A beautifully brushed stainless steel bollard for decorative entryways, glass lobbies, Class A spaces, and premium clients. Meant to mount card readers, door stations, cameras, intercoms, keypads, entry/exit buttons, biometric readers, and other access control devices. Most often installed for aesthetics in high-end applications. The round tube is polished with a 180 grit #4 finish. The top is flat, not tapered, for an architectural design. Unlike any of its competing rivals, no fasteners can be seen after installation, this pedestal is mounted from the inside out using an access panel on the backside. Whereas a competing bollard will begin to wobble shortly after the initial installation (using a lightweight 2-piece anchor-bollard design), this heavy-duty stainless steel pedestal will hold steady regardless of the use and abuse because of its one-piece design and its .25" Thick base plate that mounts securely against the floor. This stainless bollard has passed our facewind testing protocol which determined it can survive sustained Category 5 hurricane force winds of 157 mph. (We even tested it up to 600 mph and it only began to flex 2mm.) Stainless steel pedestals are sought mainly for rust protection and beauty and this pedestal delivers without an exhorbitant cost. Each pedestal is wrapped in foam packaging and boxed individually for safe shipping. This pedestal is often sold with a mounting bolt kit and possibly with additional cutouts.
