Railway Signal Hoods Protective components for illuminated railway signals

NTET railway signal hoods are components manufactured in Glass Fibre Reinforced Polyester Resin (GFRP), designed for installation on illuminated railway signals.
The primary function of the hoods is to limit the lateral visibility of the signal, improving the readability of the light indication and preventing unwanted visual interference along the railway line.
The hoods are developed in compliance with RFI railway technical specifications and are suitable for outdoor use and operation in severe weather conditions.
