When it comes to preserving and presenting priceless artefacts, museum curators, exhibition designers, and art installers demand nothing less than perfection. Denny Plastics specialises in crafting flawless, museum-quality acrylic (Perspex) display cases. These showcases are not just functional; they are a testament to precision engineering and innovative design. Let’s take a closer look at how we craft these exceptional displays and why Perspex is the ultimate choice for museum-grade showcases.
Why Perspex is The Superior Choice for Museum Displays
Perspex, a high-quality acrylic, has become the material of choice for museum-grade showcases, and for good reason. Unlike glass, perspex offers unparalleled clarity, ensuring that artefacts are displayed without distortion. Its lightweight nature makes it easier to handle and install, particularly for large or intricate displays.
Durability is another standout feature. Perspex is up to 10 times more impact-resistant than glass, significantly reducing the risk of damage during transportation or installation. Additionally, it provides excellent UV resistance, protecting delicate artefacts from harmful light exposure. These qualities make Perspex an ideal material for preserving and showcasing valuable collections.
Overcoming Challenges in Creating Museum-Grade Showcases
Crafting a museum-quality display case is a complex process that requires meticulous attention to detail. One of the primary challenges is achieving flawless clarity. Even the slightest imperfection can detract from the viewer’s experience, so every step of the process must be executed with precision.
Another challenge is ensuring the structural integrity of the case. Museums’ showcases often need to support heavy artefacts or withstand frequent handling. This demands advanced engineering techniques and a deep understanding of material properties to create a seamless, robust structure.
The Secret to Perfection: Museum-Grade Bonding
At Denny Plastics, we use specialised techniques to overcome these challenges, with museum-grade bonding being one of the most critical. This process involves fusing Perspex sheets together using a solvent-based adhesive that creates an invisible joint. The outcome is a smooth, transparent bond that preserves the material’s optical clarity.
Museum-grade bonding requires exceptional skill and precision. Our team carefully aligns each piece of Perspex, ensuring perfect edges and corners. The adhesive is then applied with precision, creating a bond that is not only visually flawless but also incredibly strong. This technique is what sets our showcases apart, delivering unmatched quality and durability.
Custom Solutions for Every Exhibition
No two museums or exhibitions are the same, which is why we offer fully customised solutions. Whether you need a compact display case for a single artefact or a large, multi-panel showcase for an entire collection, we can tailor our designs to meet your specific requirements.
Our team collaborates closely with curators and designers to understand their needs, from dimensions and lighting to security features and accessibility. This collaborative approach ensures that every showcase we produce is perfectly suited to its intended purpose, improving the presentation and preservation of your artefacts.
Sustainability at the Heart of our Process
In addition to performance and aesthetics, we are committed to sustainability. Perspex is recyclable, and we strive to minimise waste throughout the manufacturing process. By choosing Perspex showcases, museums and galleries can reduce their environmental impact without compromising on quality.
