Ultimate Series™ Exterior Fiberglass: Fiberglass of the Future
Major Industries and CRANE Composites, Inc.® have collaborated to create the next generation of exterior fiberglass which Major has labeled the Ultimate Series™. This fiberglass of the future is the biggest single performance enhancement in exterior FRP since the introduction of Tedlar® to the daylighting industry nearly thirty-five years ago.
The road to success in developing a new fiberglass face sheet has been time consuming, technically challenging, and very rewarding. In simple terms, CRANE Composites is providing a totally new technology/chemistry in the base resin system. Their new SunStrong™ polyester resin package of polymers, UV inhibitors, and color stabilizers provides the best weathering performance ever seen in the daylighting industry. This leading edge technology in the base sheet has become the foundation for Major Industry's Ultimate Series™.
The Ultimate Series™ is really two different products created to provide the necessary level of weather protection required for your project's specific location or environment. Major Industries starts by building their translucent panels using SunStrong™ exterior FRP face sheets. Once the panel has been properly cured under heat and pressure, the manufacturing process continues with the application of the appropriate weathering surface. These post-applied coatings are specially designed for application to fiberglass and add significant resistance to color change and fiberbloom over the long-term.
Our standard Ultimate Series™ product is called the "Silver Edition" which is designed to handle all but the most extreme solar environments; this exceptional product offers outstanding weatherability and long-lasting color stability. Pricing includes a standard 10-year color warranty and a 25-year fiberbloom warranty.
Our flagship product in the Ultimate Series™ line is our "Platinum Upgrade". This product is indicated for extreme solar environments or when the owner is specifically concerned about achieving the longest possible service life. This factory-applied upgrade provides a remarkable 28+ year expected service life. Pricing includes a 20-year color change warranty and a 25-year fiberbloom warranty.
We believe that offering owners a technological breakthrough like the new Ultimate Series™ FRP face sheet for their next translucent daylighting project is the greatest value available in commercial daylighting today. Our strong warranties and commitment to customer satisfaction make Major Industries, Inc. the ideal partner for your next daylighting project.
