How to order and design Windposts
So, you have found out that you need windposts. Unfortunately, you cannot just walk down to your local builders merchants and buy as many as you need. Unless you come to UKLintels Windpost Superstore!
Typically, windposts are bespoke items. You have to get an engineer or architect to assist you in specially designing the windposts you need for your construction project. A manufacturer can configure them to your specific needs but this process will involve issuing construction drawings for review and the manufacturer will provide a technical drawing for approval prior to manufacture. This process can be stressful for the client, and can take up to 4 weeks. Once approved, the manufacture time will be an additional 4 weeks making the whole process take months to receive your product.
Windpost design has advantages because you will know that you are getting a custom-fit product. However, this means a wait of several weeks to receive your product. It also doesn’t allow for errors during this technical phase where often the wrong stem length is provided making the delivered product useless and the process needs to be started again. The global supply chain crisis has made waiting times even longer and led to price increases in the construction industry.
Is there a faster way to receive Windposts?
Yes, order for Next day delivery from UKLintels Windpost Superstore
Some people find out they will need windposts when they have already begun building. The idea of losing time and money by waiting for months can be a massive headache.
A construction site can be an unpredictable place. You cannot always tell how long a project will take and what problems will crop up. Finding out you need a windpost can add to your stress, especially if it will take months to arrive. This can stall your project and cost you money.
