ENVIRONMENTAL AND PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES OF COMPOSITES OVER OTHER MATERIALS

Composite parts allow for cost effective solutions to complex designs and shapes with a high strength to weight ratio over other materials. Composite parts are durable, have a high impact strength, and hold up well in corrosive environments. For example many of our fiberglass Lifeguard Towers that we made decades ago are still operational on beaches all over California, Florida, Hawaii and the world. Their overall carbon footprint compared to other Towers made of wood or metal is far more environmentally friendly because they do not need to be as readily refinished or replaced.
