Wood: a material for the 21st century
Mechanical performance and ecological balance give wood a dual advantage over inert materials.
- Impact resistance: wood absorbs shock. In contrast to the extreme rigidity of steel and concrete, wood responds with flexibility, which diffuses the shock wave instead of blocking it.
- Protecting the environment: wood sets itself apart. Wood stores CO2 whereas concrete and steel release it in great quantities during their production cycle, with the all too familiar consequences for the ozone layer.
Tertu, the world’s leading manufacturer of wood & steel guardrails, has unrivalled experience with this combination of materials.
