Benefits:
Fiberglass won't rust or contaminate. It can be immersed
in water and easily washed down. Structural fiberglass
color won't ever "chip off" because it is molded into the
fiberglass.

counterparts ( usually 2-3x). Fiberglass systems have more
"give" than steel, components such as handrail sway a
bit.
