Why Choose PILA Fibreglass?
Any product continually exposed to harsh sun, wind and weather over a long period of time must be designed to withstand the elements. Likewise, products for contemporary streetscapes must be elegant, subtle and in keeping with the natural environment. PILA fibreglass provides practical solutions for the urban environment.
PILA group® is the only manufacturer of specialised sustainable fibreglass poles in the Australasian region, setting the industry benchmark and offering our clients the most advanced products, in line with international trends.
Shaped in the Greek Entasis taper design, the classical shape of a candle, the round, tapered fibreglass column is lightweight, durable, low maintenance and finished in a brilliant high gloss white gel coat. PILA fibreglass products are a cost effective alternative to metal and timber products in the harshest industrial environments. The many advantages of fibreglass products over other materials include.
Sustainable - significant environmental benefits compared to metal and timber products.
Safer - fibreglass is a low conductor of electricity / lightning so is safer than metal poles.
Low Conductor – non-metallic fibreglass does not spark and is safer near electrical hazards.
Corrosion Resistant - designed for aggressive environments with no coating or treating required.
Low Maintenance – maintenance free & won’t rust, rot, oxidise, decay reducing life cycle cost.
Colour-Fast – pigmented so the surface will not darken or fade, become powdery or crack.
Low-Maintenance – natural insulator requiring no thermal break. Will not absorb moisture or mould.
Durable - gel-coat is impervious to salt spray and industrial polluted atmospheres.
Sound Absorbing – acoustically efficient achieving the highest rating for sound deadening.
Impact Resistant – inherent flexibility to resist impact and failure. Safer for road-side use.
Lightweight – up to 75% lighter than steel making it easier and cheaper to handle and install.
Strong - high strength-to-weight ratio so fibreglass is rigid but naturally flexible.
Easy To Handle – strong but light weight alternative where heavy lifting or site access is an issue.
Easy to Store – multi-piece design allows for easy transport and storage of all height products.
