Retail

Storefronts, display cases and brand environments, where the glazing is part of the merchandising rather than a boundary around it.

The store environment can make or break a sale

In competitive retail the environment does commercial work. Light quality decides how product looks, the frontage decides who comes in, and the same sun that makes the window attractive at ten in the morning is fading the stock behind it by August.

Glazing as a merchandising instrument

Our services offer a substantial enhancement to a retail space, whether the requirement is precise light control, security, or a dynamic atmosphere. Smart Window Film and Photochromic Film manage natural light. Fire Rated Glass and Smart Glass address security. Smart Glass gives the frontage a modern aesthetic and the ability to change state — a window that is a display during trading hours and an opaque surface outside them.

Benefits

  • Enhanced shopping experience

    Interactive glass displays and window systems that change with the campaign rather than being rebuilt for it.

  • Unrivalled security

    Fire-rated and safety glazing where the store's risk assessment calls for it, plus instant privacy for high-value display.

  • Aesthetic appeal

    A frontage that reads as designed rather than as a shopfront with film on it.

  • Sustainability matters

    Solar control that reduces the cooling load a fully glazed frontage generates.

Applications

  • Window displays that switch to a projection surface out of hours

  • High-value display cases with privacy on demand

  • Fitting rooms and consultation areas

  • Storefront glare and heat control on a west-facing mall elevation

  • Stock and merchandise protected from UV fading

  • Back-of-house and cash-handling privacy
