Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Queen's Head, a bustling pub in central York, was constantly replacing broken ceramic ashtrays in their popular riverside garden. The cost and cleanup were becoming a persistent issue, especially during peak tourist season.
"We were going through old ashtrays like there was no tomorrow. They'd get knocked off tables, chipped during collection, you name it. Switching to this Beaumont melamine ashtray pack has been brilliant. They just don't break, and they look smart enough for our setup. It's one less thing to worry about on a frantic Saturday night."
Robert Davies – General Manager
The pub has reported a 100% reduction in ashtray breakages, saving an estimated £150 in replacement costs over the first six months and significantly reducing cleanup time for staff.

Keeping It Going

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these ashtrays heavy enough for windy conditions?
A: They are made from lightweight melamine, but the high-sided design is specifically there to help contain contents and protect against gusts of wind in typical pub garden settings.
Q: Can they be stacked for storage?
A: Yes, these ashtrays are designed to be fully stackable, which is ideal for saving space when clearing tables or storing them overnight.
Q: What is melamine and why is it good for ashtrays?
A: Melamine is a very strong, hard-wearing type of plastic that is shatterproof. This makes it much safer and more durable than glass or ceramic in a busy commercial environment.
Q: Are they easy to clean?
A: Absolutely. The smooth surface can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, or they can be washed thoroughly with soap and water. They are generally considered dishwasher safe.
Q: Will the black colour fade in the sun?
A: The melamine is coloured through, making it highly resistant to fading from UV exposure compared to painted or coated products. They will keep their smart look for a long time.
Q: Are they heat resistant?
A: Yes, they are designed to safely extinguish cigarettes and are resistant to the heat, with indents for resting them.
Q: Is the 177mm measurement the inside or outside diameter?
A: That is the overall external diameter of the ashtray at its widest point.
Q: How many ashtrays are in one pack?
A: This product is sold as a pack of 10 ashtrays, offering excellent value.

Ever heard a ceramic ashtray smash on a stone patio? It’s a sound that means hassle: staff have to stop what they're doing, carefully sweep up sharp fragments, and you're down one more piece of equipment. That's where melamine comes in. Think of it as the superhero of plastics – it’s a hard, thermoset resin that's incredibly durable and resistant to breaking. Unlike standard plastic, it has a weighty, quality feel, but unlike ceramic, it can be dropped without turning into a dangerous mess.

It's built to withstand the chaotic reality of a busy commercial environment, saving you money on replacements and keeping both your staff and customers safer.
