Glass Vitrine Refurbishment and Panel Replacement Quote

When a Display Cabinet Needs Refurbishment

Most shop owners notice the signs gradually: scratched or clouded glass, sagging doors, loose hinges, or a frame that has lost its original finish. Sometimes only one panel is damaged, and sometimes the whole cabinet feels tired even though the structure is sound.

Refurbishment makes sense when the body of the vitrine is still solid but its surfaces and moving parts no longer present your products well. Replacing the entire unit is often unnecessary.

What Panel Replacement Involves

Panel replacement means removing a damaged glass sheet and fitting a new one cut to the exact dimensions of the opening. The glass edges, sealing strips and fixing points are checked so the new panel sits square and safe.

• Measurement of each opening, taken on site
• Choice of glass type and thickness suited to the cabinet
• Inspection of frame and hinges before fitting
• Adjustment so doors close smoothly after the change

What Affects the Quote

Several factors shape the scope of work. The number of panels to replace, the frame material, the condition of the hinges and locks, and whether the cabinet needs a new finish all influence the specification. Access to the shop and the need to work outside opening hours can also matter.

Providing photos of the cabinet and noting which parts bother you most helps us understand the job before the visit.

How Our Quote Process Works

Your request starts with photos and a short description. We then visit the shop to measure and examine the vitrine in person. After that, we prepare a drawing and a written specification describing the work, the materials and the finishing.

You review and approve the specification. Only then do we move to production in our factory at 37 Rival Street, Tel Aviv, followed by finishing and installation at your shop.

Materials and Finishing Options

Glass choices depend on how the cabinet is used, including clarity, safety requirements and how the display is lit. Frames can be refinished in metal finishes that suit your shop's look, and we can discuss the options that best match your budget and style.

Finishing is carried out in our workshop, so the result is consistent and ready to install.

Planning the Installation With Minimal Disruption

A well-planned installation keeps your shop trading. We agree on timing in advance, protect nearby displays and floors, and clear the work area before leaving. Where possible, we replace panels one cabinet at a time so you always have usable display space.

Exact timings are confirmed in the written specification once the scope is approved.

Frequently asked questions

Can you replace just one glass panel in a vitrine?

Yes. If the rest of the cabinet is in good condition, we can replace only the damaged panel after measuring the opening precisely.

Do you measure on site before giving a quote?

Yes. We visit the shop to measure and inspect the cabinet, then provide a drawing and written specification for your approval.

Can the frame be refinished along with the glass?

In many cases, yes. Frame refinishing is done in our workshop and can be included in the same quote as the panel work.

Will the cabinet door still close properly after the work?

We check and adjust hinges and locks during installation so the doors align and close smoothly with the new glass in place.

Common mistakes to avoid

Waiting until a panel cracks before acting can damage the frame and create a safety risk. Sending a quote request without photos or measurements often leads to a less accurate specification.

Our recommendation

Photograph each cabinet from the front and side, note which panels and hinges need attention, and request the quote for all cabinets at once to plan the work efficiently.

Summary

A clear, measured specification lets you refresh worn display cabinets confidently, with panel replacement and finishing handled in one organised project.
