ASF Ductile Cast Iron Posts

ASF, via our sister company SG Castings, offers the entire range of cast iron posts in ductile iron if required. This material application is particularly useful in areas of high ram raid risk or for parapets, where a higher impact and loading resistance may be required.

Steel/Stainless Steel Systems

Bespoke manufactured post and rail to take architectural design that next step. ASF can utilise existing bollard types or manufacture completely new styles for those projects that require an extra special touch.

Knee Rail

Manufactured in all materials, knee rail posts can be used where a single rail is all that is required, especially for flower bed protection or mounting on top of walls.

100% Recycled Plastic Post and Rail Manufactured entirely from environmentally impeccable hydrocarbons.

Sustainable and durable, ASF's recycled plastic post and rail offers a great alternative to more traditional materials.

ASF's recycled plastic post and rail and fencing products are not just the environmentally friendly choice, but offer a product that is strong, UV stable, splinter free, almost completely maintenance free, easy to clean, rust / rot proof and fully recyclable after use.

With an expected lifespan in excess of 40 years these products are manufactured from waste streams such as bottle caps, bottle crates and pre-used agricultural film and once processed are strong enough to be made into structures as strength critical as bridges and landing platforms.

Unlike other plastic products, ASF recycled plastic contains no softeners, chlorides, cadmium or other additives.

LED Illuminated Handrail

LED lighting technology has allowed the incorporation of both linear lights and spotlighting into handrails, offering a product by day that is a clean and stylish stainless steel handrail system and by night has the additional element of lighting suitable for waymarking and lighting design applications.

Cool to touch
LED's are essentially cool to touch at the bulb as they do not give of infra-red heat, meaning they can be used in handrailing applications without the risk of burning.

LED and UV
Another often overlooked benefit of LED lighting in external applications is the fact they give off almost no UV light, meaning they do not attract biting (or non-biting) insects.
