Owning a flower shop means constantly caring for blooms and freshly-cut arrangements. You want your business to be known for having vibrant, healthy flowers all year round. To do this, you must make sure that your space is properly equipped with the right safety measures. Here are 3 things you must have in your flower shop to keep your produce safe from accidents, the sun, and even human interaction.

Tinted windows

Your main windows should be tinted to prevent the sun from scorching freshly-cut blooms. Tinted windows also allow you to better control the temperature in your building to allow plants to thrive. You should have special lights that encourage plant growth within your business so you don't have to rely on the sun. Lightly tinted windows keep your business cool and safe for reliable plant protection while still allowing customers to see what you have inside your building as they pass by.

Fire alarm sprinkler system 

Fire and smoke damage can destroy a whole supply of flowers and cuts. Install a fire alarm system with sprinklers so even tiny flames get drenched with moisture quickly. Smoke damages plants by taking away their ability to 'breathe', and it leeches important nutrients from their root structure. Sprinklers attached to your fire alarm system can reduce smoke output in the event of a fire and quell flames quickly to best preserve your precious plant material.

Glass refrigerated cases

Customers will want to see all your produce up close, but you don't want them touching or accidentally harming your plants. Protect your flowers and allow clients to view the blooms they want by getting glass refrigerated cases installed in your store. You have seen cases like these before in restaurants to house desserts and other cool items, and these lighted displays work excellent for displaying your blooms and bouquets as well. Always have a fire alarm system with sprinklers installed above your glass cases to further protect your flowers.

Your flowers are extremely important to you, and you want to protect your blooms the best way you can. Tinted windows protect them from too much sun exposure while keeping your temperatures steady indoors, while a fire alarm system with sprinklers can give you peace of mind that fires will be put out quickly. Your blooms can also be protected while still being showcased for all your customers to see in pretty refrigerated glass displays. All these additions to your store can protect your flowers and boost your business.
