The smoking ban enforcement came into action in 2007 around the United Kingdom, and this ban put a stop to smoking in public places. For most, this was a fantastic idea, due to the fact it contributed to a smoke-free planet. However, for the regular smokers it posed an inconvenience, particularly in the working environment. If you want to make the working environment more appealing to smokers, while abiding by the law, why not get smoking shelters installed?
Abiding by the Rules
When you are a business owner you will need to abide by rules, regulations and laws. New laws state that it is prohibited for smokers to cluster at the main entrance of buildings and establishments, making smoking shelters a suitable investment. All shelters are crafted in compliance with the Smoking Ban legislation – Parliament Act 3368. The shelters are designed with covers and weather-resistant materials. Porches can be fitted in areas with minimal space, as well as open-fronted shelters with clear roofs in areas with more space. Freestanding structures are an ideal option if you have plenty of wall space to work with.
Fire-Resistant and Durable
Most materials used to manufacture smoking shelters will be tested for durability and fire resistance. Polycarbonate technology is favoured, because it is impervious to corrosion, fire and rust. Powder-coated aluminium and stainless steel features will add extra protection, thus enhancing safety for your employees and customers. Aside from being fire-resistant, the structures are normally fitted with shatter-proof glass, therefore you can expect the shelter to last for many years. Warranty and guarantees are usually included in the price of these products, so take your time to shop around.
Adding Accessories to the Shelter
If you are willing to spend a little more money on a shelter for your business grounds, consider introducing bins. Designed for the collection of waste and cigarette butts, these bins will help you keep the grounds litter-free. The risk of fire can be lowered with the installation of a fireproof bin, and you can entice more smokers into the shelter by getting seats fitted. Integrated perch seats and benches are available in an array of styles and colours, and many have adjustable feet. Rain, snow and sun can affect the condition of the shelter, therefore it’s wise to ask about exterior grade polyester powder coated options.
