It can be easy to forget that the outside of your building is the first impression a visitor or customer has of you and your business. Luckily, many street furniture options are available to help you improve that first impression and make your outside area safer and more comfortable for users.
Cycle Parking Racks and Shelters
Good quality Bicycle Parking Racks are a common piece of street furniture found in workplaces of all kinds, especially large warehouses and schools.
Installing Cycle Parking Racks or Shelters has many benefits for your workplace, including:
- Encourages healthy and eco-friendly behaviours in employees and customers
- Keeping employees' or students' bicycles safe and secure
- Reduces the likelihood of people locking their cycles to random posts or bins, which makes the site look disorganised and can damage property
- Shows that the business cares enough about the environment to provide an alternative to driving
- Can protect cycles from the effects of wind and rain
Smoking Shelters
This kind of street furniture benefits smokers and non-smokers alike. By encouraging smokers to use designated smoking shelters, you can prevent people congregating by your entrances and exits, which can deter non-smokers from using your business.
Additionally, smoking shelters provide cover from the wind and the rain, improving their smoke-break experience. Finally, using a smoking shelter in conjunction with an ashtray/cigarette bin can be key to keeping your floors free from unsightly ash and cigarette ends.
Metal Bollards
These strong and sturdy metal posts are a vital piece of street furniture for protecting buildings and personnel from the dangers of reckless drivers. Using traditional metal bollards or stainless steel bollards along the side of a footpath or pedestrian zone will minimise the risk of cars hitting staff or customers. Similarly, they can be used greatly to prevent accidental (or deliberate) damage to property. They are also an excellent way of controlling parking areas or even restricting vehicle access.
