Atlantic Fiberglass offers it's customer a flagpole that is
manufactured with aerospace technology to create an extremely strong,
sleek, wind resistant flagpole, that contains a clear, hard gel-coat
finish that will not fade, crack or turn dull. While the old fashioned
style flagpoles are still being offered today by other companies, only
Atlantic Fiberglass Products has taken flagpole technology to its next
generation.
• MANUFACTURING PROCESS:
Envision a metal tube or pipe cut
in half length-wise and then hinged back together. This is the steel
mold. Instead of wrapping the fiberglass around a mandrel like other
manufacturers and waiting for it to dry, we wrap the fiberglass and
polyester around a rubber inflatable bladder and then place it inside
the steel mold which is coated internally with gel-coat.
The
bladder is then inflated to high pressure inside the mold. All the air
and excess material is forced to the outside and exits through this vent
line. This creates the small mold mark you will see. Curing is
continued at full pressure and the resulting flagpole is stronger,
denser, lighter and longer lasting.
• DESIGN AND BEAUTY:
These Fiberglass flagpoles are molded in one piece, using the beautiful Greek Entasis taper design - the classical shape of a candle.
• MAINTENANCE FREE:
Fiberglass flagpoles will not pit, corrode, or rust. This is extremely
important near salt water or in rugged weather conditions. Unlike wood
that can rot, or aluminum that discolors and pits, our flagpoles have an
ultra-hard, gel-coat finish that is impervious to all weather
conditions.
• SAFETY:
Fiberglass will NOT conduct electricity like ALUMINUM. No ground wires. NO LIGHTNING WORRY. Easy Installation!
• COLORS:
Our
standard flagpole has a brilliant white, pre-cast gel-coat finish.
Other colors are available on special request. All poles have the same
dura-hard, fade-free, weather resistant finish.
• REVOLVING TRUCK:
All poles come with a special designed, high quality, revolving-truck as standard equipment.
USA Flag Kits are Tax-Exempt.
TRUCKING IS ADDITIONAL (Ballpark: $360-$490 range, depending on location... ships nation-wide in USA.).

====
Atlantic Fiberglass flagpoles are made by using an innovative high
strength method. Inside a steel clamshell mold, seven layers of
reinforced fiberglass roving, mixed with a polyester resin is aligned in
a vertical plane for maximum strength and placed on a thick layer of
gelcoat. An inflatable bladder is layed the length of the mold. The mold
is closed, the bladder inflated and the resulting pole is created by
subtle inside pressure and slow curing during an exothermic chemical
reaction. The result, a lighter weight, stronger, more slender and
graceful flagpole on the market today. So strong in fact, that tensile
strength is 50,000 pounds per square inch. Each pole is rated to
withstand wind speeds of 120 mph.
Flagpoles of Distinction.
