Freestanding Cases

This design is typically suited to larger cases with requirements for overhead lighting and large access doors. It’s sleek design and minimal painted bands top and bottom conceal all the mechanics allowing the focus to remain on the artifacts. It’s modern look and quality of manufacture will compliment any gallery and do justice to the collection.

Glass on 1,2,3 or 4 sides
Sometimes this style of case has been built into large wall recesses with only a glass front. Other times, it has glass halfway down the sides, or glass all round if a centre piece. Any combination is standard.

Can be built to any length, width or shape
This style of case can be built as a single case with one door or around the whole perimeter of a room with any combination of doors. It could also be done as a centre piece as a T shaped or faceted construction. It’s really flexible and can be made to fit the designer’s concept.

Hinged or pull and slide access
With its overhead ceiling canopy and discreet painted band, heavy duty hinges are concealed. This means we can hang much larger and heavier doors than on our other designs. This can be hinged or pull and slide depending on the access limitations of the room.

Shelving
The ceiling extrusion contains a channel for hanging rods allowing suspended shelves. We can also supply adjustable shelving fixed to the rear panel or built bespoke plinths to suit.

Lighting
As standard, these cases have led or fibre optic lighting spotlights set discreetly into the ceiling structure. In addition to this we can light from the bottom or fit lighting posts. We can incorporate lighting into plinths such as backlit acrylic panels.

Silica gel
Silica gel is typically placed under the case, however, it can be fitted above if the case is to be used without a plinth or kicker.

Security
Abloy locks are used top and bottom and can be suited to any combination, giving the museum sole authorisation to buy additional keys in the future. Various thicknesses of glass can be used depending on the requirements, but standard glass is 11.5mm anti-bandit laminated with an Optiwhite finish.
