Most store windows are a focal point of attraction. Should you walk or drive by a street you will immediately notice the windows that stand out. One may look at a store window as a free form of advertising or promotion. Most stores located in newer buildings tend to have very large front glass windows in fact. Therefore a smart store owner
may take advantage of all this public exposure by installing some attractive and well lit window glass showcases within their store.
These showcases are generally made of tempered glass and store owners usually pick glass top pedestals for the purpose. Pedestals have the advantage to stand up high and usually the top glass area stands apart from the base cabinet or legs. Pedestals also can be made in different sizes and therefore look very attractive as window glass showcases. They can be easily illuminated with lighting from the top ceiling or by installing some lighting within the pedestals.
Another type of display fixture that can be used as a window showcase are wall display cases. Of course they should have a clear glass back so that the outside traffic on the street can see through and inside the store. These cases often have a wood top canopy where the lighting is located. The sliding or hinged doors are located on the side inside of the store for easier access. When building these window glass showcases the manufacturer will size the top glass area to fit the width and upper section of the window.
Many options are available through Tecno display when shopping for glass window showcases. From small opening to extra large windows they will build the fixture that shows well as a piece of furniture and also will display your items to their best.

Window Glass Showcases
Tuesday, June 18th, 2013Glass Cases
Friday, June 14th, 2013You can see glass cases in so many shapes and dimensions and in such a wide array of locations. Sometimes walking into a convenience store you will spot an all glass countertop display case and then walking through the hallways of an airport you will see some enormous eight feet tall all glass towers or wall showcases. No matter what their size or look display cases are there to protect a piece or a collection that is on exhibit. Most of them are made in tempered glass and the glass panels can either be joined using various thickness of aluminum framing or simply glued to each other. Aside from the glass cases used to display mannequins or large sculptures most others have fully adjustable shelves that allow you to display items of multiple sizes. On some larger cases optional 3/8” thick glass shelves can be installed. This can be extremely useful when dealing with very wide rectangular glass display showcases. This will greatly reduce the risks of glass bowing in the center of the glass shelves. Also having the visible edges of the shelves polished will be visually very appealing. It creates a nice effect. Most quality cases nowadays are made dust resistant. They are basically totally sealed. You can even ask your manufacturer to add a few fans within the glass showcase that will help with the circulation of the air. Small filters are usually included within these systems. The strength, quality and reliability of any locking system within a showcase is of prime importance. A good lock will help the contents to stay safe but will also allow you to open and close your showcase conveniently. Most glass free standing towers and wall glass cases have a top canopy where the lighting is installed. Most are equipped with fluorescent or halogen lighting and newer more expensive ones with LED lights. Additionally some optional side track lighting may be installed on the vertical corners of your case. This additional feature will help the light to go all the way through to the bottom of the showcase. In some cases this complementary lighting becomes absolutely necessary since large objects or figurines set up on the various shelves will block some of the light.
Tecno Display has designed and engineered many different types of glass cases over the years and they continue to do so with the same spirit of innovation and concern for quality and value. You can rely on them for the best the industry has to offer.

Custom Glass Showcases
Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013With the cost of retail space getting higher and higher and with the competition for traffic and customers becoming more and more competitive retailers have to make the best out of their selling spaces and showrooms. For most businesses it means coming up with a floor plan or showcase layout that is inviting, creates a efficient traffic flow and takes full advantage of the space available. By this we mean that no area should be wasted and also that the displays should be arranged so that the merchandise can be organized in well defined categories. This in turn will make your marketing efforts a lot more rewarding. While most display fixtures manufacturers offer a wide range of glass display showcases it is also true that many retail spaces have an awkward configuration, odd sizes or for example columns in the way. In order to satisfy these restrictions most store designers and architects will come up with some modified versions of a standard showcase or design a complete custom glass showcase. In many cases you can get away with changing only the width or depth of any given display. In others it is only a matter of creating and building some new or extra angles within the cabinetry. One can also choose to increase the overall size of the glass display area while minimizing the cabinet space. Different choices and options are available should you decide to build a custom counter jewelry case or a custom wall showcase. Tecno Display has a long track record in the manufacturing of quality and value priced custom display showcases. Their products cover many different categories of glass cases such as free standing towers, wall cases, counter high jewelry showcases as well as pedestals and wall hung shadow boxes.

Wood and Glass Displays
Sunday, May 19th, 2013The trend right now in the visual merchandising field is to use wood more and more in the manufacturing of cabinets and glass display showcases. Wood as a raw material seems to project a feeling of warmth and durability. Also cabinet makers are able to work on wood surfaces with more detail and give them all forms of enhancements such as moldings and carvings. Additionally the quality of the sanding and of the finishing work does allow for all kinds of nuances and shades during the wood staining process. This is particularly important since an experienced cabinet manufacturer should always make the best out of matching the wood grain direction and texture with the actual staining. From simple wood shelving to fully enclosed and tempered glass display cases, manufacturers are offering a large array of displays to choose from. More and more stores and corporate environments are opting for a combination of quality made cabinetry together with secure glass display area on top nowadays. This is especially true when visiting museums and jewelry stores. These two categories are probably the single largest users of wood display cases. Here the manufacturer must deal with two essential goals: provide a display that guarantees total safety and then develop a style that is unique and reflects the overall theme or image that the store or museum wants to project. Wood being a natural element or raw material will allow for more flexibility and variations in order to achieve these goals since the cabinet makers basically are starting from scratch. Within the scope of modern wood working machinery, craftsmanship and experience are still the predominant qualities and factors in order to supply quality made wood and glass displays.
Retail Showcases
Wednesday, May 15th, 2013More and more stores are trying to showcase a unique and well defined look. This is usually done with signage, graphics, colors as well as the materials used within the store.

With simple finished wood shelving, cash wraps, glass towers and glass counter cases and custom cabinets a store designer can create a décor that is unique and will create brand or location recognition immediately. Retail showcases should allow you to use your selling space as efficiently as possible and also create a free flowing environment where customers and prospects will feel free to browse and look at merchandise. They should also provide for your products to be clearly visible, distinct and organized by categories or price points. An efficient glass case should also be user friendly, well made and require low maintenance.
Tempered glass display cases equiped with good quality hardware and quality locking systems are the way to go. They will last a long time and be safe to use. Most stores nowadays are using a combination of standard and custom made retail cases. Since each retail space has its own configuration, angles and sizing going that way will bring about a better showcases layout at the end. Many choices are available as far as cabinetry is concerned. You could go for a wide choice of laminate, opt for solid wood veneers and stains or for a metal looking finish. The choice of the appropriate lighting should it be fluorescent, halogen or LED for example is important. It will make your store stand out from the others. Your retail showcases should also be in tune with the demographics of your area and the average income of your store’s visitors.
