What damages bollards?

It takes time and experience to become an expert in vehicle safety. Our team has been working particularly hard for years to get to a point where we can confidently offer customers the finest products. This includes bollards in addition to crash barriers, speed bumps, and more. They come in a multitude of styles and sizes to suit the varying needs of everyone that shops with us.

Using a bollard is an extremely reliable and useful method of security, protection, and demarcation. You can use these installations in a myriad of spaces, both on the inside and outside of facilities. Their purposes could be to separate pedestrians from cars or marking a spot on a coastal path. They could even be employed to delineate parking spaces. Whatever the case, they come in a multitude of base materials for every situation and environment.

A bollard is inherently steadfast and hardy. Thus, their maintenance is frequently an afterthought. However, choosing a sufficient plan can save on unnecessary repairs and costs. This will help in the long term.

One of the most important things you need to know for bollard maintenance is what damages them. There are two main causes.

Environmental conditions

We design the bollards to endure adverse environmental and weather conditions. Over time though, they will have an effect on even the most durable materials. Ice, snow, torrential rain, strong winds, and even sunshine can affect them. For a normal bollard, it can be a challenging world. Moreover, coastal settings are vulnerable to saltwater. As for high traffic locales, they experience abundant particulates and similar pollutants.

Human interaction

The purpose of numerous bollard designs is to give drivers a visual aid. They do make mistakes though. Scratches, scrapes, and bumps are all part of a bollard's existence. Knowing how to deal with such problems can help you save on costs. For example, it may be a simple case of painting to cover scratches to prevent corrosion. It may even be a good idea to get bollard covers.
