Why Would You Use Stainless Steel Bollards?

You don’t have to travel far within cities to see stainless steel bollards – such is their versatility that they can be used for a variety of reasons. Compared to traditional concrete bollards they are stronger, more versatile, functional, and even more beautiful – yes, we did say beautiful!

Bollards these days are commonly used as stationary blockades which prevent cars from passing through a certain area. They’re also used in car parks and for directing traffic. The bollards can be placed close to each other so that people can get through but car’s can’t.

They’re even being used in Australian shopping malls to prevent people from taking their shopping trolleys out into the street. Using stainless steel bollards in this way is a far easier wy of enforcing this restrictment without shopping mall managers getting grief from customers.

That’s all well and good, but why use stainless steel bollards?

Temporary or permanent use

Not all bollards are permanent and in fact when there is a need for a temporary barricade then removable bollards are essential. Stainless steel bollards are lighter than concrete bollards without compromising on their level of sturdiness. They’re the ideal choice for events and scenarios where it’s necessary to direct crowds and keep them under control.

Decorative

Let’s face it, concrete bollards aren’t exactly stylish. Stainless steel bollards, on the other hand, can be decorated to make them eye-catching while also being functional. They can also be used to jazz up buildings and landscapes. Let’s not forget, they’re also extremely resistant to wear and tear and corrosion.

Extremely versatile
