Designed for easy maintenance with 100-300 litre capacities, these bins support sustainable waste management systems.

Contemporary benches combine cast iron frames with recycled composite timber or stainless steel elements. Available in multiple configurations, they offer wheelchair accessibility and custom colour finishes. The materials resist weathering and graffiti, ensuring low-maintenance use in parks, plazas, and transport hubs across Ireland and the UK.

Security bollards come in fixed or removable designs with anti-ramraid options. Manufactured from powder-coated ductile iron or stainless steel, they include reflective strips for visibility. Available in various heights and diameters, these bollards protect pedestrian zones while complementing urban aesthetics.
