Solihull wood look-a-like bollard

Bollards International's unique Solihull wood look-a-like bollard was specially crafted to act as the waymarker for Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council’s strategic cycle route and is designed to blend harmoniously with both urban and rural landscapes.  

As the original mould was derived from real wood, this square profile bollard features a true wood grain finish, having a mitred top and double recessed bands for highlight paint or tape, plus recessed disks for signage.

The principal drawback to wooden street furniture is its susceptibility to the environment. In the long term it is almost impossible to protect wood against the adverse effects of weather.

Wood has a tendency to rot and split, and needs regular and intensive upkeep to retain its good looks. Bollards International manufactures a range of polyurethane street furniture from recycled materials, which is able to masquerade as wood without the associated problems, ensuring that street furniture will remain in first class condition with little maintenance for years to come.

Produced using the company's Envirocast process and utilising our unique polymer resin gleaned from sustainable sources, the Solihull wood look-a-like bollard is the ideal option for use in landscaped grounds, such as cemeteries, local parks and gardens.

Bollards International’s parent company, IFS Chemicals, is a large player in the polymer chemical marketplace. Primarily producing polymers of various strengths and flexibility for insulation, automotive mouldings, high-performance marine items and packaging, the idea of producing a sustainable and a more environmentally friendly material for street furniture production was borne and a partnership with the street furniture and bollard industry flourished.

The company’s ethos is to find solutions at all stages of specification, production and on-site, be that in designing your bespoke product, ensuring environmentally friendly and sustainable production right through to product life and durability.

The ultimate goal is to offer the finest products around and to exceed expectations in terms of value, delivery and quality.
