A Classic Profile for Civic and Urban Settings
The Manchester polyurethane bollard draws on established civic design cues, making it suitable for both heritage and contemporary environments. Its balanced proportions and decorative detailing allow it to integrate seamlessly within:
• Town and city centre pedestrian schemes
• Conservation areas
• Retail and leisure developments
• Public squares and transport interchanges
• Education and healthcare campuses
As a versatile traffic bollard, it is frequently specified to define pedestrian zones, manage vehicle access and protect building frontages.
Durable Alternative to Traditional Materials
Duracast™ polyurethane has been engineered to deliver long-term resilience. Unlike cast iron or mild steel alternatives, polyurethane bollards will not rust, flake or suffer surface corrosion, reducing maintenance requirements over time.
Key performance benefits include:
• Resistance to corrosion and weathering
• Impact tolerance against accidental vehicle contact
• Reduced repainting and lifecycle maintenance
• Consistent structural integrity in high-footfall areas
• Long-lasting factory-applied finish
An anti-ram version is available for projects requiring increased vehicle resistance, providing additional protection in high-risk or security-sensitive locations.
Installation and Configuration Options
The Manchester PU bollard is supplied root fixed as standard, ensuring secure installation within concrete foundations. A range of additional options allows the product to be adapted to specific site and access requirements:
• Root fixed
• Baseplate fixed
• Removable fixing for controlled vehicle access
• Anti-ram specification
• Decorative highlighting (gold as standard, alternative colours available on request)
• Reflective banding for enhanced visibility
• Post and railing conversion for coordinated perimeter solutions
• Available in cast iron and mild steel where alternative material specifications are required
Each polyurethane bollard is supplied painted in a single Broxap standard colour (black as standard), with other RAL finishes available to align with local authority palettes or project branding.
Designed for Coordinated Public Realm Schemes
The Manchester PU bollard is often specified alongside Broxap’s wider range of decorative bollards and protective street furniture to create a cohesive streetscape solution. It can be paired with seating, litter bins and railings to achieve consistent detailing across regeneration and infrastructure projects.
