Bollards for Residential & Commercial
Automatic bollards are a versatile solution for managing vehicle access in residential and commercial properties. These retractable barriers enhance security while offering convenience and style, which we see more and more in Scotland.
​
Bollards for Residential Properties:
-
Prevent unauthorized vehicle entry into driveways or private roads.
-
Maintain property aesthetics with customizable designs.
-
Offer peace of mind with automated, easy-to-use control.
​
Bollards for Commercial Properties:
-
Control traffic flow and protect pedestrian areas.
-
Secure entrances, loading docks, and restricted zones.
-
Durable construction ensures long-term protection and impact resistance.
Using Bollards as a Gate Alternative
Bollards can serve as an effective substitute for a full gate, offering a modern and streamlined approach to security and access control. Unlike traditional gates, bollards provide a less intrusive solution that still prevents unauthorized vehicle entry. They can be installed to retract into the ground, maintaining an open and welcoming appearance when not in use.
​
Advantages of Bollards Over Full Gates:
-
Space-Saving: Require less space and do not obstruct views.
-
Flexibility: Can be individually controlled to allow selective access.
-
Aesthetic Appeal: Maintain the open look of the property while still offering security.
-
Durability: Built to withstand impacts, providing robust protection without the need for a full barrier.
Our traffic & vehicle bollard options
There are various types of security bollards due to their versatility. Here are the most common:
Automatic Bollards
Also known as rising bollards, these retract into and out of the ground based on their control device. They efficiently control traffic in condensed areas or for site-specific applications.
Decorative Bollards
These add visual appeal to buildings and commercial premises and can mark specific areas such as handicapped parking. While not suitable for serious protection, they are highly customizable.
Fixed Bollards
These are permanent fixtures secured to the ground, providing strength and security. Typically made of strong materials like concrete or steel, they are not ideal for cramped spaces like car parks.
Removable and Retractable Bollards
Removable bollards temporarily secure or block off areas and can be placed or removed as needed. Retractable bollards retract into the ground when necessary and can be locked in place or removed for vehicle clearance.
Lighted Bollards
These bollards feature illumination for safety and aesthetics. They are available in various types such as fixed, retractable, embedded, or surface-mounted, offering versatility and enhanced protection.
