Decorative Detailing for Civic Streetscapes
The Birmingham polyurethane bollard incorporates carefully proportioned decorative rings beneath a smooth domed head, giving the unit architectural presence without excessive ornamentation. This makes it well suited to:
• Historic high streets
• Town centre public realm schemes
• Municipal buildings and civic squares
• Cultural and heritage-led developments
• Residential regeneration projects
As part of Broxap’s wider family of decorative bollards and street furniture bollards, the Birmingham model can be specified across larger phased schemes to maintain visual continuity.
Durable Polyurethane Construction
Manufactured from high-performance Duracastâ„¢ polyurethane, this polyurethane bollard is engineered to withstand the rigours of urban life. Unlike untreated metal, polyurethane will not rust or corrode, even in exposed or coastal conditions.
Key material advantages include:
• Impact resistance for minor vehicle contact
• Resistance to corrosion and weathering
• Reduced maintenance compared to cast iron
• Consistent factory-applied painted finish
• Long service life in high-footfall areas
For projects where a traditional metal specification is required, the Birmingham bollard is also available in cast iron.
Installation and Security Options
The Birmingham PU bollard is supplied root fixed as standard to provide secure and permanent anchorage. Additional configurations are available to meet site-specific requirements:
• Root fixed
• Baseplate fixed
• Removable option for controlled access
• Anti-ram version for enhanced vehicle resistance
• Reflective banding to improve visibility in traffic environments
Decorative highlighting is available (gold as standard, alternative colours on request), enabling the bollard to reflect local authority branding or heritage detailing.
Suitable for Coordinated Street Furniture Schemes
The Birmingham polyurethane bollard can be paired with other elements such as railings, benches and litter bins to create a cohesive and well-defined streetscape. It is often specified alongside complementary PU bollard designs where a consistent palette of materials and forms is required.
As experienced manufacturers and suppliers of polyurethane bollards throughout the UK, Broxap supports projects from small access control installations through to large-scale public realm redevelopments.
