Barrier designs with the edge

Designers have realised, with research to back them up, that the ambience of a car park enhances or contaminates the user's opinion of the facility it supports. No matter how convenient the location, if the car park is cold, dark, dank and uninviting, then many people will take their custom elsewhere, and their opinion of the facility will be consequently degraded.

Recent reports have acted as a catalyst for a leap forward in car park safety barrier-product development. Anyone involved in car park design, management or maintenance needs to be aware of the latest requirements.
