Fiberglass is a feasible alternative to the cost prohibitive traditional materials. Fiberglass is very practical when compared with the material, maintenance, and installation cost of other traditional materials. In addition to new construction, fiberglass is widely used for restoration of old dome and shikhar made from bricks, marble, cast stone and metal.
An advantage of fiberglass domes and shikhars is the light weight. The weight of fiberglass domes compared to the strength and durability far exceeds other traditional materials.
An advantage of fiberglass domes and shikhars is the high strength.
Fiberglass domes require less internal support structure. Fiberglass domes are pre-assembled, numbered, and labeled in our facility, to facilitate installation at the jobsite. Domes can be assembled and installed at the project site in less time eliminating high labor costs. Usually domes are shipped in the largest sections possible. The sections are “pie” shaped and bolted together at the jobsite. After the FRP dome is assembled it can be lifted with a crane as one unit. When placed on the building structure it only needs to be bolted down to the structure. General contract workers and carpenters are frequently capable of assembling and installing our fiberglass domes.
An advantage of fiberglass domes and shikhars is maintenance free product.
An advantage of fiberglass domes and shikhars is the unlimited design flexibility. Fiberglass domes have the advantage over other materials because they can be molded into complex shapes. These shapes can be curved, corrugated, ribbed, or contoured in a variety of ways, with varying thickness.
An advantage of fiberglass domes and shikhars is resistant to rot, rust, corrosion and weather.
Domes and shikhar are manufactured with latest technological advanced materials making our domes flame, hurricane, and earthquake resistant.
Fiberglass domes can replicate many traditional building material including marble, stone and wood.
