Realistic Wood Look Available for a variety of applications and uses, including: injection molded accessories, wood plastic composite solutions, outdoor furniture, and co-extruded capstocks. Achieve realistic look and feel of natural wood-grain aesthetics

Our poles for the same height and class will have significantly higher strength versus wood. As a natural material, wood poles are very inconsistent in strength and stiffness properties even among poles of the same wood species. INSTALLATION GridCore poles can be installed similarly to wood poles.

We can help you replicate the look and feel of real wood or metal in a variety of color choices including bold, dark colors that are resistant to heat build-up.

Unlike wood they can withstand strong storms without breaking. For Grade B construction, strength factors for wood is 0.65. 5 Pole tip horizontal deflection at the allowable Class load, based upon published mean moduli of elasticity of wood and FRP. Wood poles’ diameters are per ANSI O5.1 tables, and their (tapered) flexural stiffness.

More recently, traditional wood and metal utility poles and cross arms are increasingly being replaced by polymer composites, typically made with glass reinforcements and produced using pultrusion or filament winding. These materials are non-conductive and are more durable than wood or steel.

They can be used alone or in conjunction with other materials such as thermoplastics, wood, and metal, and manufactured with techniques such as overmolding, coextrusion, and thermal lamination to incorporate CFRTP tapes and laminates into hybrid, multi-material structures. The adhesive properties of thermoplastics enable the construction of sandwich panels and reinforcement of materials such as wood and metal through thermal lamination without requiring additional adhesives.
