Bollards are required to maintain the security of storefronts, walkways, and infrastructure; they are generally all functionally similar.

The Deco Bollard Covers collection is a practical solution to changing the ordinary steel posts into things that are aesthetically pleasing without altering the structural framework.

The wide range of decorative bollard covers allows property owners to customize a more appealing curb appeal without compromising on safety or affordability.

These covers provide a balance of durability and appearance, whether you operate a retail facility, parking facility, or business platform.

What are Deco Bollard Covers?

Deco bollard covers are specially designed sleeves that are placed over existing steel bollards. These covers provide a finished, architectural appearance, as opposed to leaving posts bare or having to paint them over again.

They are also referred to as:

• Decorative bollards
• Decorative bollard sleeves
• Decorative plastic bollard covers

These solutions are suitable in situations where looks and security are important.

Why Choose Decorative Bollard Covers?

1. Enhance Visual Appeal

Simple steel posts may appear industrial and worn over time. Decorative covers provide an immediate upgrade to the look with clean and uniform finishes.

2. Cost-Effective Alternative

Substitution of bollards with cast iron or personal designs is costly. Ornamental sleeve bollards offer the same appearance at a small fraction of the price.

3. Reduce Maintenance

Painting steel bollards requires constant maintenance. Covers remove the necessity of having to repaint.

4. Easy Upgrade

No significant changes required- just attach the cover to the existing bollard.

Choosing the right size is the key to appropriate installation and appearance.

Standard vs Lighted Decorative Bollard Covers

Although all decorative bollard covers are made to improve the looks, some of them, including the 6" Metro UV Lighted, add an extra functional value.

Decorative sleeves are also available with light. They are highly beneficial in areas where the appeal and visibility matter, and it is simple to emphasize walkways and entrances without producing a cluttered and unprofessional look.

Major advantages of Decorative Plastic Bollard Covers include:

1. Durability: Designed to withstand outdoor environments, these covers resist common issues associated with exposed steel.
2. Consistent Appearance: Covers have a uniform appearance, as compared to paint, which chips and leaves an uneven appearance.
3. Lightweight Design: Easier to handle and install compared to heavy metal alternatives.
4. Customization Options: Some styles, like Skyline, can be customized in terms of color, hence they can be used in a branded environment.

Where are Decorative Bollard Covers Used?

Bollard sleeves are widely used in:

• Retail storefronts
• Shopping centers
• Parking lots
• Commercial buildings
• Warehouses
• Public walkways

They are employed to clean up the environment to be more elegant and business-like, without compromising the safety standards.
