Everything we do to one is aimed at that: low iron glass because ordinary float glass has a green cast that shows on every edge, mitred and polished glass corners rather than an aluminium post, and a base sized so the glass sits proud of it rather than inside a visible rebate. The unglamorous half is the part that keeps the object safe. Dust gets in through the base, not the top, so every case here has a gasketed base and a felt sealed door, which is the single biggest thing you can do for anything that has to stay clean for ten years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 600mm wide by 600mm deep by 1600mm high overall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay surface: internal display area 580mm by 580mm by 760mm high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: welded steel armature inside a matt black lacquer base, glass mitred and polished at every vertical corner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: 18mm MDF sprayed in a two pack polyurethane to RAL 9005 in a dead matt, which swallows reflections and is why photographers ask for it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad rating: 155kg on the deck, 15kg per glass shelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLevelling: four M10 levelling feet with 20mm of travel, recessed so nothing shows and nothing catches a toe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecurity: hinged door with a concealed lock, keyed alike across an order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivery: crated, kerbside on a pallet unless you book the two person service, which we recommend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 78.0 kilograms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlass: 6mm, mitred and polished, choose the specification at order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDust: gasketed base and a felt sealed door, which is what keeps it clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoor: hinged on the long side, opening 100 degrees, needs 700mm of swing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShelves: one glass deck included, extra shelves available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable entry: a grommet in the base for a lighting or humidity lead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase height: 800mm, which is the standard for a case of this size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe base, flat packed, with a welded steel armature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe glass case, assembled in its own crate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne glass deck shelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA concealed lock with two keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLevelling feet, gaskets and a cable grommet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA hex key, a spanner and printed instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSetting it up\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base arrives flat packed and the glass arrives assembled in its own crate. Build and level the base first, then two people lift the glass on. Do not lift a glass case by the top rail. The gasket seats itself under the weight of the glass, so leave it for an hour before you load the case and check the door line again after a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifying it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSize the case to the object plus the space around it rather than to the object. A rule that works well is a clear 100mm at the sides and 150mm above for anything under half a metre, and more for anything a visitor will walk around. Think about the door before you buy: a hinged door needs swing space and a lift off top needs two people and somewhere to put a large piece of glass. If the case will hold anything light sensitive, take the UV filtering glass, and keep the light level at 50 lux for works on paper and textiles and 150 lux for oil, wood and most other things.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plinth Studio","offers":[{"title":"Toughened float glass","offer_id":58785448493388,"sku":"PLS-VIT-007-TG","price":1424.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Low iron glass, no green edge","offer_id":58785448526156,"sku":"PLS-VIT-007-LI","price":1674.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Laminated UV filtering glass","offer_id":58785448558924,"sku":"PLS-VIT-007-UV","price":1899.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1091\/8300\/9100\/files\/Freestanding_Vitrine_600mm_by_600mm_by_1600mm_High_with_a_Matt_Black_Lacquer_Base.jpg?v=1789126060","url":"https:\/\/plinthstudiostore.com\/products\/freestanding-vitrine-600mm-by-600mm-by-1600mm-high-with-a-matt-black-lacquer-base","provider":"Plinth Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
