| Some of you may ask what are the benefits of fiberglass versus some other methods of manufacturing marina dock boxes, pile caps, fire hose cabinets and other products. Below are some comparisons between fiberglass and plastic. |
|
Fiberglass Fiberglass has a very good strength to weight ratio, actually greater than steel per pound Fiberglass will withstand salt, chlorine, heat and the sun's UV raysBest choice for electrical storage due to fiberglass being non-conductive Gel coated fiberglass dock boxes require little or no maintenanceFiberglass has excellent dimensional stability Fiberglass is smooth and offers a superior appearance over plastic or wood |
|
Plastics Although lighter than fiberglass, plastics are much less durable Plastics are not as smooth in appearance as fiberglass Plastics cannot tolerate extreme environments like fiberglass can Plastic colors do not hold up over time exposed to salt air UV light makes plastic brittle over time, leaving it vulnerable to cracking Plastic just cannot compete with the
strength of fiberglass |
