A Durable Alternative to Traditional Cast Iron
Duracastâ„¢ polyurethane has become widely specified as a practical and resilient alternative to metal bollards. Unlike cast iron, a polyurethane bollard will not rust, flake or corrode, making it particularly well suited to exposed coastal locations and high-traffic urban streets.
Key benefits include:
• Impact-resistant construction
• Corrosion and weather resistance
• Reduced maintenance requirements
• Consistent painted finish
• Lightweight handling compared to solid cast iron
For projects where a metal specification is preferred, the Blackpool design is also available in cast iron.
Designed for Heritage and Decorative Streetscapes
The rounded top and defined decorative band provide a balanced, traditional appearance that works well in conservation areas and regeneration schemes. As part of a wider family of heritage bollards and decorative bollards, the Blackpool polyurethane bollard can be specified across entire town centre improvement programmes to create a cohesive public realm.
Typical applications include:
• Historic high streets
• Promenades and waterfronts
• Civic buildings and municipal estates
• Retail and hospitality developments
• Residential streets with traffic calming requirements
Decorative highlighting is available (gold as standard, other colours on request) to enhance detailing or reflect local authority branding.
Installation Options for Operational Flexibility
The Blackpool PU bollard is supplied root fixed as standard, ensuring secure and permanent installation in high-footfall areas. Additional fixing options are available to suit operational needs:
• Root fixed
• Baseplate fixed
• Removable fixing
• Anti-ram version for enhanced vehicle deterrence
• Reflective banding for increased visibility
This flexibility allows specifiers to balance aesthetic priorities with practical site requirements.
Built for Long-Term Urban Use
Every polyurethane bollard in the Blackpool range is finished in a single Broxap standard colour (black as standard), with alternative RAL colours available upon request. The robust coating system supports durability in demanding public environments, including areas subject to vehicle impact, salt spray or de-icing chemicals.
The Blackpool design can be paired with complementary street furniture such as railings, litter bins and seating to establish a coordinated streetscape. It is often specified alongside other polyurethane bollards within wider traffic management or pedestrianisation schemes.
