Tempered glass (otherwise called toughened glass) is one type of safety glass used for different applications, especially in cases when standard, untreated glass can pose potential danger to users. It is commonly used in automobiles, coffee maker carafes, oven windows, and many other applications, including skylights, computer screens, tub enclosures, door windows, and especially in display and showcases. Tempered glass showcases are ideal for retail settings, because of its impact resistance. Tecno Display produces quality display cases using different kinds of materials, including tempered glass. All of our designs go through careful planning and are manufactured with top notch craftsmanship. Clients have a wide range of product lines to choose from, ranging from tower cases to wall cases, countertop, and museum displays, jewelry cases, cash wraps, and many more.
Tempered glass is subjected to a chemical or controlled thermal treatment to increase the strength several times than normal glass. The tempering process balances out the internal stress of the glass, which causes it to break, in fact crumble into granular chunks, instead of jagged shards. Crumbled granular chunks cause fewer injuries than sharp shards. This type of glass is more stress and impact resistant, and can handle heat better, which is why it is often found in cook ware and display units in restaurants, bakeries, and eateries.
One disadvantage of tempered glass is that it must be cut to size and shaped prior to toughening and is impossible to rework once tempered. Drilling holes and polishing the edges should be done before the glass is processed. This makes it hard to make adjustments, should the glass not meet the desired or required shape and size. The concentrated impact of drilling holes into the already tempered glass may cause it to shatter.
You’ll find a wide array of tempered glass showcases in the market because of their resistance to stress and breakage as well as their safety features. If you want to buy a showcase made using tempered glass, turn to Tecno Display. We offer the best materials, excellent craftsmanship, and even customization choices. Choose from our existing designs or collaborate with our skilled team for a tailor made unit.

Nothing beats a custom made display — something that best fits your space, has all the features you want, and best of all, can accommodate all that you need to showcase. The best thing about custom displays is that you can choose the kinds of materials to use, especially if the items you need to display are sensitive, like antique artifacts. Turn to Tecno Display for your custom needs. Our manufacturing facility is run by the most skillful hands and creative minds in the industry. We ensure top quality fixtures that stay true to your specifications. We also have ready made showcases, cash wraps, desks, and can make tables and pedestals and all kinds of displays based on your requirements.
When customizing a display case for any kind of space, retail, museum, school, office or your own home, keep in mind the following criteria:
1.   Practicality. More than the practicality of your design (feasibility, time frame), you should also consider the cost and availability of the materials to be used. Sure, hardwood can be a good choice for its durability and overall look, but some types are hard to find and can be very costly. Inquire about availability first before you decide. Ask the manufacturer about alternatives should your choice of hardwood be unavailable. If time is an issue, go for readily available materials like metal or glass, but only if they go well with the design you have in mind. After all, that’s the whole point of customizing.
2.   Budget. Be realistic when it comes to budget if you want custom displays. These projects often cost more than ready made showcases. Ask for a direct quote from your manufacturer, and seek alternatives so that you can achieve your vision cost effectively.
3.   Functionality. Sometimes, with the customer’s desire to be unique, some parts of the design are rendered useless. Make sure all the components have their practical use, without compromising your artistic vision. Continuity (with the interior design of your space) is also important, unless you want the display case to be a focal point.
At Tecno Display, customization goes far beyond just the physical aspects of your design. You can specify the kind of finish or laminates you want, or other enhancements like he lighting and other specialty hardware.

Wood is one of the most versatile materials to use for different kinds of fixtures, including display cabinets. When used in a retail setting, wood display showcases can make interiors look instantly more elegant. As a material, wood is generally more durable and gets better with time, unlike glass or metal, which are prone to damage and often need a lot of maintenance. Wood is also lighter, making transport and set up easier. Tecno Display specializes in different kinds of display fixtures, including all-wood cases. Superior quality is guaranteed, as units are made from only the best materials and by experienced hands.
Some of the more popular woods used for different kinds of display fixtures include aspen, oak, maple, rosewood, mahogany, and pine. Cherry wood is also a good option, as well as walnut. Go for well defined grain patterns if you want that natural look. You may also choose reddish brown tints as well as reddish black hues, and even spotted textures for character.
The versatile nature of this material means it can be fashioned into different kinds of showcases, including basket racks, crates, wine racks, cabinets, tub displays, and space saving slat walls, to name a few. A wood display case can go a long way in terms of saving space, making your products pop out, and creating a great theme for your store. If you choose this material for your store, be sure to know the difference between soft and hard wood. The main distinction is the weight; soft woods tend to be light, and hard woods, heavier. Soft woods are also easier to shape, but hardwoods are the better option if you want a sturdier, longer lasting display case. Experts at Tecno Display can help you make the right choice when it comes to the kind of wood to use for your project. Whether you choose to customize your own design or buy from our readymade options, you will sure find the best fixtures for your need. We will ship them in one piece right to your doorstep.

If you think display showcases are just for show, then you might not be getting the most out of what you paid for. These fixtures provide are more than just a place to flaunt your collectibles or present your products or exhibit items. Well designed and versatile showcases can often be used for a wide variety of other functions:
- Storage. Notice how many retail stores (especially jewelry stores) have display fixtures with extra large bases? They are actually concealed storage spaces for items in stock, as well as other essential materials used in running day to day operations. They are often shelved cabinets or drawers that provide easy access to these items, so that the sales clerk doesn’t have to run back and forth to the storage room or warehouse. That means more ‘sales-talk time’ with customers.
- If you are interested in making your retail display case a more versatile tool for your business, consider custom designing one with the help of the experts in Tecno Display. We can transform those platforms and bases into extra storage space. We can customize multifunctional units for different requirements.

Many retail store owners have taken advantage of this concept, lining their check out areas with display cases and even constructing a cash wrap with built in displays. More impulse buys mean more return on investment for your business.
- Small kiosk. Thirdly, display cabinets can be arranged to form small kiosks. Set properly, good old display cabinets plus one or two tower cases can instantly be transformed into a workable kiosk. This set up perfect for business people with no permanent retail spaces as well as for spacious retail shops in need of a focal point.
Display cabinets are very versatile components of any retail setting. Even when used at home, they can save a great deal of space, providing extra storage space and a place to organize display-worthy items. At Tecno Display, you can choose from a wide variety of showcases that are multifunctional and can be customized to suit your specific needs.

Our display fixtures are versatile, allowing you to use them in many different occasions.

Showcases used for archival materials should provide a chemically as well as physically secure environment. Frames or cases used to store and display these types of items should have safe compositions and provide a pollutant-free environment so as to protect the quality and preserve the value of the artifacts they contain. The materials used for the construction of exhibit display cases must be taken into account and chosen very carefully as many types of component materials may contain substances that can easily be significant sources of harmful fumes and other pollutants that harm the displayed objects. Such materials can be destructive and cause evident deterioration like discoloration and even corrosion.
When custom making or buying display cases for exhibits off the rack, you should take note certain things to make sure that their components cannot cause serious damage to your exhibit items. Ask the manufacture about contact-transfer potential, especially when harmful substances are involved, dry texture of paints, dry-transfer of dyes, water solubility, abrasiveness, and pH content. At Tecno Display, you can be sure that the materials used for display cases will cause no harm to your artifacts. We have supplied showcases to a good number of museums and galleries, taking pride in using only high quality materials, combined with expertise and love for our craft.
Whenever possible, you should only buy newer and more recently made exhibit display cases as they already use safer materials like plexiglass, metal, and sometimes, sealed woods. These types of materials are less prone to contaminants and other harmful particles that may cause irreversible damage to your exhibit items. Layering surfaces with a barrier film that is impermeable to separate materials from one display to another also helps protect the items from damage. Any decorative fabrics and the adhesive materials to be used should likewise be tested so as not to risk damage. For added protection, exhibitors can also use different pollutant absorbers and internal buffers like activated carbon, silica gel, and zeolite, which are very effective in controlling pollutants and RH levels. These buffers can be placed in a concealed area like behid the backboard or in the base of the case, so as not to interfere with the aesthetic value of your display. Should you need a painted case, avoid oil paints and use latex or acrylic instead. You can ask the experts at Tecno Display for advice regarding which type of display case are the best to use for your specific needs.

Your association sure has something to show off, whether it be a prestigious award, a rare collection, or even a montage of things that define your cause. Display cases, just like the ones used in museums, curio shops, offices, retail stores, or even in home settings will also look great in your office. Display cases for associations can be used to show your clients or visitors what your group is really made of. When choosing the right showcase for your space, there are certain things that you should keep in mind in order to get the most out of your investment.
The first is the material for the display unit. Whether you want a custom built case or an off the rack model, you need to be sure about the best kind of material for your needs. Classic displays often have wooden bases or frames, and installed with glass or acrylic walls or body. They are often seen in home spaces and traditional shops. Most retail stores and offices nowadays, along with contemporary homes, go for more modern metal or steel-framed ones to achieve that current look.
The second thing to consider is the shape or form. Display cabinets can be as simple as a rectangular unit to more complex designs like hexagonal or curved front models. The shape of your display case will greatly be influenced by the kinds of items you want to showcase, as well as the position of the case in relation to the whole room. The width can also be an issue, especially when dealing with a smaller floor space. However, there are wall mounted varieties to choose from, if you want to save your space for other fixtures.
Choosing display cases for associations is no different than finding one for your own home. You just have to keep in mind basic things like the types of items to be displayed, the amount of space your room allows, and of course, your budget.

Nothing beats wood cabinets when it comes to quality and aesthetics. They are some of the best investments you can make in upgrading the value of your home. Among the most popular types of wood used to make home furniture include cherry, oak, hickory, maple, mahogany, and birch. These materials are among the most readily available and most manageable when it comes to wood crafting.
Cherry wood is a staple in fine furniture making. It is a favorite among hardwoods because of its color variety, which becomes darker with time. It also has characteristic pin holes and mineral streaks that add to the beauty of the grain. Maple, on the other hand, is popular for its strength, durability, and shock resistance, which makes it the suitable choice for bowling alleys and hardwood floors. Its color also ranges from light red brown to white. Oak is one of the strongest and heaviest, and is among the most widely used when it comes to cabinetry. Its color variety ranges from salmon pink to dirty white. Hickory is also a good choice, and like cherry, has attractive mineral streaks and pecks. Birch is commonly found in kitchen cabinets, because of its abrasion-resistant property. It has a fine grain and is creamy white (almost yellowish) in color. The smooth surface makes it ideal for painting, staining, and polishing, and even adding texture. Birch is also one of the cheaper options if and is easier to work than other wood varieties. Wood cabinets are excellent additions to a home, or any kind of space. They add elegance and functionality to bare areas, and are easy to maintain. Well made ones get even better with age.

Whether they are made from scratch or altered in some way to fit the needs of a client, custom made showcases are often better than their mass manufactured counterparts, especially when requirements are unique. Oddly shaped collectibles or art installations, for example, may require specialized display cases for storage or for show, since it can be impossible to find a factory manufactured unit to fit these kinds of objects. In some cases, the color of the furniture or the material used may not match those of your existing units. These situations call for customization, which is why manufacturers like Tecno Display provide services to meet the exacting requests and standards of its clients.
Customizing units on request has been a trend in many manufacturing firms for years. The pieces may not actually be made from scratch – sometimes, existing models are modified or altered as the client had directed. They are often resized, repainted, or re-shelved, or upgraded with additions like lighting, doors, and other embellishments. There are occasions when a display case needs to be made from scratch. These custom made showcases are often material-, size-, and design –specific, and are naturally more expensive than factory manufactured or altered units. Some clients prefer customized pieces because they are one of a kind, and are very specific to their needs. Many collectors of things that are of value see to it that their display cases can protect their prized collection the best way possible, which is why custom showcases are also popular with them. Customization allows them to specify exactly where the light should hit, how the shelves should be configured, and other very specific features.

We offer display units crafted by some of the most skilled hands in the industry.
