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 to assist you. By utilizing the latest technology, including AutoCad, e-mail, and a functional website, they save you time and money during the design and specification phase.
