• Modern, classic and contemporary designs to match existing barware and front-of-house decor.

How to choose the right Ashtrays

• Consider where the ashtrays will be used: choose compact tabletop models for bar counters and terraces, and wall-mounted or floor standing units for entrances and designated smoking areas.
• Match materials to your environment, opting for stainless steel or chrome-plated finishes for heavy-duty outdoor use and melamine or glass for indoor lounges.
• Assess capacity and size based on footfall; high-traffic venues may need larger or windproof ashtrays that reduce the need for constant emptying.
• Look for windproof or covered designs if your smoking area is exposed to the elements to keep ash contained and walkways clean.
• Choose styles that complement your barware and table service, from sleek modern designs to more traditional shapes.
• For hotels and restaurants with multiple smoking points, consider stackable or multi-pack ashtrays for easy distribution and storage.

Care and maintenance

• Empty ashtrays regularly to prevent odours, overfilling and accidental smouldering, especially in busy smoking areas.
• Clean with warm soapy water or a suitable non-abrasive cleaner to protect finishes on stainless steel, glass and chrome-plated models.
• For wall-mounted and floor standing ashtrays, inspect fixings and locks frequently to ensure they remain secure and safe for public use.
• Avoid harsh scouring pads that can scratch melamine, glass or polished metal surfaces and make cleaning more difficult over time.
• Allow ash and cigarette butts to cool fully before emptying into general waste, following your site fire safety procedures.
• Schedule routine deep cleaning of outdoor ashtrays to remove tar build-up and maintain a smart, welcoming appearance.
