Four Sided Wall Case
Our four sided wall cases have a reinforced bottom shelf built with welded aluminum framing to provide support for heavier objects. They can easily handle larger objects where the vitrine size adds more weight to the case frame. The inside back panel is removable to allow access for case installation, mounting artifacts, or adding silica gel tiles. Silica gel may also be accommodated in shallow desiccant chambers integrated into the lower frame with access through the bottom. Deck and back panels are both removable. Each case is provided with a custom wall cleat frame for installation.

Four Sided Wall Case Options
Ultraviolet (UV) Filtering
Ultraviolet light can be extremely detrimental to sensitive artifacts. Special ultraviolet filtering acrylic is available.
Decks
All decks are fabricated from a variety of non off-gassing materials. Conservation materials such as aluminum plate, acrylic, Dibond aluminum/polyethylene composite and Ethafoam are options. Acrylics and aluminum can be painted using zero VOC water based paints, laminated, or wrapped with fabric. Ethafoam, which is a high-density foam, can be bonded to an aluminum plate or Dibond sheet and fabric wrapped to provide flexibility in mounting artifacts. A variety of deck options are available including flat, raised, and sloped.
Back Panels
Back panels may be made from the same variety of materials as decks.
Risers
Risers give the curator or designer a way to highlight specific objects by elevating them above the deck. Risers may be constructed of a variety of archival materials to ensure they meet conservation requirements. They are available with a zero VOC paint finish or wrapped with museum grade linen fabric.
Shelving
Shelves, in a variety of materials, may be fixed or adjustable, depending on the type of case and your needs. Adjustable shelves may me supported by shelf brackets where the shelf standards are hidden in the back panel of the case providing a clean look. Floating (fixed) shelves are also available.
Climate Control
In situations requiring a stable internal environment to preserve sensitive items such as paper, cloth and many other materials accommodations may be made for a passive system using desiccant material. Our cases are tightly sealed with silicone gaskets to minimize air exchange with the external environment.
Lighting
We use LED lighting that is dimmable, emits no UV rays, generates minimal heat, is energy efficient and long lasting. Light tubes are typical, but we can also provide other light sources suited to your needs. All of our lighting comes with dimmers that allow for precise control. Timers, proximity sensors and power cutoffs are also available.
Security
Depending on the style of case and your requirements we offer a range of security systems from simple screws requiring a special driver to high security key locks or other types of systems. Sensors and alarms may be added to cases and can interface with building security systems.
Finishes
A wide variety of finishes may be applied to cases including paint, laminates or fine wood veneers. All of our paints are zero or low VOC and mixed to any custom color desired. High-pressure laminates are available from a number of different manufacturers. Cherry, oak, maple or other wood veneers add an elegant touch to a case.
