Tertu - steel backed timber guardrails:

The Tertu wood-metal guardrail features a unique half-log design. This innovative design offers increased lightness without compromising restraint performance.

Within the large family of road restraint systems, wood-metal guardrails stand out for their unique combination of performance, aesthetics and respect for the environment.

Designed to provide optimum protection for road users, these guardrails meet the strict requirements of European standard EN 1317. They have been subjected to rigorous crash tests, guaranteeing their effectiveness in the event of an impact.

Unlike all-metal or concrete solutions, wood-metal guardrails have a reduced carbon footprint. Thanks to the use of wood – a renewable material from sustainably managed forests – this equipment plays an active part in a more responsible approach to road safety. The use of natural materials also helps to limit greenhouse gas emissions throughout the product’s life cycle, from manufacture to installation.

In addition to their technical and environmental performance, wood-metal guardrails offer undeniable aesthetic value. With its warm, natural look, wood blends seamlessly into all types of landscape, from roads in wooded areas to cycle lanes in nature reserves and sensitive tourist sites. This visual harmony encourages greater acceptance of the infrastructure by local residents and users.

By combining safety, durability and aesthetics, wood-metal guardrails represent an innovative and responsible alternative to traditional solutions. They offer road infrastructure managers an effective response to the challenges of making roads safer, while taking account of environmental and landscape issues.
