It comes apart into a flight crate without tools and goes back together in about twenty minutes by two people who have never seen it before, which is the actual specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA vitrine is a box that has to disappear. 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: 800mm wide by 500mm deep by 1600mm high assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay surface: internal display area 770mm by 470mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: aluminium framed carcass with replaceable panels, and a foam lined birch ply flight crate\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: 140kg on the deck\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: museum lock, plus tamper evident seals for the road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivery: in its own flight crate, on a pallet, kerbside or to the loading bay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 118.0 kilograms including the crate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild time: about 20 minutes for two people, tool free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrate: birch ply with foam cradles cut to the glass, castors fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePanels: replaceable and repaintable on the road, and two spares are supplied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlass: laminated as standard, because toughened glass that breaks on tour ends the tour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstructions: a laminated build sheet lives inside the crate lid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrate external size: 1000mm by 750mm by 1100mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe case, knocked down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA foam lined birch ply flight crate with castors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaminated glass in a fitted cradle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo spare face panels and a touch up kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA museum lock, two keys and a pack of tamper evident seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA laminated build sheet fixed inside the crate lid\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":58785465827660,"sku":"PLS-TUR-004-TG","price":2299.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Low iron glass, no green edge","offer_id":58785465860428,"sku":"PLS-TUR-004-LI","price":2699.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1091\/8300\/9100\/files\/Touring_Exhibition_Case_800mm_by_500mm_by_1600mm_High_with_a_Flight_Crate_in_Matt_Black_Lacquer.jpg?v=1789126161","url":"https:\/\/plinthstudiostore.com\/products\/touring-exhibition-case-800mm-by-500mm-by-1600mm-high-with-a-flight-crate-in-matt-black-lacquer","provider":"Plinth Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
