There is no need for bollard security to be ugly
When you have more than thirty years of experience in the barrier industry, it is easier to supply clients with reliable products. This is something we do every single time. With us, you can find suitable bollards, handrails, crash barriers, and more. In addition, we sell our goods for reasonable prices, and install them nationwide.
The importance of aesthetics
These days, we want the locations where we have fun, live, and work to look beautiful. When they are, spaces encourage responsibility and civic pride. They engage the people that utilise them and also have the potential to influence quality of life and wellbeing. This is essential when you think that, according to the UN, 68% of the global population shall reside in cities by 2050.
Nonetheless, even though aesthetics are critical, our cities and towns must work. It does not matter how great everything looks if our spaces are unpleasant to use, inaccessible, and unsafe. As a result, with urban architecture and design, you must find the right balance.
Making things harder is that our contemporary world comes with a series of obstacles. For instance, thanks to the current level of car ownership and lack of sufficient parking in many areas, pavement parking has become the norm. Furthermore, with terrorism continuing to threaten the UK and the world, we must keep our places and people secure.
A clear solution
One clear solution to such obstacles is to use barriers and bollards. These have not always been welcome. This is mainly because the councils have merely put them down without thinking about how they would influence the feel and look of an area. The results were not always attractive.
With street bollards though, there is no need for you to pick between functionality and design. They don't have to be a necessary evil. You don't need to undermine aesthetics for safety reasons. If you use a considered approach, you can produce an attractive, lively neighbourhood full of life. At the same time, the infrastructure can keep people safe. You just need to choose the right products. This can include bollard covers to dress them up or you can incorporate them into things like planters.
