EXTREN® structural shapes provide more “modern” look for architectural applications like these apartments in Los Angeles. EXTREN® was chosen to be used as a balcony trim instead of steel. It will not rust like traditional materials (i.e. wood or steel) and requires no annual repainting.
More benefits of using fiberglass structural shapes in architectural applications are: no interference with radio frequencies, high-quality structural properties and an aesthetically pleasing look. |
Durable, long-lasting fiberglass trash gates and enclosures are the superior
choice for screening waste disposal and other unsightly areas.
The lightweight gates and enclosures are designed to be installed quickly and easily without the need for special tools.

Switzerland-based Roth-Käse, an award-winning cheese manufacturer, used DURASHIELD® panels for walls in its U.S. location in Southern Wisconsin. The 3” foam-core panels were chosen because they are lightweight and can easily be removed for cleaning and moving equipment within the factory. They were also aesthetically pleasing on the exterior of the building. |

Metro, the transportation authority that serves the St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan area, recently undertook two large fencing installations utilizing custom DURAGRATE® molded grating as the main fencing component. Metro needed a functional fence that would keep pedestrians out but be aesthetically pleasing and not detract from the natural landscape. The attractive grid pattern of DURAGRATE® makes an excellent choice for various architectural applications, including fencing and visual screening. |
