European Ash: Elasticity, Strength & Natural Excellence
\nAsh is one of the most “dynamic” wood species, a favorite among designers and craftsmen for its unique combination of strength and flexibility. With its bold, beautiful grain, it lends a distinct personality to every construction.
\nWhy Choose It:
\nTop-Tier Bending Strength: With an impressive value of 113 MPa, Ash surpasses even Oak in elasticity. It is the first choice for constructions that require “nerve” and resistance to stress, such as stairs and curved furniture.
\nExcellent Strength-to-Weight Ratio: With an average weight of 680 kg\/m\u00b3, it is lighter than Oak but equally durable. This facilitates processing and installation without sacrificing the robustness of the final structure.
\nStable Behavior (Low T\/R): A shrinkage ratio (T\/R) coefficient of 1.7 indicates a wood with very good dimensional stability. This means that Ash “works” less, offering security to the builder for high-precision projects.<\/p>\n
