Smoking Shelters

The law against smoking in businesses and areas used by the general public continue to increase nationwide.  Government and state properties, city and municipal buildings and all places of business have several considerations when deciding on appropriate accommodations for employees and patrons who wish to smoke while on their property.  Appearance has always been one consideration as most companies want to avoid congregation of their employees in front of or around the building entrance that will also be used by their patrons.   

Smoking shelters are a perfect solution to providing a designated and protected area for employees and patrons in non-smoking environments.  Porta-King offers our customers a variety of standard sizes and configurations, as well as the opportunity to design a custom manufactured shelter that will compliment and coordinate with the architecture of your existing facility.   Our shelters ship fully assembled, including an integral exterior roof and are ready for immediate use.   A structure that does not require assembly eliminates down time and the high cost and unsightly mess associated with on-site construction.   

As a custom steel fabricator, Porta-King shelters are manufactured of welded steel construction utilizing structural steel tubing.   Design of our standard shelters provides a full perimeter of clear tempered safety glass.   All windows include anodized aluminum framing eliminating the need for routine maintenance while enhancing the longevity of the shelter’s superior aesthetics.   The delivered product is a rigid structure for the harshest winds and climates with the durability you demand for environments exposed to continual use.

Standard or customized shelters deliver the best of Porta-King’s proven capabilities in every project.  The quality, durability and longevity of each shelter are established during Porta-King’s expert manufacturing process.  A rust inhibitive epoxy primer and two coats of air-dry industrial acrylic paint are applied to all steel surfaces.   You may select from a wide array of standard paint colors or an endless palette of custom colors.  We are pleased to match your paint sample without any of the custom paint charges incurred with other manufacturers, providing you with an exciting alternative to a generic shelter.

 

 
Most shelters are designed with open doorways and open space at the bottom of the walls to allow for air movement in and out of the shelter.  This is a preferred design for smoking shelters but can be modified to incorporate a layout specific to your individual requirements. 

In addition to distinctive features and superior quality, Porta-King offers an abundance of other options that will increase the functionality and eye-catching appearance of your shelter.  Special types of glass, tinted glass, domed and barrel roofs, lighting, heating, cooling, exhaust fans and other electrical systems are just a small sampling of the many options that can be included.  To keep your shelter and surrounding property looking its best, you will also want to consider other options like trash receptacles and cigarette urns. 

Let us make your job easier by enlisting the professional and experienced assistance of our sales and engineering team at the home office.   In addition, we offer free on-site design assistance and turn-key installation services through our nationwide network of Porta-King representatives.
