For any pub landlord or café owner, the outside area is prime real estate, and  keeping it clean is a constant battle. The Beaumont CZ572 is a simple but brilliant bit of kit. It genuinely does what it says on the tin – the windproof lid stops ash from becoming a nuisance, which is a massive win for staff and  non-smoking customers sitting nearby.

  • Practicality: The windproof function is highly effective, saving constant table wiping on gusty days.
  • Appearance: The melamine can show scuffs or light stains over time with heavy use.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Shipwright's Arms in Bristol, a popular pub with a bustling harbourside terrace, was constantly struggling with ash blowing from traditional open ashtrays, creating a poor impression and  extra work for staff.

"We were forever wiping down tables and  apologising to customers. The wind coming off the water made it a nightmare. We switched to these Beaumont ashtrays, and  the problem vanished overnight. The tables stay clean, and  the staff can focus on serving, not chasing mess."

Robert Davies – General Manager

The switch resulted in a noticeable improvement in terrace cleanliness and  a 30% reduction in time spent cleaning and  maintaining the outdoor area between guest turnovers.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack and  ensure both the base and  lid are present.
  • Simply place the ashtray on any outdoor table or designated smoking point.
  • Position away from the very edge of tables in high-traffic areas to prevent them from being knocked over.
  • Ensure they are clearly visible for customers to use.

Keeping It Going

  • To empty, simply lift the lid off and  tip the contents of the base into a suitable waste bin.
  • Wipe both parts with a damp cloth and  all-purpose cleaner for daily maintenance.
  • For a deeper clean, melamine is generally top-rack dishwasher safe, but check your machine's guidelines.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers, as this can dull the sleek black finish over time.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Ashtray

Not sure which ashtray is right for your business? Here are a few things to consider.

Material Matters

Melamine offers the perfect balance. It’s shatterproof unlike glass or ceramic, and  won't rust or dent like some metals, making it ideal for busy outdoor use.

Consider the Elements

If your seating is exposed to any wind, a restaurant windproof ashtray is non-negotiable. It prevents mess and  improves the experience for all your customers.

Capacity & Size

A larger diameter like this 146mm model means less frequent emptying for your staff, which is a real time-saver during a packed service.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for simple, two-part designs. The easier an ashtray is to take apart and  clean, the more likely it is to be kept in a hygienic state by your team.

Match Your Aesthetic

A neutral black ashtray is a safe bet. It looks professional, doesn't show dirt easily, and  fits in with almost any style of outdoor furniture and  branding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this ashtray truly windproof?

A: Yes, the two-part design with a protective lid effectively shields the contents from wind, preventing ash from blowing out onto tables.

Q: What is melamine and  why is it good for an ashtray?

A: Melamine is a strong, lightweight, and  hard thermosetting plastic. It's highly durable and  shatter-resistant, making it much safer and  longer-lasting than traditional ceramic or glass in a commercial environment.

Q: Can it be put in a commercial dishwasher?

A: Yes, melamine is generally considered safe for commercial dishwashers on a standard cycle. However, repeated washing at very high temperatures can affect the finish over time.

Q: Will it melt or burn from a lit cigarette?

A: Melamine is heat-resistant and  will not melt or catch fire from a briefly resting cigarette. The indentations are designed for this, though prolonged direct contact with a flame is not recommended.

Q: How do you empty it?

A: It's very simple. You just lift the top lid off and  tip the contents from the bottom bowl into a bin.

Q: What are the exact dimensions?

A: The ashtray has a height of 59mm and  a width/diameter of 146mm (or 5¾ inches).

Q: Is the black colour likely to fade in the sun?

A: The melamine is durable, but like any plastic, extreme and  prolonged exposure to direct UV sunlight over several years may cause some gradual fading.

Q: Are these stackable for storage?

A: Yes, the shape allows them to be stacked neatly, which helps save valuable storage space in your stock room.

What Customers Are Saying

Does the job perfectly. We have a very windy beer garden and  these have stopped the constant mess. They're tough, too - been dropped a few times with no damage!

A very good commercial windproof ashtray. They look professional and  are so easy for the team to empty and  wipe clean at the end of a shift.

The Beaumont Promise: Durability for Demanding Venues

Choosing Beaumont for your bar and  tableware isn't just about buying a product; it's an investment in operational smoothness. For decades, Beaumont has been a cornerstone of the British hospitality industry, trusted by publicans and  restaurateurs for equipment that works as hard as they do. This Beaumont 146mm ashtray embodies that philosophy. It's not designed to be flashy; it's designed to be forgotten. Forgotten because it doesn't break when dropped. Forgotten because it doesn't create messes that need cleaning. Forgotten because it just works, day in and  day out. This reliability translates directly into business value: less money spent on replacements, less time wasted by staff on trivial cleaning tasks, and  a consistently professional presentation for your customers. It's a small but significant piece of the puzzle in running an efficient, customer-focused venue.

How a Simple Lid Keeps Your Tables Spotless

Ever wondered how a 'windproof' ashtray actually works? It’s not magic, just clever, practical design. The Beaumont ashtray features a specially shaped lid with a central funnel. When ash or a cigarette end is dropped through the hole, it falls into the protected chamber below. The lid then acts as a shield against the wind.

Think of it like a letterbox for ash. Once it's posted through the slot, it's incredibly difficult for the wind to get back inside and  blow it out. This simple one-way system means that even on a gusty day, the contents stay securely inside the base, not all over your tables, chairs, and  customers. It’s a low-tech solution to a very common problem.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pubs & Beer Gardens: Keep your outdoor tables clean and  presentable, improving the customer experience during busy periods.
  • Pavement Cafés & Bistros: A must-have for city-centre locations where wind tunnels can make a mess of outside seating.
  • Hotel Terraces & Balconies: Provide a clean, high-end solution for guests in smoking-designated areas without compromising on style.
  • Event Venues & Function Halls: Offer a practical and  durable solution for designated smoking points during weddings and  corporate events.
