Request a Quote for Bespoke Museum-Grade Glass Display Cases

t428-5

A museum-grade glass display case is a custom vitrine built to hold and show objects securely, with glass, frame and locking details chosen for the collection's needs. To get an accurate quote, send your object list, room photos and any drawings, and our team will arrange an on-site measurement and a written specification for your approval.

What Makes a Display Case Museum-Grade

A museum-grade case is more than a glass box. It is designed around the objects inside, the room they sit in and the level of security the institution requires. Key choices include the glass type and thickness, the frame profile, the sealing system and the locking mechanism. Each of these affects how well the case protects the collection and how easily staff can access it.

At our Tel Aviv workshop, we fabricate iron, aluminum and stainless steel frames alongside glass vitrines, so the structure and the display can be designed together from the start.

Information to Prepare Before You Request a Quote

The more we know at the start, the more accurate the proposal will be. Gathering a few details in advance saves time for both sides.

A list of the objects to be displayed, with approximate sizes and weights
Photos of the room and the intended position of each case
Any architectural drawings or floor plans
Notes on lighting, climate and visitor traffic
The security level and access requirements set by the institution

How Our Quote Process Works

Once we receive your inquiry and photos, we review the requirements and schedule an on-site measurement. Measuring the actual space matters, because walls, floors and doorways are rarely perfectly straight or level.

Based on the measurement, we prepare a drawing and a written specification covering dimensions, glass, frame, finish and locking details. You review and approve the specification before production begins. Cases are built in our factory and finished with hot-dip galvanizing or powder coating where the frame material calls for it, then installed on site.

Glass, Frames and Security Details

Choosing the right glass and frame is central to a secure, long-lasting case. The glass specification depends on the objects, the viewing distance and the expected handling. Frame design determines rigidity, how the case is sealed and how it is opened for maintenance.

Points to discuss with us

Laminated or toughened glass options for the display area
Frame profiles that balance strength with a slim visual line
Lock types and who holds access keys
Integration with existing lighting or cabling

Exact structural and safety values are confirmed together with your engineer during the specification stage.

Working With Curators, Architects and Designers

Cultural projects usually involve several parties: curators who define how objects are shown, architects who shape the space, and contractors who coordinate installation. We are used to working within this structure and can share drawings and specifications with each party as needed.

Clear written approvals at each stage help avoid changes late in the project, when they are most costly. Please tell us early who the decision makers are and how they prefer to review proposals.

Next Steps After You Send Your Inquiry

After your inquiry arrives, our team will confirm receipt and let you know what additional information is useful. We can then arrange a site visit at a time that suits your installation schedule.

Once the specification is approved, production starts in our factory, which has been operating since 1945 and is run today by the third generation of the family. We will keep you informed through each stage until installation is complete.

Frequently asked questions

What information do I need to send for a custom display case quote?

Send a list of the objects, photos of the intended location and any drawings you have. If you know the security and access requirements, include those too.

Do you measure on site before preparing the specification?

Yes. We measure the actual space because walls and floors are rarely perfectly straight, and an on-site measurement helps ensure the case fits correctly.

Can the case be designed to work with our lighting and climate needs?

Yes, these requirements are discussed during the specification stage. We can plan for lighting integration and the environment in which the case will sit.

Will I approve the details before production starts?

Yes. You receive a drawing and written specification, and production begins only after you approve them.

Common mistakes to avoid

Many institutions request a quote before confirming the object list and room dimensions, which leads to revisions later. Waiting to define lock access and glass requirements until after installation is also a common and costly error.

Our recommendation

Gather your object list and room photos first, and involve the curator and architect in the same early discussion. Approve the written specification in full before production so that changes are made on paper rather than in the finished case.

Summary

Send your object list, room photos and drawings, and we will arrange a site measurement and a written specification for approval before any production begins.
