Parking & facility: the products

Wheel stops

A wheel stop is the floor block that decides where a vehicle stops in its bay.

It prevents contact with walls, columns and the next car, and sets the parking layout more firmly than a painted line. In car parks, estates and plant floors it is fitted once and stays for years.

Bollards, fixed & removable

Bollards, fixed and removable, are the vertical obstacle that keeps vehicles outside a given line.

They are used in pedestrian zones, at building entrances, in front of shopfronts and at service road mouths, with removable types allowing access when needed.

Decorative versions are chosen for their fit with surroundings, steel ones for physical resistance.

Tactile indicators & anti-slip

Tactile indicators and anti-slip surfacing give information to blind and partially sighted pedestrians through the floor. A blister surface means "stop here", a bar surface means "travel this way".

Stair heads, platform edges and crossing approaches are the mandatory locations. Anti-slip surfacing gives grip at those same points when wet.

How to choose

This family is the wear hardware of car park and plant floors. Bought once, left in place for years, taking on itself the damage that would otherwise reach the structure.

The choice starts with what is being protected. A wheel stop goes between vehicle and wall, a bollard between vehicle and structure, tactile surfacing on the pedestrian route. Each product answers one kind of contact.

Installation decides the life of everything in this family. An unfixed wheel stop migrates and a bollard without a foundation lies down at the first contact. It is the fixing that fails rather than the product.

Visibility is the second function and it gets neglected. On a dim covered level a product with a reflective strip does not merely soften an impact, it usually prevents it.

In a bright area a plain colour is enough.

When asking for a quotation, state the floor type, the number of bays and the vehicles using them. The anchor choice follows those three, and a wrong anchor costs more than the right product.

In this family the product is bought once but the maintenance is continuous. An annual bolt check, greasing the mechanism and cleaning the reflective faces cut out most failures at the source.

Position is as much a decision as product choice. A wheel stop in the wrong place narrows the footway, and a bollard placed without measuring closes off the manoeuvring space. The measurements are taken on site.
