Smoking Shelters

 

Designated smoking areas help those who wish to take a cigarette break navigate exactly where they should head to.

Bin Storage

 

One aspect of maintaining the aesthetic of your retail centre is by ensuring that it is clean and tidy at all times. Litter can make a place look seriously unwelcoming and not maintained, and that is not the first impression that you want to give your shoppers. Here at MIKO, we can design and manufacture a range of different styles of Litter Bins perfect for dotting around your shopping mall to ensure that everyone respects your ‘keep it tidy, keep it clean’ message. 

 

Benches

 

Offering a place to sit and take five, whether that be planning your route or enjoying a coffee in the whirlwind of your shop, our Benches here at MIKO create the perfect welcoming, functional break. We can design both steel and wood based benches in a variety of styles, why not head over to our website to take a look and see which solution is best for you?!

 

Planters – 

 

Nothing boosts your business’ curb appeal quite like fresh planters. Granted, not everyone has the time or the resources to look after real planters, so there is always an option of displaying artificial plants and flowers in our beautiful planters. Whether they are placed in the entrance of your retail space, or dotted throughout the mall, they instantly brighten the place up by giving a spring of colour. Whether you have the space for Stacked Corten style planters, or you would prefer smaller corten planters – take a look through our range on our website for what we can offer you!
