As you explore your options for bollards, consider all factors, including material, size, shape and more. When you carefully consider the features you need, you can be sure you find the right one.
Materials
You can design the best bollards for your project by creating a functional structure that matches the aesthetics of your surroundings. For example, stainless steel can be adapted to a specific style and have a sustainable lifespan in all climates, while aluminum is a good choice to prevent rusting.
In addition, the different materials determine whether the bollard you choose is suitable as a safety device or for decorative purposes only.
Functionality
To determine the best design for your bollards, you should consider how they will function in their environment and their overall purpose. Bollards can provide a variety of services, such as managing traffic or blocking off pedestrian-only areas. In addition, you should consider any unique features needed to meet different functions, such as wheelchair accessible spaces or spaces for emergency responders.
Once you have determined the purpose of the bollard, you can create a design that meets its function.
Crash Ratings
Experts estimate that vehicles crash into stores, restaurants and other establishments 60 times a day, killing 500 people and injuring more than 4,000 each year. Because bollards are designed to save lives, they need to be properly tested to ensure they meet the required safety standards.
Design
Creating a unique design is essential to seamlessly integrate your bollards into the aesthetics of their surroundings. You can customize various elements, such as size, color, shape and material, to help them blend into their environment.
In addition, each type of bollard offers its own design elements that add to its functionality and appearance. Each uses a different material to help it function optimally. When choosing between types, you can use their requirements to help define the design. Clear bollard designs allow people to see how these objects can help them.
