Benefits

Applications

Fiberglass Handrail and Fencing Systems                                                                     

STRONGRAIL® architectural handrail and fencing systems are a strong, attractive and safe solution to your structural needs. The standard systems are fabricated from pultruded fiberglass components and molded thermoplastic connectors. Systems can be made to meet ADA requirements, adding safety and beauty to your property. Custom handrail and fencing systems are also available in a variety of colors, pickets and rails. Fiberglass handrail and fencing systems add safety and beauty to your property.

 

Decking Systems

Our industrial fiberglass decking systems are attractive, low-maintenance industrial decking systems that are excellent alternatives to traditional decking materials that rot and chip.

SAFPLANK^® and SAFDECK^® will not rot, rust or mildew, which makes those decking systems ideal for high-moisture environments, including saltwater. The fiberglass panels are designed to interlock for a continuous solid surface and provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

 

Structural Shapes

Unlike timber, steel and aluminum EXTREN^® does not rot, decay, corrode or rust and EXTREN^® is not susceptible to insect attack. EXTREN^® shapes are also stronger and more rigid than timber and the long-term overall aesthetic look of fiberglass is much more appealing than wood, steel or aluminum products. Fiberglass is much more environmentally friendly than other building products.

 

Trash Gates      

Durable, long-lasting fiberglass trash gates and enclosures are the superior choice for screening waste disposal and other unsightly areas. The lightweight gates and enclosures are designed to be installed quickly and easily without the need for special tools. The fiberglass materials will provide years of maintenance-free service, even in the harshest weather conditions, because fiberglass will not rust, rot, or corrode. All the gates and enclosures resist impacts and resulting dents that detract from appearance.

 

Foam Core Fiberglass Building Panels

Switzerland-based Roth-Käse, an award-winning cheese manufacturer, used DURASHIELD^® panels for walls in its U.S. location in southern Wisconsin. The 3” foam-core panels were chosen because they are lightweight and can easily be removed for cleaning and moving equipment within the factory. The panels also provide an aesthetically pleasing exterior appearance.

 

Fiberglass Building Panels

A floating office in the San Francisco Bay was constructed using the COMPOSOLITE^® building panel system. The structure was designed using COMPOSOLITE^® because it was less expensive than steel or concrete and easy to assemble.

 

 

Pultruded Fiberglass Grating

DURAGRID^® T-1700 pultruded grating was used to replace wood planks on a large walkway at Dinner Key Marina in Miami, Florida. The grating allows for easy accessibility to utilities below the walkway and will not rot like the previous wooden walkway. The grating also has a gray color that blends perfectly with the surrounding marina, creating a beautiful pier, as well as a functional one.

 

Molded Fiberglass Grating

Metro, the transportation authority that serves the St. Louis, Missouri, metropolitan area, recently undertook two large fencing installations utilizing custom DURAGRATE^® molded grating as the main fencing component. Metro needed a functional fence that would keep pedestrians out but be aesthetically pleasing and not detract from the natural landscape. The attractive grid pattern of DURAGRATE^® makes an excellent choice for various architectural applications, including fencing and visual screening.
