Manufactured from extruded aluminium, the complex lattice design is created by slotting and stretching the profile before mechanically forming the distinctive triangular or quadrangular
posts.

The mechanical strength used in the slotting and stretching procedure is directly responsible
for the energy absorption properties of Lattix which allows the post to progressively crumple
upon impact before shearing at specially designed points on the footplate.

This process of plastic deformation cushions the occupants from the massive deceleration
forces that so often result in serious injury.

As crash barriers are not required with Lattix this can result in substatial cost savings when
compared with traditional steel post installations.
