Bumper Curbs in Plastic and Rubber | The Advantages

Plastic and rubber are the two most common substances from which bumper curbs are manufactured, and each presents unique advantages. Here at Monster, we manufacture our bumper curbs from premium recycled rubber, which creates a better overall product, albeit at a slightly higher cost. The cost aspect is the largest advantage that bumper curbs in plastic & rubber offer they are an extremely bottom-line driven solution. However, it is important to keep in mind that in this case, you get what you pay for.

Plastic lacks the durability of rubber, particularly in areas that are prone to heavy precipitation and freezing weather. When moisture penetrates tiny cracks in the plastic, it is able to freeze and expand, which causes additional damage and greatly reduces the lifespan of plastic parking curbs.

Plastic Bumper Curbs Lack Aesthetic Appeal

However, the problems with plastic products go further than simply a short lifespan. For many business owners, their parking lots are the first areas that customers experience. Not to mention the color or lack thereof.

Even if a business owner paints their bumper curbs to create a better overall aesthetic for their business, there is still a risk of chipped or faded paint, and the parking curbs will have to be periodically retouched to keep their paint looking attractive and vibrant.

Rubber Parking Curbs are the Superior Solution

These problems are issues that simply don’t exist with Monster rubber bumper curbs. Our rubber is a premium grade, which means it won’t chip, crack, or crumble like plastic. We’re so confident of their durability that we offer a three-year warranty on the product. We also offer bumper curbs in several colors, including black, blue, and terracotta, ensuring that you’ll be able to customize your parking lot to match the aesthetic of your business.

Conclusion

Another major advantage of Monster parking curbs is the weight. Rubber typically isn’t thought of as a ‘light’ material but compared to plastic, it is substantially easier to transport. While plastic parking curbs can weigh more than 200lb, Monster premium rubber bumper curbs weigh in at just 34lb, a fraction of the weight of plastic. This means installation can be a much quicker, and therefore less expensive, process.
