If we give a brief overview, bollards can protect your property from both accidental and intentional crashes. Let’s start with the first question.

What is a bollard and what can it be used for?

Bollards are short thick concrete posts that are used to prevent cars from going onto someone’s land or on part of a road. When installed primarily as a visual guide, they guide traffic and mark boundaries. As architectural elements, our products come in a wide variety of shapes and styles to accentuate or visually stand out in their settings. IDEA’s bollards may have decorative elements or be chosen to complement the landscape, but their primary consideration is resistance to impact forces.

Types of bollards and what they are used for?

Bollards are not only aesthetically pleasing but also protects your property. Let’s take a look at the many applications bollards are used for today — and how they might apply to your property.

Pedestrian guides: These bollards are almost purely decorative and are meant as a guide for pedestrians so they know which lanes were designated for them to walk in. They also help to keep traffic out of those spaces.

Security bollards: To help prevent stores from “smash and grab” burglaries, where a heavy vehicle smashes through a window of a shop and items can be looted in a short period of time, you can install security bollards.

Safety bollards: These are used for protecting against lower impact storefront crashes. These crashes hold you and your store accountable for damages and injuries, and safety bollards.

What is the purpose of a bollard?

A bollard is a short post used to create a protective or architectural perimeter. When installed primarily as a visual guide, they guide traffic and mark boundaries. Some criminals also crash into buildings to access the property and steal valuables. Therefore, bollards can prevent car crashes and the resulting damage to your property.

How do bollards prevent crime?

Bollards’ main purpose isn’t decorative, instead, our company’s bollards made of high-quality material — are intended to protect urban dwellers and visitors from rampaging vehicles that have been turned into weapons by drunk drivers or, worse yet, terrorists bent on inflicting carnage.
