How to Equip a Shelter Properly

Why Do We Prioritize Metal Furniture for Shelters?

Today, a shelter is not just a temporary refuge, but a full-fledged part of the operational infrastructure. Analyzing inquiries from our clients — from large factories to private schools — we have identified three main problems faced when equipping shelters with ordinary furniture. First is rapid deterioration, as wood and chipboard often cannot withstand the humidity of basement premises. Second is the lack of space, as standard office chairs occupy too much useful area. Third is the difficulty of cleaning, since upholstered furniture cannot be fully disinfected. Our manufacturing offers a comprehensive solution to these problems.

Comfort and Ergonomics: People Must Be Comfortable

Staying in a shelter is often associated with stress. The employer's task is to minimize physical discomfort. Our engineers have developed designs that allow accommodating the maximum number of people comfortably, even in small rooms.

Basic Solution: Shelter Benches

Our shelter benches combine a sturdy metal frame capable of withstanding heavy loads with seats made of treated wood. Sitting on "bare" metal is cold and harmful to health, so wooden elements provide thermal comfort, while the ergonomic height helps reduce spinal strain during long waits for the "all clear" signal.

Space Optimization: Bench with Hooks

For rooms where it is impossible to install a separate cloakroom, we present a "2-in-1" model. This is a bench with hooks, which solves the age-old problem of storing outerwear. The design features a high stand with a hook strip behind the seat. A person sits down, and their jacket hangs neatly behind their back, not occupying the adjacent seat or falling onto the floor. This is an ideal option for schools, hospitals, and production workshops where speed and organization are important.

Economic Benefit: Why is Metal Cheaper than Wood?

When buying furniture for business, it is important to calculate not only the "price tag" cost but also the operating cost. Metal furniture is an investment with the highest Return on Investment (ROI) in the facility management category.

Ordinary furniture in a damp basement requires replacement every 1–2 years due to rotting and deformation. Our products are designed to last for decades thanks to corrosion protection. All metal elements undergo anti-corrosion treatment and are covered with polymer powder paint, which seals the metal.

A comparison is illustrative: a metal cabinet versus a chipboard analog. In the event of a pipe burst or a sharp increase in humidity, a chipboard cabinet will swell and become unusable. The metal cabinet will remain intact — it is enough to simply wipe it with a cloth. Furthermore, modularity is important: metal furniture is easy to disassemble. If you move to another office or redesign the shelter, you simply dismantle the shelving and benches and reassemble them in the new location. This is an asset that stays with you forever.

Hygiene and Fire Safety: Modern Requirements

Shelters are crowded places, so sanitary requirements here are elevated. Our products fully comply with hygiene and fire safety standards. Metal has no pores where dirt can get clogged, so surfaces can be washed with any disinfectants, including aggressive chlorine-containing solutions. This is critically important for preventing the spread of infections.

Also, metal does not absorb odors of dampness, food, or chemicals, unlike textiles or wood. But most importantly — fire resistance. Metal furniture does not burn, which significantly simplifies passing fire safety inspections and increases the overall safety level of the facility.

What Should Be in Every Shelter?

We have formed a list of items with which you can equip a safe space and which you can order on our website today.

Reliable Metal Cabinet

For storing water stocks, dry rations, tools, and personal protective equipment, a reliable metal cabinet is necessary. We offer models with reinforced shelves capable of withstanding the weight of water bottles, and locks.

Medical Supply: Wall-Mounted First Aid Kit

Regarding medical supplies, according to standards, drugs must be quickly accessible but protected. The best solution is a wall-mounted first aid kit. The advantages of our model are obvious: the metal body protects medicines from light and moisture, and wall mounting allows placing the kit at eye level in the entrance or duty zone without occupying useful table space. We offer all-metal options for enhanced protection.
