4 Reasons to Use Decorative Bollards as Part of Your Project Design

Cast iron decorative bollards are useful in wide variety of different applications. They could be used, to provide: impact resistance in parking lots, boundary in a landscaped area or a way to delineate an urban feature and paths. However, these examples are just the beginning, here are four reasons why you may want to use cast iron bollards in your next project.

1. Improving Pedestrian Safety

One of the most common ways to use cast iron bollards is to protect pedestrian areas, such as: tourist attractions, sports facilities and public parks, from vehicular traffic. When pedestrian areas come into proximity with congested traffic routes, the incidence of road traffic accidents increases. The pedestrian areas need strong protective measures, but the aesthetics also need to be preserved. Cast iron is very strong and yet able to be formed into all kinds of pleasing shapes.

2. Directing Traffic

Cast iron bollards make an interesting physical and visual barrier for drivers to observe in an urban environment. The driver can be easily directed to navigate the area they are driving through and pedestrian areas can be avoided. However, the cast iron bollard is typically installed into concrete with a steel core making them very tough. This offers the pedestrian a great deal of protection in the event of a vehicular accident.

3. Protecting Selected Structures

Sensitive locations, such as: government buildings, historical sites and areas of cultural significance, can be protected with cast iron decorative bollards. We live in times, where security issues have come to the fore, but we don’t want to panic or alienate the populace. Many beautiful buildings, would have their aesthetic appeal negated entirely by a series of ugly steel bollards. A cast iron bollard is the perfect solution, they look beautiful and yet they are extremely strong and resistant to collision damage.

4. Improving the Aesthetic Appeal

We’ve discussed how cast iron bollards can improve the aesthetics in an area as a secondary attribute. However, in some cases, it may actually be the aesthetics are the primary reason for installing cast iron bollards. Prime areas for this sort of installation, could be: revitalised older neighbourhoods, traditional public spaces and revamped historical sites. Adding cast iron bollards, adds a touch of class and elegance, that harks back to an era where beautiful design went hand in hand with craftsmanship.
