Aluminum or Fiberglass ladder at rmcindia.in

Normally people, in and out of the trades, use some type of climbing device on a regular basis. Say, for the homeowner it can be something like a step stool to reach higher shelves, or change a

light bulb.

So we can say that,

"A ladder is a ladder, right?"

How should we choose between Aluminum and Fiberglass ladders. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Aluminum Ladders

Fiberglass Ladders

Lightweight

Strong and durable

Long-lasting construction

Weather-resistant

Resists corrosion

Great for heavy-duty construction

Ideal for painting, roofing and siding

Safe for working around electricity, provided they are clean and dry

Here in this article, Let’s throw some light on why choose Fiberglass Ladders over Aluminum ladders:

Step vs. extension ladders

For general purpose step ladders, fiberglass is the go-to choice. Step ladders are one of the most common types. They are self-supporting ladders that can be used anywhere and are handy for common

household tasks and more. One type of step ladder is the twin stepladder which allows two people on the ladder at once.

Even though they’re naturally going to be heavier than aluminum, but when it comes to being strong/ sturdy/rigid, fiberglass definitely is the better choice.

Price Comparison

In general, fiberglass ladders are a bit more expensive than aluminum. But the sturdiness and all-around safety they offer is worth the sacrifice.

Safety

Like we mentioned earlier, fiberglass ladders take the award for the most safe between the two, hands-down.

Their combination of heat resistance, non-electrical conductivity, and supreme sturdiness/rigidity make them the obvious winner if safety is your primary concern (since it’s safety first, safety

second and safety always!).

Also, our praise towards fiberglass ladders doesn’t mean that aluminum is useless, or bad in any way. A good quality aluminum ladder will suit just fine, as long as you abide by the weight limit, and don’t leave it sitting out in the rain for years on end.

At the end of the day, choosing the right ladder starts with thinking what kind of job you’re going to be using it for. RMC designs FRP ladders for use where safe vertical climbing access is

required. We also develop a fixed ladder system to meet site-specific requirements. In addition, RMC FRP ladder provides you with corrosion resistance, low maintenance, lightweight, non-conductive,

slip resistance, and high strength.
