Hard Landscaping - Seaside Special
Marshalls at Ecobuild - Demonstrating the superior performance of Ferrocast®
street furniture
Seating is an opportunity, it makes people stop, makes them wait, slows their world for just a second. Is there any other street furniture product that is used as much as a seat?
Planners, architects, urban designers - remember, when you plan for a seat it will be much more than just another product - it’s a place for workers to take their lunch, it’s a much needed rest, it’s a picnic and a meeting point. A crossing place for humanity, where love is lost and love is found, it has no discrimination, and only friends. Whether it provides a place to enjoy a spectacular view, or simply a chance to rest the legs and watch the rat race pass by, seats are possibly the most human element to many schemes.
Even more than this, seating has a key role to play in the history of street furniture - the wealthy Victorian rail companies commissioned intricate cast iron patterns emblazoned with their logo’s as resting places for their weary travellers - not only the first public seating, but probably the first advertisement and corporate placement too.
Architectural Street Furnishings have an extensive range of standard seats as well as complete bespoke capabilities. Manufactured entirely in the UK, with an onsite recycling facility and a multi-skilled, vastly experienced staff team, ASF can manufacture seating for any purpose.

Come and join the Marshalls team at this year’s Ecobuild, stand S1620, where they will be demonstrat- ing the superior performance of Ferrocast® street furniture.
Ferrocast® has become an increasingly popular material choice for a wide range of street furniture applications because of its looks, strength, high durability, low maintenance, design flexibility, and value for money. Whilst capable of exactly replicating the appearance of Cast Iron, Ferrocast®, manufactured in the UK, offers so much more, with a wide range of benefits over the older material, which is now rarely available from a UK foundry. In fact, Marshalls challenges you to visit the stand and see if you can tell the difference between the two materials.
Ferrocast® is an engineering grade polymer originally developed for use in North Sea Oil applications. These harsh environments were perfect testing grounds to prove that Ferrocast® would be ideal for use as a street furniture material capable of withstanding the rigorous conditions of the urban environment.
With a high impact resistance, Ferrocast® products reduce the risk of fracturing on impact and causing
hazards for pedestrians. Similarly, Ferrocast® products are highly chip resistant making them ideal for heavily trafficked areas such as supermarkets and pedestrian- ised zones. This high level of durability means low maintenance costs.
This lightweight product will not rust or corrode, a quality which has made it a popular choice at seaside locations where Cast Iron quickly rusts and requires regular costly maintenance, and often full replacement. In many of these cases throughout the UK, Ferrocast® has been used to replace these Cast Iron systems. In fact, a unique benefit of Ferrocast® is that moulds can be created quickly, and cost effectively by taking casts from the degraded Cast Iron products and producing exact replicas in polyurethane. Furthermore, the reduced weigh-in of value of Ferrocast® is a major theft deterrent.
