Bollards
Bollards are essential architectural and safety elements used to control traffic, protect pedestrians, and enhance the visual appeal of urban and commercial spaces. A bollard is a short, sturdy vertical post installed in the ground, serving multiple functions from traffic guidance to perimeter security. Whether you’re safeguarding storefronts, organizing parking areas, or elevating the aesthetics of a property, there’s a bollard type to meet every need.
Types of Bollards for Every Application
Safety bollards are commonly used in high-traffic areas to protect buildings and pedestrians from vehicle collisions. These heavy-duty bollards are made from robust materials such as steel or concrete and are often painted in bright colours or outfitted with reflective strips for maximum visibility.
Security bollards take protection a step further. Typically used in government buildings, data centres, and high-risk areas, these bollard posts are engineered to stop vehicular threats. Some models are crash-rated and built to withstand high-impact forces, providing critical security without compromising on appearance.
Removable bollards offer a flexible solution for areas requiring occasional vehicle access, such as event spaces, private driveways, or emergency access routes. These bollard posts can be locked into place for normal use and easily removed when necessary, providing both control and convenience.
We have decorative styles which combine function and form, adding a stylish touch to sidewalks, parks, campuses, and commercial plazas. Available in a range of designs—from classic cast iron to modern stainless steel—these bollard posts enhance curb appeal while maintaining safety and order.
