ShowcaseSource.com specializes, as our name suggests, in showcases, also called glass displays, and display cabinets. Our products are a sure fit for all types of stores, from department stores, to optical outlets, gift shops, airport stores, mall kiosks, specialty stores, boutiques, computer and electronic stores, auto and bike parts stores, cell phone stores, even museum shops. We provide personal, reliable and timely service as well as quality products. Our displays are structured on glass, aluminum and MDF. Glass is a durable, easy cleaning, and high end material. All the large panels of glass on our Vision line of Showcases are tempered. The large glass panels on our CB line Wall, Tower, and Trophy showcases are also tempered glass. Tempered glass is also known as toughened, or safety glass. This glass is produced with controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempering creates balanced internal stresses which cause the glass, when broken, to crumble into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards. The granular chunks are less likely to cause injury. Toughened glass is also physically and thermally stronger than regular glass. Basically, tempered glass is less likely to break than regular glass, and when it does break, the pieces are small and harmless. The wood in our cabinets is all MDF board. M.D.F. stands for Medium-density fibreboard, this is an engineered wood product created by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming panels by applying high temperature and pressure. M.D.F. is stronger and denser than normal particle board which is commonly used by other manufacturers and vendors. Many of our showcases, particularly the CB line feature a curved aluminum profile. The profile has been anodized and polished for a stylish and modern finish. The aluminum profile is extremely durable and sturdy to give you many years of product use. It is also resistant to corrosion and water damage. LED lighting is offered as an alternative to fluorescent lighting in some of our display cases. LED lighting technology utilizes light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as the source of light. Since the light output of individual light-emitting diodes is small compared to incandescent and compact fluorescent lamps, multiple diodes are often used together. In recent years, as diode technology has improved, high power light-emitting diodes with higher lumen output are making it possible to replace other forms of lighting. The LED lighting offers a long service life and high energy efficiency. Unlike compact fluorescent LED contains no toxic mercury and turns on instantly. The lifetime of LED is unaffected by cycling on and off and more difficult to break than fluorescent tubes. The LED lighting option is very compact and concealed with a slim lined reflector. It’s multiple point light source produces sparkle which is especially suitable to gift items and jewellery. All our closed showcases and cabinets include lock and keys, so you don’t have to worry about the security of the products you are displaying or storing in them. Our showcases come in different colors and lengths. They come with levelers or casters, depending on the item which help you move and stabilize the showcase on different types of floors.
