Staying Safe and Stylish with Security Bollards
When they think about bollards, Perth residents and business manager may not consider them aesthetically pleasing. This is quite understandable, as bollards have not really been designed with aesthetics in mind until fairly recently. The need for high-security bollards that don’t detract from the looks of a property and perhaps even add to them has heralded a new direction for the humble bollard. Let’s take a closer look at what is available and what can be achieved with this new take on a security favourite.
The Bollard Basics:
A bollard is a post; it’s a simple and practical way to protect pedestrians and property from vehicular damage. Individually, a bollard can be effective, but when the collision is spread amongst multiple bollards the force exerted upon them can be nullified effectively. They are also a practical solution as different kinds of bollards can be installed that can be removed when needed or retracted at certain times throughout the day. Now that we also have aesthetically pleasing bollards, we can enjoy the additional security and still have an attractive property.
When Used as a Design Feature:
When a more attractive brushed aluminium or powder coated bollard is used at a property, the sky's the limit on looks and functionality. Additional security can be provided by creating a physical boundary or by separating various areas. Dependant upon the design, the area can be made to feel as modern or impressive as you would like it to be. This can be particularly important if you have a lot of visiting clients that you need to impress. This can be best seen at many private hospitals and clinics, where polished metal bollards are often seen, and they make a bold statement with their clean lines.
Improving Safety Levels:
Many people are very concerned about security and bollards can certainly help in that regard. However, some people remain uninformed on the considerable safety benefits that bollards can bring to their site. The obvious example here is, of course, the separation of pedestrians and vehicular traffic, but there are other safety benefits. The bollards can be made as a reflective surface, or they can be fitted with lights to improve visibility. This will reduce the incidences of tripping and provide additional lighting for workers arriving early and working late. Care should always be exercised in the materials used for both construction and finishing the bollard. The best combination can vary a great deal depending upon the location, so seek expert advice before you have any work carried out.
