Case Study: Architectural Pyramids

The Vintage Club in Indian Hills, California had a problem. The club used architectural pyramids made of lumber to cover their air conditioning units. However, the harsh desert elements (and insects) took their toll on those pyramids resulting in maintenance costs of $75,000 ever other year. The club decided this was cost prohibitive and searched for a solution which led them to fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), more specifically EXTREN by Strongwell. FRP can be UV-coated to withstand the sun and is not susceptible to rot or insect attack. The pyramids look just as beautiful as before and no longer require the expensive and time-consuming maintenance as before. More than anything, FRP displayed its worth as a material that can solve multiple problems at once.
