New Halfen WI Beam system launched

The WI Beam System is an innovative approach to strengthening masonry by increasing lateral load capacity.
Its simple design uses bespoke components to create a reinforcement system that allows wall spans of up to 10m, without the need to include windposts or movement joints. It can also be used to span openings up to 2.5m, thereby dispensing with the need for lintels.

The WI Beam System is also CDM compliant - with a maximum component weight of 14kg. It provides improved wall integrity and maximises the walls’ air-tightness, acoustic and fire performance. Its carbon footprint is minimal and it improves the aesthetic appearance of an in-fill, or partition wall by reducing the number of vertical joints.
By reducing the need for cut blocks, and the resultant reduction of dust, noise and vibration, on-site health and safety is improved.

The system is AIS approved for use under Part A of the Building Regulations 2000, and is CERAM tested and approved to BS5628
