 What size steeple do we need for our building?
Usually the steeple needs to be about the same height as your building from the ground to the point where it will be installed and the width of your base should be approximately 1/10 of the width of your building. Our staff will be glad to help you with the design process. See Steeples
- Can we make changes to steeples pictured in the catalog?
Yes. Louvers, stained “glass”, steeple crosses, applied moldings, and other options can be added or changed. Click Steeple Accessories for more information. Since most products are built from existing molds, some dimensions are set and we may not be able adjust them.
- What color steeples can we select?
White is standard, but almost any color is available.
We can even match custom colors if given a sample.
- How is roof pitch determined?
Pitch is the slope of the roof and is easily determined with a level and tape measure. If our technicians are installing your steeple, a simple picture or drawing is all we need to determine the roof pitch. Click “How to Get Your Roof Pitch” for more information.
- What if we want to install our own steeple?
In that case, we provide everything you will need for installation except tools. Click here to view a typical installation and roof mounting diagram.
- What type of maintenance is necessary for fiberglass products?
It is never necessary to paint fiberglass, the gel-coat finish is permanently molded into the product surface. Since steeples are exposed to the environment, they may need to be pressure washed every couple of years with a mild dish detergent.
- What colors are available for baptistries?
Blue, White and Bone are standard colors, but custom colors are available upon request.
- How is the water heated in fiberglass baptistries?
We carry Little Giant and Pinnacle brand heating products which are listed in our baptistry brochure. More detailed information is available upon request. Click “Baptistry Accessories” now for more information.
- How are baptistries installed?
We provide complete instructions and diagrams for installation of baptistries. Click on “Baptistry Installation” for more information.
- Can we leave the water in our baptistry?
Only if you opt to add our Protective Coating, which is guaranteed for 5 years. Otherwise, the baptistry must be drained after each use
- How long will it take to make my product?
Steeples usually take about 6-12 weeks to build (based on size) and baptistries can typically be built in 3-4 weeks. However, production times vary during the year and may take longer when our order volume is high. Ask your service representative for a better estimate of actual lead time when you place your order.
