Leviat help with project-specific design?
Our Technical teams can provide project-specific recommendations and design assistance. Please contact our team to discuss here. 

Is the product manufactured in the UK?
The Ancon Thermal Windposts are manufactured in our Sheffield factory through collaboration with our design teams.

How quickly can I specify it?
Immediately using the configuration tool, NBS resources and using Leviat’s expert technical support. Please contact our team to discuss projects where needed.

Thermal efficiency in buildings - can we afford to turn a blind eye?

Senior Engineer, Jeff Edwards explores an issue that has become common knowledge in the construction industry, that designed thermal performance figures for cavity wall constructions are rarely achieved under actual site conditions. He lets us in on how his passion for addressing this 'performance gap' resulted in the creation of the revolutionary Ancon Thermal Windpost (TWP2).
