CUSTOM FABRICATIONS
MANUFACTURER
As early pioneers in the use of fiberglass (FRP) for architectural
applications, Fiberglass Specialties enjoys a rich heritage of meeting
their customers' needs through constant innovation and attention to
details. Now the leader in the industry, they invite you to explore the
possibilities Fiberglass Specialties has to offer.
PRODUCT PRESENTATION
From towering colonial steeples to signage on Atlantic City's boardwalk,
applications for architectural fiberglass are almost limitless. FRP
(fiberglass reinforced polyester) is ideally suited for many architectural
applications. It can be molded to almost any shape, and special colors and
finishes can be molded in to simulate a variety of materials. Fiberglass
Specialties' design team can take your design concept and turn it into
reality.
USES, APPLICATIONS
Fiberglass Specialties leads the market in fabricating uniquely custom
steeples, cupolas, and domes, as well as a wide variety of other products,
including cornices, decorative panels, signage, and custom baptistries.
Their products can be found on churches, as well as a wide variety of
commercial buildings, including schools, banks, shopping centers, hotels,
and apartment buildings.
Cellular Applications: Because FRP is "Transparent" to
Radio Frequencies, cellular and PCS antennas can be housed inside
fiberglass steeples to provide coverage in areas which restrict the use of
antenna towers. Fiberglass Specialties was among the earliest to use this
innovative concept.
MATERIALS
Fiberglass Specialties steeples and cupolas are fabricated by
permanently bonding an internal steel structure to an outer shell of FRP
(Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester). The result is a rigid, durable
structure that requires virtually no maintenance. The finish is an
integral part of the FRP laminate; unlike paint, the surface will not peel
off. This eliminates the cost of repainting associated with other
materials.
ASSEMBLY, INSTALLATION
Obviously, assembly and installation will vary widely depending on the
nature of the custom design. In general, however, Fiberglass Specialties'
products are designed for easy, simple installation. Components are
shipped in complete, self contained sections, which pre-assembled at the
factory, taken down for shipment, then simply bolted together on site by
the contractor. A crane and some special rigging may be required.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Fiberglass Specialties' expert sales team and design team is available
