STEEPLES & CUPOLAS
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
Fiberglass Specialties produces the industry's largest line of standard
steeple and cupola models. The entire line can be accessed in the CAD
section of the Sweets CD, as well as Fiberglass Specialties' own website
and printed literature. The standard line uses existing molds to assure
economical pricing, while still allowing a wide range of options, such as
crosses, louvers, windows, and custom colors.
In addition to this extensive standard line, Fiberglass Specialties'
custom design team offers you maximum creative flexibility. More
information is available in the "Custom" profile on the Sweets
CD.
USES, APPLICATIONS
Fiberglass Specialties steeples and cupolas are suitable for 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
Most steeples and cupolas are shipped in several stackable pieces. Each
component is pre-assembled at the factory to assure ease of installation.
Assembly and installation vary from model to model, but typically involve
simply stacking and bolting together several components. A crane and some
special rigging may be required. Roof pitches are pre-cut to customer's
specifications, requiring only minor field trimming to fit the roof.
