Applications

At theme and water parks, guardrails, handrails and platforms not only provide essential safety solutions, but they also help guide traffic for a more enjoyable experience. That means they must hold up under continuous use as well as exposure to high temperatures and splashing water. FRP lasts in conditions that wood and steel simply can’t handle. Materials with fire-resistant resins, UV protection and non-slip surfaces are available for added safety and durability. 

• Moving People: ReadySeries and other FRP structural shapes offer the platforms, handrails, support materials and more to handle constant traffic and the weight of people standing in line.  

• Service Access: The unique designs of theme park rides and buildings create design challenges for worker access. Along with ReadySeries and Ladder-In-A-Box solutions, OSCO can work with fabricators to provide the custom profiles, shapes and cutouts you need. 
• Décor: The design flexibility of FRP isn’t just for structures. Because profiles can be produced to your exact specifications with several color options, you can create FRP decorations that will last for years without requiring maintenance.

The Advantages of FRP

• Resists Corrosion — Fiberglass doesn’t warp, rust or rot, plus it absorbs little moisture.
• High Strength — Pound for pound, FRP delivers the strength of steel at a fraction of the weight.
• Easy To Install — Only standard tools are needed.
• Stable — Fiberglass doesn’t swell or shrink, ensuring dimensional stability.
• Built-In Safety Features — Nonslip surfaces are available, plus FRP is nonconductive to reduce the risk of shock. 
• Virtually Maintenance-Free — Coloring is molded throughout, so it never needs painting.
