Why your business should install a smoking shelter in 2022

July 15, 2022

A Smoking Shelter can benefit your company in a variety of ways… 

To comply with all current government legislation, all UK workplaces and enclosed areas must be completely smoke-free. Many companies are taking the same approach to e-cigarettes or vapes. While this rule has been in place for some time, many companies, including workplaces and venues across the UK, do not provide appropriate enclosed facilities for their workers or customers to smoke or vape.

A smoking shelter is the best solution

smoking shelter is a basic enclosed structure with a glass or Plexiglas roof and sides. Smokers will surely enjoy any refuge from the elements.

Installing smoking and vaping shelters allows you to comply with UK rules while also providing a safe environment for people who wish to smoke or vape. This helps to improve the aesthetics and appearance of your business. It also provides a separate smoking or vaping area for those who choose to smoke or vape.

Purchasing Guide

Due to smoking being prohibited for many years, you must notify workers and visitors to your site that they must use designated smoking locations and lead them to such areas. By providing specialised spaces for these activities, smoking and e-cigarette shelters will benefit your business, as well as your employees and consumers. All of our smoking shelters are fully compliant with UK Smoking Laws and come in a variety of designs to match the décor of your company.

Outdoor Smoking and E-Cigarette Shelter Designs

The smoking and vaping shelters on our Shelter Store website were all built with smoking regulations in mind. With more than half of the sides left open to let smoke disperse quickly while giving smokers weather protection.

A large smoking shelter does not have to be an eyesore on your premises, and numerous appealing designs are available to suit any location or enterprise. Basic wall-mounted shelters, for example, are available. Additionally, steel frame variants with polycarbonate or glass sides give extra protection without overly confining the structure. This keeps them from being designated as enclosed places while providing a suitable environment for smoking and socialising.

The Carrington Cycle Smoking Shelter may be the best alternative if you operate a large company with many employees. This stylish smoking area serves two purposes. It’s a great alternative for folks who wish to provide both a bicycle and a smoking shelter in the same location.

Small Wall Smoking Canopy is ideal for businesses with limited space. It can hold up to three smokers and is powder-coated for enhanced weather protection. It houses folks who wish to smoke or vape while appearing professional and clean.
