For a business in a large city, it is essential to add bollards as an extra layer of security. You want to keep pedestrians safe who plan on entering your establishment, and bollards guide people to their proper destination. You won’t have to worry about car traffic getting too close to the curb, and your patrons can feel safe around your store.

Bollard Security Needs

 

Your business is unique, and it’s essential to install bollards that maximize security, as well as allow functionality. Sometimes, you will need to restrict access to certain areas, but will need to allow movement at other times. There are actually options to install removable bollards, which will allow for a customized security solution for your business.

 

Types of Security Bollards

 

Depending on your specific needs, there are a variety of bollards that can improve security for your business. If you want your bollards to handle a large impact, fixed embedded steel bollards help provide strong security. Surface mounted steel bollards will allow for more options in terms of placing the bollards, but it is less resistance to impacts, which is an issue for vehicle security as well. If you want protection and flexibility, removable embedded steel bollards can absorb a bigger impact than surface mounted steel bollards, but offer the ability to allow and restrict access as you see fit. Most business owners find that having a flexible option is important, and the owners don’t have to give up their security just to allow for more options.
