Material Specifications Wood
Wood.
Our poles are made from planks of Class 3 glue-laminated
untreated Scots Pine beams.
Our beams are designed and certified GL28h. There are 4
classes of resistance, GL24, 28, 32 and 36h, by increasing
order of resistance.
Glue Laminated Beams.
The maximum thickness of the planks making up the beam is less than 34m, in conformity with Eurocode 5 registered as
“Mixed Wood Metal Lamp posts”.
The glue used to assemble the planks is known as White glue, and has the advantage of minimising the visual impact of
joints on the wooden parts.
Like the Scotch pine from Finland used for our production, our end products are PEFC* certified, certificate 5674-01.
Steel Components.
The metal parts of these “Mixed Wood Metal Lighting Columns” are made of S235 Galvanised Steel. To obtain the best
quality Galvanising, the Steel used is category A in conformity with standard NF A 35-503.
Hot rolled products made of type S235 Construction Steel:
Alloy composed mainly of Iron with Carbon to which different elements (Manganese, Silicon, etc.) are added in order to obtain
minimal mechanical resistance.
