Fibreglass ladders-anyone use them?

[Tundrawolf]

Hi all,

I am in the process of purchasing a new ladder for my business (single man property maintenance) I had it in my mind that I would be buying an aluminium 3 section but came across the fibreglass ones on Wickes website, anybody got any opinions on them? The only advantage I can see with a fibreglass one is that it does not conduct electricity!
