Scott's Shadowing day @ Street Furnishings Ltd

Street Furnishings opened their doors today to a very special guest!



Scott has decided to join us for the day on his Shadowing Day from his Secondary School.

Once settled in at the office with his first Fanta of the day, (having already helped on a delivery and collection with his Dad) 
We asked him to help us in producing a permanent area directional sign to be used in the Windsor area. (we dont think for the Queen)

Firstly starting with an Aluminium Blank.
We cut the required lettering on a computer with a plotter. The black vinyl then had to be weeded. This means you have to remove all the unwanted vinyl to just leave the lettering and numbers that we needed for the sign.

After the vinyl letters were visable we covered them with application tape ( sticky backed paper) we then applied pressure to the application paper so that the letters were then transfered to the paper.



We then applied the lettering and numbers to the aluminium blank. All that was then left to do was to remove the application tape.

One new sign ready for the Highways of Windsor!

Manchester Bollards

A few shots of our Cast Polyurethane Manchester Bollards.

A Classic design, these bollards recently installed in Berkshire.


These are cast polyurethane bollards on a steel core and can be supplied as a fixed version or as removable complete with a socket which can be padlocked in place. (As pictured above).
There is also a brand new flexible version, ideal for car parks where the odd bump from car bumpers is inevitable, with the flxible version neither car or bollard are damaged.
As the Bollards are made of polyurethane they are considerably lighter in weight than cast iron making it easier for lifting when removing the bollard from the socket. 
The product is also an extremely tough product being highly vandal resistant.

History of Keep Left Bollard

The picture above shows the evolution of a common site on our roads, the beloved Keep Left Bollard and below, is what we believe is the future for this key safety product used on our roads, The Night Owl Bollard!!


Night Owl Bollards

Hertfordshire welcomes our Night Owl Bollard
Pictured below installed in a brand new Pelican Crossing site in Hemel Hempstead.
The bollards are designed to withstand heavy impacts at all angles while maintaining  its Diamond grade highly reflective surface to BS EN 12899 2007.



These new style bollards make sense to install as they save money short term & on a long term basis, as they are cheaper than illuminated bollards, cheaper to install, and as they are not illuminated use no electricity.

Highly visible by day..........



& Highly visible at night.........



The Night Owl Bollard has been tested by Mira test facility and has passed its Passive Safety test 75/NE4 of BS EN 12767.

The Night Owl Bollard has been tested and conforms to BS EN 8442 2006 for self righting, impact resistance, corrosion resistance and loose particle testing.
