The Displaysense 1000mm black glass display cabinet is built to eliminate the compromises common at this price point. 360-degree 4mm toughened glass on every side, back and door. Four 5mm fire-rated tempered glass shelves on an infinite-position rod track. 10 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights. Independently fire tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12. Lockable hinged double doors. 75kg of stable, commercial-grade black aluminium frame. Displaysense has designed and manufactured this range in the UK since 1978.
360-degree glass means all four sides are glazed: both side panels, the full rear and both front doors are 4mm toughened glass. There is no opaque back wall, no solid side blocking the sightline from an angle. A customer approaching from the side sees your display with the same clarity as someone standing directly in front. For jewellery, collectables and high-value merchandise, that visibility is the point.
The four shelves travel a continuous rod track the full interior height. Set any shelf to any position, lock without tools, reconfigure in seconds. Remove all four to use the full 1800mm interior unobstructed. The hinged double doors open fully for clear loading access and lock with a single key. Two keys supplied. Ten LED spotlights are built into the frame and illuminate every shelf level evenly from above and the sides.
We are not resellers. We design and manufacture our own cabinets and have done since 1978.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Design & Origin | UK-designed and manufactured by Displaysense since 1978 | We are not resellers. Every specification (glass thickness, rod system, frame gauge, LED positioning) has been chosen by our in-house team based on decades of commercial display experience. |
| Height | 1800mm (approx. 5ft 11in) | Commands a room. Maximises vertical display capacity without wall mounting. |
| Width | 1000mm | The largest single-bay width in the range. Substantial display capacity while remaining practical to position in a retail corner, exhibition bay or reception alcove. |
| Depth | 400mm | Deep enough for layered product arrangements, shallow enough to sit against a wall without encroaching on customer circulation space. |
| Weight | 75kg | Structural. The heavy-gauge frame gives genuine freestanding stability in busy commercial environments. No anchoring required. |
| Glass Construction | 360-degree: sides, back and doors all glazed | Full visibility from every angle. Unlike cabinets with opaque backs, this cabinet shows your display to anyone approaching from any direction. |
| Door & Side Glass | 4mm toughened glass | Commercial specification. Significantly stronger than domestic-grade glass, specified to resist the daily loads of a public-facing environment. |
| Shelf Glass | 5mm tempered glass | Shelves carry load, so they are specified thicker than the surrounding panels. 5mm tempered is the correct commercial specification for a display shelf in daily use. |
| Shelf System | 4 shelves on continuous rod track, infinite height positions | Slide each shelf to any height and lock it. No fixed holes, no compromised positions. Remove shelves entirely for tall or irregular items. Reconfigure in minutes. |
| Shelf Capacity | 12kg per shelf | Sufficient for the vast majority of display items. Place heavier objects on lower shelves for optimal stability. |
| Additional Shelves | Glazier-cut to dimensions we supply | We provide the exact 5mm tempered glass dimensions for a local glazier to cut additional shelves. Shelf support rods available from us. Contact us after purchase. |
| LED Lighting | 10 x integrated spotlights, 6400K daylight | Ten spotlights built permanently into the frame, illuminating every shelf level from above and the sides. 6400K daylight eliminates yellow cast. Fixed as standard. |
| Doors | Hinged double doors, full-width | Swing fully open for complete, unobstructed loading access. Clean, professional operation every time. |
| Security | Key lock, 2 keys supplied | One key secures both doors simultaneously. Two keys supplied as standard. |
| Frame Material | Heavy-gauge aluminium, black finish | Commercial-grade aluminium extrusion. Rigid, corrosion-resistant and finished in a hard black coating that holds its appearance under daily use in high-traffic environments. |
| Fire Standard | BS 5852:2006 Section 12 | UK fire safety standard for furniture in commercial and public environments, independently tested across the complete assembly. Provides documented compliance evidence for retail, hospitality, education and public sector procurement. |

Q: How does the shelf system work?

360-Degree Glass. 10 LED Spotlights. Infinite Shelf Positions. This Is What a Display Cabinet Should Be.
As the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of display cabinets, we have been designing and building our own range since 1978. This 1000mm black glass display cabinet is the product of that accumulated knowledge applied without compromise. 4mm toughened glass on every side, back and door. 5mm fire-rated tempered glass shelves on a rod track system with infinite height positions. 10 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights built into the frame. A heavy-gauge black aluminium frame weighing 75kg that stands without wall-fixing. Lockable hinged double doors. Independently fire-tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12.
Key Features
- 360-Degree Glass Construction: 4mm toughened glass on all four sides, the full back panel and both doors. Every angle of your display is fully visible. No opaque walls, no blocked sightlines.
- UK-Designed and Manufactured Since 1978: We are not resellers. We are the manufacturer. This cabinet is an own-design product built to a specification we have refined over decades of commercial display experience.
- 5mm Tempered Glass Rod Shelf System: Four shelves slide to any height along a continuous rod track. Reconfigure in seconds, or remove shelves entirely to use the full 1800mm interior height.
- 10 Integrated LED Spotlights, 6400K Daylight: Built permanently into the frame. Daylight-temperature light eliminates yellow cast and renders true colour at every shelf level. No shadows, no dead zones.
- Lockable Hinged Double Doors: Full-width doors open completely for unobstructed loading access. Single key lock secures both doors simultaneously. Two keys supplied.
- Heavy-Gauge Commercial Black Aluminium Frame: 75kg of precision-built stability. Stands without wall-fixing in any public-facing environment.

Where This Cabinet Is Used
| Retail & Boutique | Jewellers, watchmakers, fashion accessories, footwear and gift shops where 360-degree glass maximises product visibility and the lock keeps high-value items secure. |

| Corporate Reception | Awards, trophies, product showcases and branded installations where the cabinet itself makes a statement before a visitor looks at what is inside. |

| Hospitality & Leisure | Wine and spirits displays, premium showcases and experiential presentations in hotel bars and restaurants where visual impact must be matched by physical security. |

The Displaysense 1000mm black glass display cabinet is built to eliminate the compromises common at this price point. 360-degree 4mm toughened glass on every side, back and door. Four 5mm fire-rated tempered glass shelves on an infinite-position rod track. 10 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights. Independently fire tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12. Lockable hinged double doors. 75kg of stable, commercial-grade black aluminium frame. Displaysense has designed and manufactured this range in the UK since 1978.
360-degree glass means all four sides are glazed: both side panels, the full rear and both front doors are 4mm toughened glass. There is no opaque back wall, no solid side blocking the sightline from an angle. A customer approaching from the side sees your display with the same clarity as someone standing directly in front. For jewellery, collectables and high-value merchandise, that visibility is the point.
The four shelves travel a continuous rod track the full interior height. Set any shelf to any position, lock without tools, reconfigure in seconds. Remove all four to use the full 1800mm interior unobstructed. The hinged double doors open fully for clear loading access and lock with a single key. Two keys supplied. Ten LED spotlights are built into the frame and illuminate every shelf level evenly from above and the sides.
We are not resellers. We design and manufacture our own cabinets and have done since 1978. The heavy-gauge black aluminium frame is built to a commercial specification: genuinely stable at 75kg, no anchoring required. Fire tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 across the full assembly.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Design & Origin | UK-designed and manufactured by Displaysense since 1978 | We are not resellers. Every specification (glass thickness, rod system, frame gauge, LED positioning) has been chosen by our in-house team based on decades of commercial display experience. |
| Height | 1800mm (approx. 5ft 11in) | Commands a room. Maximises vertical display capacity without wall mounting. |
| Width | 1000mm | The largest single-bay width in the range. Substantial display capacity while remaining practical to position in a retail corner, exhibition bay or reception alcove. |
| Depth | 400mm | Deep enough for layered product arrangements, shallow enough to sit against a wall without encroaching on customer circulation space. |
| Weight | 75kg | Structural. The heavy-gauge frame gives genuine freestanding stability in busy commercial environments. No anchoring required. |
| Glass Construction | 360-degree: sides, back and doors all glazed | Full visibility from every angle. Unlike cabinets with opaque backs, this cabinet shows your display to anyone approaching from any direction. |
| Door & Side Glass | 4mm toughened glass | Commercial specification. Significantly stronger than domestic-grade glass, specified to resist the daily loads of a public-facing environment. |
| Shelf Glass | 5mm tempered glass | Shelves carry load, so they are specified thicker than the surrounding panels. 5mm tempered is the correct commercial specification for a display shelf in daily use. |
| Shelf System | 4 shelves on continuous rod track, infinite height positions | Slide each shelf to any height and lock it. No fixed holes, no compromised positions. Remove shelves entirely for tall or irregular items. Reconfigure in minutes. |
| Shelf Capacity | 12kg per shelf | Sufficient for the vast majority of display items. Place heavier objects on lower shelves for optimal stability. |
| Additional Shelves | Glazier-cut to dimensions we supply | We provide the exact 5mm tempered glass dimensions for a local glazier to cut additional shelves. Shelf support rods available from us. Contact us after purchase. |
| LED Lighting | 10 x integrated spotlights, 6400K daylight | Ten spotlights built permanently into the frame, illuminating every shelf level from above and the sides. 6400K daylight eliminates yellow cast. Fixed as standard. |
| Doors | Hinged double doors, full-width | Swing fully open for complete, unobstructed loading access. Clean, professional operation every time. |
| Security | Key lock, 2 keys supplied | One key secures both doors simultaneously. Two keys supplied as standard. |
| Frame Material | Heavy-gauge aluminium, black finish | Commercial-grade aluminium extrusion. Rigid, corrosion-resistant and finished in a hard black coating that holds its appearance under daily use in high-traffic environments. |
| Fire Standard | BS 5852:2006 Section 12 | UK fire safety standard for furniture in commercial and public environments, independently tested across the complete assembly. Provides documented compliance evidence for retail, hospitality, education and public sector procurement. |
