The green is fiberglass. We're using our hyven's green. It's non-conductive. That's the really only big benefit of fiberglass ladders. It's non-conductive. What does non-conductive mean? What does that actually mean? If you're working around power, electricity, you're not going to be grounded. So it's going to help prevent electrocution. You're not going to get shocked. So would aluminum be more or less durable? More durable. More durable. UV rays have an effect on the fiberglass. It'll break down the resins in the fiberglass. As the resins start to break down, you'll start to fill the glass fibers in your hands. That's happening to me before. Right. And at that point, it may become less non-conductive because you can actually wick water moisture into fiberglass if it's not got that good resin finish. With aluminum, it's pretty much indestructible. You can use it for 30, 40 years, and still be just like it was when it's brand new.
