From external smoking & waiting shelters, to corral cycle compounds or multi-purpose canopies, the Glasdon selection of prefab shelters provides a solution for almost any application.

Aero™ Cycle Shelter Range

Aero Cycle Shelters provide a sheltered and contemporary storage space for bicycles and scooters, allowing cyclists to store their equipment in a safe, designated spot. Not only does this prevent damage to bicycles from bad weather, but it also boosts participation in active travel by offering purpose-built cycling infrastructure.

The shelter’s curved design means rain and snow slide off the roof easily, while its strong, corrosion-resistant aluminium roof skeleton makes it extremely durable, able to withstand harsh weather conditions. Toughened PETG glazing keeps bikes visible for security purposes and is strong enough to withstand bangs, knocks and significant abuse.

Available as either a standalone cycle shelter (with storage capacity for 10 bicycles) or a corral cycle compound (with storage capacity for 20 bicycles), Aero cycle shelters are well suited for schools, workplaces, public buildings, transport hubs, and apartment blocks.

Heritage & Carleton™ Shelters

Ideal for sheltered waiting areas such as bus stops and break areas, smoking/vaping shelters, or pay-and-display shelters, our range of all-weather shelters are low maintenance and aesthetically pleasing.

The Heritage shelter is specially designed to coordinate with traditional street furniture and blend in perfectly with townships, suburbs, and city streets. Manufactured from low maintenance materials and available in 7 standard layouts, Heritage provides a traditional appeal to suit any location.

The Carleton Shelter is ideal for urban centres, airports, and major transport hubs, with a modern, streamlined design for high-traffic environments. Its transparent wall panels can be specified in toughened glass, thermoplastic glazing, or blank GRP, allowing for a tailored approach to each site. With 9 standard layouts (up to 3 bays in length), and a flat roof for sites with restricted access, Carleton Shelters can be configured to fit a variety of spaces and applications.

Modus™ Shelter Range  

Modus Multi-Purpose Shelters offer a cost-effective shelter solution that is ideal for use as a small safety point or covering for personnel or equipment.

Available in two sizes (Modus 770 and Modus 1280 models), these shelters create a small, highly visible alcove that is suited for a variety of functions, such as creating a fire safety or first aid point, or placing a pay and display facility inside.

The double-skinned roof and environmentally friendly Ecoboard™ panels on three sides are produced using 100% recycled post-consumer waste (mixed plastics). The low-maintenance frame extrusion and spigot legs contain a mix of aluminium and steel.

Delivered fully assembled as standard, the Modus shelter offers an excellent solution for when cost and time are factors on site.

From serving the fastest zip line in the world and even featuring at several consecutive Olympic and Commonwealth games, the Glasdon Olympic™ Modular Building System is globally renowned for its durability, reliability and superior design.

Versatile, Reliable and Durable

Available in a large range of colours, the Glasdon Olympic is ideal for permanent and/or ticket kiosks, security posts, car park kiosks, check-in booths, sentry posts, personnel shelters, control booths, security cabins, equipment storage and modular toll booths.

Constructed from low-maintenance Glassfibre Reinforced Polyester (GRP), the high-quality material provides the building with a smooth, semi-gloss external surface and a smart appearance for many years. Ideal for the harshest of environments.

The system’s colour options further add to its versatility. While the standard external finish is Beige, the external walls and roof can be supplied in close to any BS colour. This allows for seamless harmonisation with surrounding architecture and a precise match to corporate identities, ensuring a truly bespoke feel.

Simple Installation and Long-Term Flexibility

 Projects often require quick and hassle-free deployment. The Glasdon Olympic is designed to be convenient and delivered/offloaded in fully assembled form, reducing on-site disruption and ease of installation. Its robust construction allows the building to be easily relocated in the future, adding to long-term flexibility.

The Glasdon Olympic accommodates a wide range of optional features for internal comfort and function, including lighting, heating, glazing, and ventilation, allowing customers to tailor the building precisely to their specific operational needs.

Where required, the modular design also allows for on-site assembly, further adding to the flexibility of the system for more remote and restricted access sites.

Available Sizes: 1200 x 1500mm and/or 2200mm x 1500mm (external dimensions) floor plan, with a consistent height of 2415mm and weighing either 215kg (1200 x 1500mm) or 450kg (2200mm x 1500mm).

With a proven track record, easy deployment, customisable colours, and long-lasting construction, the Glasdon Olympic is a symbol of Glasdon’s commitment to providing sustainable, high-quality and long-term building solutions.
