Stainless Steel Sleeves That Protect Your Bollards And Your Property
The Stainless Steel Sleeve from Australian Bollards turns a security asset into a refined architectural feature. Designed to slip neatly over a certified HVM core, it delivers a clean, contemporary finish that suits streetscapes, plazas, premium retail frontages, and high-profile commercial sites. The result is simple. The site keeps its design language consistent, while the security hardware stays exactly where it should be, in the background and working hard.
The sleeve is engineered as the sacrificial part of the system. In the event of a vehicle strike, it is the outer sleeve that absorbs the scuffs, scrapes, and impact deformation, not the certified core or the concrete footing. Instead of cutting out foundations or undertaking major repair works, a damaged sleeve can be removed and replaced quickly. This approach reduces downtime, keeps traffic management requirements to a minimum, and significantly lowers lifecycle costs for asset owners.
Installation is straightforward and practical. The system is designed to follow natural ground contours, so runs can track gentle slopes, work around radius corners, and sit neatly against kerbs. Sleeves can be installed as single units to protect a doorway, or arranged in rows to define lanes, guide pedestrian movement, and create a strong visual edge. After an incident, a sleeve can be lifted off the base assembly and swapped without disturbing the foundation, allowing the site to return to full operation in a fraction of the typical time.
A brushed stainless finish provides a timeless, low-maintenance aesthetic that performs in both contemporary and traditional environments. Diameters, heights, and spacing can be tailored to suit each project, from discreet perimeter markings through to bold visual deterrence in high-risk locations.
For asset owners, facility managers, and designers, the Stainless Steel Sleeve offers a practical upgrade path for existing HVM bollards. The cores continue to deliver the heavy-duty protection, while the sleeves take care of the bumps and scrapes and keep the site looking sharp. Strong where it counts, smart where it shows, and designed to complement the space rather than compete with it, this product brings security and streetscape design neatly together.
