Product
Description
Manufacturer's
standard fiberglass designed for exterior or interior, as required.
Provide integrally colored units with an approved texture* for
a consistent appearance to match the architectural requirements.
Alternate finish can be a white paintable gelcoat.
Material
size and thickness varies to produce adequate strength and durability
in the finished product and for the intended use. Work to the
dimensions shown or accepted on the shop drawings using proven
details of fabrication and support. (Thickness of FRP parts) nominal
total thickness is 1/8" including gelcoat. Maximum thickness
is 1/4" or as specified in approved shop drawings. Gelcoat
thickness is .015" to .025".
Glass
matt, chop, or cloth shall be equal to PPG or Owens Corning. Polyester
resin shall be equal to Reichold products GP resins or fire Retardate
Dion FR 7767 (depending on which is specified). Surface gelcoat
to be equal to Polygard or Ram products.
Threaded
inserts, internal reinforcements, stiffeners and steel connection
devices are incorporated into units with corrosion resistant coating
such as, zinc or cadium plate, or stainless steel. Embed inserts
and stiffeners reinforced fiberglass to develop their strength
and prevent failure.
A
variety of surface finishes and textures are available, including
