If the bollards in front of your business, stadium, or other commercial/industrial location require coverage, you have two durable options to select from: plastic and stainless steel. But which is right for your needs? To help you decide, learn more about each bollard cover.

Plastic Bollard Covers

Plastic bollards come in a diverse range of colors and customization options. For example, if your brand’s color scheme is red, yellow, and orange, you can choose plastic bollard covers in one or all of these hues. The ability to customize plastic bollard covers eliminates concerns about matching or complementing your brand’s colors. In addition to customizing plastic bollard covers as you wish, these products are UV- resistant to prevent fading. This is particularly ideal if your bollards are located in a sunny area or your business is in a perpetually sun-drenched region of the country. Because your plastic bollard cover colors will not fade, you won’t have to worry about premature replacements or aesthetic issues.

Plastic bollard covers are also made of durable, high-density polyethylene or HDPE, and are easy to install and replace. While it is unlikely that you will have to replace plastic bollard covers anytime soon after installing them, knowing they take little time to redo provides peace of mind.

Stainless Steel Bollard Covers

These bollard covers are celebrated for the sleek, high-end appearance they provide. Such covers are ideal for luxury boutiques, Michelin-star restaurants, luxury spas, and all other high-end businesses requiring bollards. Stainless steel bollard covers will not take away from your business’s look and feel, as they effortlessly blend with luxurious surroundings.

Additional reasons to select stainless steel bollard covers include their corrosion resistance, though it depends on which type of stainless steel cover you select. Type 316 is what you want for corrosion protection. If your business or industrial park is located in a coastal or harsh environment, Type 316 covers will not corrode and look unsightly. For example, say you operate a restaurant in Atlantic City, NJ, and need bollards for your parking lot. Type 316 stainless steel bollard covers resist salt air- related corrosion and contribute to your restaurant’s appearance.

Yet another perk of stainless steel bollard covers is the anti-graffiti possibility. If graffiti is a common problem in your region, you can have your stainless steel bollard covers customized with an anti-graffiti treatment to keep them looking pristine.
