Composite utility – lighting POLES

For over thirty years, Top Glass has produced fiberglass composite utility/ lighting poles using a technology called centrifugal casting.

This technology  has been developed entirely inside the company and drawing on its design capabilities and production systems.
Due to their mechanical properties and strong resistance to atmospheric agents, fibreglass poles (GRP) adapt to various uses.

They are used as:  traffic light poles,  lighting poles,  advertising poles, signage and street furniture poles,  flagpoles, electrical poles, telephone line poles.

Furthermore fibreglass makes them both lightweight and easily portable by hand.  In addition our utility/ lighting poles do not require concrete plinths for installation or grounding in the presence of electrical equipment. Above all they do not require additional surface treatment (such as painting) or periodic maintenance.
As a result these features make Top Glass poles inexpensive compared to traditional options in steel, aluminium, wood or concrete.
Finally our lighting poles are certified according to EC directives.
