MILD STEEL Flag-Poles which are either electro or hot dip galvanised and then powder coated, are the most popular for installations at offices, hotels, government departments etc. STAINLESS STEEL Flag-Poles are more expensive than mild steel but have the advantage of zero maintenance and high prestige image. These Flag-Poles are used at important venues such as embassies, five star hotels and high profile commercial and governmental offices. FIBRE GLASS Flag-Poles, colour impregnated and maintenance free have universal application. They are commonly used at coastal locations where they are subject to corrosive, saline atmospheric conditions. ALUMINIUM Flag-Poles are predominantly for budget orientated installations where functionality is the key. However, on account of atmospheric pollution causing the aluminium to oxidise, the resultant black aluminium oxide becomes fixed into the textile of a flag through abrading against the flag pole and which discoloration cannot be successfully removed by cleaning. Hence the visual life of the flag is greatly reduced,necessitating premature flag replacement. IT IS ESSENTIAL that aluminium is either anodised or powder coated.Aluminium Flag-Poles should not be considered to be maintenance free. If zero maintenance is a criteria then either stainless steel or fibre glass Flag-Poles are the best solution.Continued
