The Benefits of Using Glass Display Cases
In this blog post, we will discuss the advantages of glass display cases for your museum. The next time you visit a museum or exhibition, take a look at the museum display cabinets. They should display high-quality museum displays that are safe, well-lit and easy to access.
1. Security
Glass display cabinets often provide a home for valuable, rare or valuable items of cultural importance. Security is a key feature to consider when choosing a display case. They must be tamper-proof and resistant to potential thieves. High quality glass showcases also minimise the risk of accidental glass damage, resulting in superior durability; allowing your displays to look both stylish and attractive for years to come.
2. Conservation
Not only do our cases look attractive, but they are an important tool for protecting artefacts from damage. Over time, many types of artefacts are prone to damage or deterioration. We educate every member of our team on the importance of conservation and the impact that different variables may have on each exhibit. This ensures that everyone from the designer to our installation team maintains the UK's leading standards for bespoke glass display cases. For example
Constant Humidity Showcase
Lighting
Lighting your glass display case well and meeting conservation guidelines is an important part of audience engagement and overall display quality.
Sunlight and fluorescent lighting (e.g. light bulbs) can cause light damage. When artefacts are exposed to the ultraviolet radiation of light, they can fade or discolour, reducing their value or relevance; unfortunately, minor damage is irreversible. Take Van Gogh's Sunflowers, for example. He famously used chrome yellow to depict the vibrant yellow petals; however, years of exposure to fluorescent light significantly darkened the yellow tones, leading conservationists to test paint protection methods to this day.
At CNRO, we offer bespoke LED lighting solutions for your glass showcase to ensure maximum appeal to your audience and protection of light-sensitive objects. Depending on your unique requirements, the lighting can be installed on the exterior or interior of the glass showcase.
Low-oxygen(Constant Humidity) And Clean Showcase
Air exchange
Humidity, temperature and contaminants can all contribute to the deterioration of artefacts, especially those made from organic materials. Even large glass showcases can be kept perfectly sealed or maintain the air exchange rate you have chosen for your sensitive artefacts.
3. Glass display cabinets can be customised
Whether you are looking for small or large glass display cabinets, you can find a reputable company who will invest time in designing them to suit your needs. There are already a variety of glass display cases for sale, such as freestanding tabletop refurbished display cases. However, sometimes your exhibition or space needs something a little more bespoke.
At CNRO, we combine cutting-edge technology with expertise and skill to produce beautiful glass display cases that are both design and practical. We know that each display and surrounding space is unique. You won't find the right size for all glass showcases for sale on our website; please contact us to ensure we meet your exact requirements.
4. Engagement
A great museum display attracts the attention of visitors. An engaging display is a gateway to learning and inspiration. A museum display that is well lit and does not detract from the condition of the artefacts is a great way to capture the attention of visitors and to create a stylish, professional environment to showcase the full potential of each object.
