Q: How many variations of IWTS are there?

A: There are four different IWTS packages – Level 1, 2, 3 and 4. These include a range of horizontal, full, window, door and half walls suitable for recreating a wide range of structures. The larger the package, the larger the structure. There are also two optional extra expansion packages available to further build out IWTS.

 

Q: What are the Expansion Packs and how are they used?

A: The IWTS Expansion Packs allow users to easily scale up to the next level, without large costs, and provide an endless stream of builds unique to customer resources. Available in two different options, the expansion packs are a quick and easy way to upgrade the IWTS packages and expand the total build.
