AFE's one-piece fiberglass shelters provide a lightweight, corrosion resistant, insulated building which is easy to install and virtually maintenance free. The exterior and interior surfaces are covered with polyester gel coat which eliminates the need for painting. Gasketed door prevents leakage. Built-in lifting eyes make these units simple to lift into place. The shelters are insulated with one inch isocyanurate foam in the walls, roof and door. The fiberglass-laminate encapsulated foam has an R-value greater than 6.

Standard sizes range from 2'-4" long x 4'-6" wide to 8'-0" long x 12'-0" wide. Extended lengths are available.

AFE shelters have pre-wired corrosion resistant fixtures. Standard equipment includes a fan ( intake or exhaust), vent, electrical panel, duplex outlets, vapor-tight lamp, stainless steel hardware, and equipment mounting provisions.

Options include a window in the door, heater, panic bar, fire-retardant construction and partitions.

SPECIFICATION

The SHELTER building shall be molded fiberglass construction, factory pre-assembled to make a bonded unit with no external seams or joint covers. The walls and roof shall be integral. There shall be a three inch wide mounting flange around the entire lower perimeter (Specify external or internal).

The walls and roof shall be of sandwich construction consisting of 1/8th inch thick fiberglass skins and one inch thick rigid isocyanturate foam core (R Value = 6.7). The door shall be of fiberglass sandwich construction 1-3/4 inches thick.

The fiberglass laminate shall consist of polyester resin reinforced with a minimum of 25% by weight E-Glass. The minimum physical properties of the laminate shall be:

  • Tensile Strength 14,000 psi (ATSM D638)
  • Fluxural Strength 25,000 psi (ASTM D790)
  • Flexural Modulus 1,000,000 psi (ASTMD790)
