The Challenge
"Our product range had significantly grown year on year, and the space we previously had was divided by a scaffold based shelving system with solid wood shelving. We knew that we needed to remove that structure to allow for more merchandise to be on display – whilst also ensuring that the lighting for the unit meant replacement shelving wasn’t casting shadows on the colourful products."
Improve visibility
Replace existing solid shelving, with an option that didn't cast shadows on colourful products.
Illuminate products
Enhance light and brightness of displays.
Drive engagement
Create a display that returning customers will notice and comment on.
Finish to schedule
Complete the renovation within a two week period.
The Solution
Solid shelves were swapped out for glass shelves, to improve light and decrease shadows.
Our range of shelf and bracket sizes meant they could easily determine their requirements, giving them confidence in choosing the final products.
"We settled on a standard sized glass shelf to ensure that future shop movement was easy, and didn’t require measuring every time.
The glass shelves let the light through to the product underneath but the chrome brackets also bounce light back upwards to help light the product above.
...[Shopfitting Warehouse] provided us with the dedicated customer service focus and support with sourcing the shelving in time."
Products Selected
Glass Shelves
To brighten and lighten, glass shelves were chosen for their slatwall display. Paired with Chrome Brackets, the new shelves helped to highlight their product range
The Results
Uniform shelves that can be adapted easily
A standard sized glass shelf ensures that future shop movement is easy, and doesn’t require measuring every time.
Enhanced light and visibility
Glass shelves lets light through and the chrome brackets also bounce light back upwards, accentuating products.
Improved ability to remerchandise

Completed under project time
