The Same Uncompromising Specification. A Finish That Works With Light.
The 1000mm silver glass display cabinet carries every feature of our most specified freestanding cabinet in a silver aluminium frame built for environments where light matters. The same 4mm toughened glass on all sides, back and doors. The same 5mm fire-rated tempered glass shelves on an infinite-position rod track. The same 10 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights. The same independent BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire compliance. Where it differs from the black model is in how the frame interacts with the space around it: in bright, neutral or light-toned environments, silver is the more considered choice.
Key Features
- Silver Aluminium Frame, 70.64kg: Reflects and distributes light in bright or neutral interiors. Stands without wall-fixing on a heavy-gauge commercial frame.
- 360-Degree Glass Construction: 4mm toughened glass on both side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors. No opaque walls, no blocked sightlines. Full display visibility from every angle of approach.
- UK-Designed and Manufactured Since 1978: You are buying directly from the manufacturer. No intermediary, no import markup, no uncertainty about post-purchase support.
- 5mm Tempered Glass Rod Shelf System: Four shelves travel the full height of a continuous rod track and lock wherever you set them. No fixed increments, no drilling required. Pull them all out and the interior becomes an open 1800mm column suited to tall sculptural pieces or floor-to-ceiling display installations.
- 10 Integrated 6400K Daylight LED Spotlights: Permanently built into the frame. Daylight temperature light renders true colour with no yellow cast and no shadows at any shelf level.
- Lockable Hinged Double Doors: Two hinged doors span the full cabinet width and open to give completely clear access for loading and rearranging the display. A single key operates both locks. Two keys are included.
- BS 5852:2006 Section 12 Fire Compliant: Independently tested across the complete assembly. Certificate available immediately. Download fire certification.
- Need More Shelves? We supply the exact 5mm tempered glass dimensions for a glazier to cut additional panels. Shelf support rods are available from us at any time. Contact us for details.
- Assembly Required: Delivered flat-packed with all fixings and instructions. Watch our assembly video on YouTube.
Where This Cabinet Is Used
| Galleries & Museums | Clean-walled gallery environments where a silver aluminium frame sits naturally against white or neutral backdrops. All-round glass visibility is essential for artefact and collection display, and fire compliance is typically a site requirement. |
| Retail & Boutique | Jewellers, opticians, fashion accessories and gift stores with light-toned interiors. The silver frame complements pale fixtures and bright lighting rather than creating visual contrast with them. |
| Corporate Reception | Awards, trophies and branded product showcases in reception areas with marble, pale stone, chrome or contemporary neutral finishes. Silver integrates without competing with the wider interior scheme. |
| Education | Trophy cabinets and achievement displays in schools and universities. BS 5852 fire compliance and key-locking doors are standard procurement requirements for educational settings. |
| Hospitality & Leisure | Wine and spirits showcases, premium product displays and experiential presentations in venues where stainless, chrome and pale timber are the dominant interior finishes. Silver reads as a natural companion to these materials. |
| Public Sector | Trophy displays, reception areas and heritage collections across councils, NHS estates and government buildings. The fire certificate and commercial construction specification satisfy standard procurement requirements without supplementary testing. |
| Home Collectors | Figures, watches, sneakers, Lego, memorabilia and fine objects displayed in home rooms with white walls, light flooring or Scandi-influenced interiors where a black frame would feel too dominant. |

Some display cabinets are built to be noticed. This one is built to show what is inside it. The Displaysense 1000mm silver glass display cabinet does its job by getting out of the way. A silver aluminium frame that catches light rather than competing with it. 360-degree toughened glass on every side, back and door, so nothing interrupts the view from any angle. 10 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights that render colour faithfully and eliminate shadow. Four 5mm tempered glass shelves that position anywhere and lock there. This is what a well-specified display cabinet looks like when the finish has been chosen as deliberately as everything else.
Silver is not a compromise finish. In the right environment it is the correct one. White-walled galleries, bright retail floors with neutral joinery, corporate reception areas with marble or pale stone, home display rooms with good natural light: in all of these the silver aluminium profile works with the room. It reflects and distributes light rather than absorbing it. The result is a cabinet that reads as part of the space, not imposed on it. For environments where a black cabinet would feel too heavy or too contrasting, silver is the answer.
The all-glass construction is not a styling decision. It is a functional one. Both side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors are 4mm toughened glass. Approach from the left, the right or straight on: the view is the same uninterrupted glass throughout. In environments where customers browse from multiple directions, or where display impact depends on a passing glance rather than a direct approach, this configuration is worth specifying deliberately.
Inside, the four 5mm tempered glass shelves run on a continuous rod track the full height of the cabinet. Slide any shelf to the position you need and it locks there. No predefined holes, no fixed increments. Clear them out entirely to work with the unbroken 1800mm column for tall items. Two hinged doors span the cabinet width and swing open completely. One key secures both. Ten daylight LEDs sit within the frame, positioned to push light to every level without shadow.
Displaysense has been designing and manufacturing display cabinets in the UK since 1978. We are not resellers and we do not white-label stock. This cabinet was specified, developed and tested by our own team. The heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame at 70.64kg is stable enough to stand without wall-fixing in a busy public environment. The glass throughout is independently tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12: the fire safety standard required for retail, hospitality, education and public sector use. The certificate is downloadable and can go straight to your procurement team.
The cabinet ships with four shelves. If you need more, we supply the exact 5mm tempered glass dimensions so a local glazier can cut additional panels to fit. Additional shelf support rods are also available from us after purchase. Contact us and we will send you everything you need.
Independent fire safety testing to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 covers the complete assembly. The full certificate is available to download here and can be shared with facilities, procurement or compliance teams without waiting for paperwork.

See This Cabinet in Detail
Watch our product video below to see the 360-degree glass, the rod shelf system in use, how the doors operate and how items look displayed inside under the LED spotlights.
The silver 1000mm cabinet carries an identical internal specification to the black model. The figures below are the same. What changes is the frame finish and the weight, which reflects the silver profile. Every dimension, glass thickness, LED count and fire standard applies equally to both.
At 1800mm tall with 360-degree glass and a 1000mm bay width, this is a cabinet that fills a wall properly. Four shelves give you five usable levels including the base. Pull them all out and you have a 1800mm tall fully glazed column of light: useful for sculptures, tall bottles, layered garment displays or any object that a fixed-shelf cabinet simply cannot accommodate.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Design & Origin | UK-designed and manufactured by Displaysense since 1978 | Own-design product from the manufacturer. No reseller, no intermediary. Every specification was made by our own team based on what commercial display environments require in practice. |
| Frame Finish | Silver aluminium | Reflects light in bright environments rather than absorbing it. The right finish for white walls, pale floors, gallery settings, contemporary reception areas and home display rooms with natural light. Pairs naturally with brushed steel, chrome and light timber. |
| Height | 1800mm (approx. 5ft 11in) | Full floor-to-near-ceiling presence. Visible from across a room and maximises vertical display capacity without the permanence or complexity of wall mounting. |
| Width | 1000mm | The widest single-bay option in the range. Genuine display capacity for multiple product lines, a large collection or a statement installation, while remaining practical for a retail corner or exhibition space. |
| Depth | 400mm | Accommodates layered product arrangements and standard display depths without encroaching on customer circulation or floor space behind the cabinet. |
| Weight | 70.64kg | Heavy enough to stand without anchoring in any public-facing environment. Light enough to reposition with two people when the layout needs to change. |
| Glass Construction | 360-degree: sides, back and doors all glazed | Unobstructed visibility from every angle. Cabinets with opaque backs or solid sides limit sightlines to one direction. This cabinet shows your display to anyone approaching from any point: essential for retail floors, exhibitions and open gallery layouts. |
| Door & Side Glass | 4mm toughened glass | Commercial specification throughout. Substantially stronger than domestic-grade glass and built to take the daily contact loads of a high-traffic public environment without risk of breakage. |
| Shelf Glass | 5mm tempered glass | Shelves are load-bearing, so they are specified one millimetre thicker than the surrounding panels. 5mm tempered glass is the correct commercial grade for a shelf carrying product weight day after day. |
| Shelf System | 4 shelves on continuous rod track, infinite positions | Slide each shelf to any point and it holds firm. No drilling, no fixed increments. Remove all four for the full 1800mm column. Reconfigures without tools in minutes. |
| Shelf Capacity | 12kg per shelf | Practical for the full range of typical display items. Position heavier pieces on lower shelves to keep the centre of gravity low and the cabinet stable. |
| Additional Shelves | Glazier-cut to dimensions we supply | We provide the exact cutting dimensions. A local glazier produces the 5mm tempered panels. We supply additional rod supports. No specialist parts required beyond what a glazier can produce from our spec. Contact us after purchase. |
| LED Lighting | 10 x integrated spotlights, 6400K daylight | Ten spotlights permanently within the silver frame, covering every shelf level without shadow. 6400K daylight temperature means items read accurately with no colour cast. |
| Doors | Hinged double doors, full-width | Both doors open outward giving access across the entire cabinet width. Nothing slides, nothing blocks. Reliable at any access frequency. |
| Security | Key lock, 2 keys supplied | One key action secures both doors. Two keys included. Suitable for any environment where contents need to be protected from unsupervised access: retail, museums, education, public sector and private collector use. |
| Fire Standard | BS 5852:2006 Section 12 | The complete assembly, not individual components, was submitted for independent testing to this UK fire safety standard. Compliance is documented and verifiable rather than self-declared. If your procurement process requires evidence of fire compliance before an order can be placed, the certificate is available before you commit. |
| Certification | Download fire safety certificate | Available immediately. No request required. |
| Assembly | Required. Flat-packed with all fixings | All hardware and clear written instructions are included. Watch our step-by-step assembly video on YouTube before you start. Builds to a rigid, stable unit. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Displaysense the manufacturer of this cabinet?
A: Yes. Displaysense is the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of display cabinets. We are not a reseller. This silver model was developed by our own design team and we have been producing display cabinets in the UK since 1978.
Q: Why choose silver over black?
A: The two models are mechanically identical. Silver reflects and distributes ambient light, which suits white or pale walls, bright retail lighting, natural daylight and neutral interior finishes. Black creates visual contrast and suits darker or more dramatic interiors. If your space is light and the cabinet needs to sit within it, silver is usually the right call.
Q: What does 360-degree glass construction mean?
A: The cabinet has no opaque panels. Both side panels, the entire rear panel and both front doors are all 4mm toughened glass. For retail environments where customers approach from multiple directions, or gallery settings where sightlines matter from across the room, this is the construction that delivers full visibility from every angle.
Q: What are the dimensions and weight?
A: The cabinet measures 1800mm high x 1000mm wide x 400mm deep and weighs 70.64kg. These are the external frame dimensions. The usable interior display space is slightly smaller once the silver aluminium frame profiles are accounted for.
Q: How thick is the glass?
A: The door panels, side panels and rear panel are all 4mm toughened glass. The shelves are 5mm tempered glass, specified thicker because they carry load. Both specifications are commercial grade.
Q: How does the shelf system work?
A: A continuous rod track runs the full interior height of the cabinet. The four 5mm tempered glass shelves hang from this track and can be moved to any height at all. Slide a shelf to where you need it and it holds firm. There are no drilled holes, no fixed increment positions and no tools required for adjustment. Remove all four shelves entirely if you need the full 1800mm column for a single tall piece or an installation that standard fixed-shelf cabinets cannot accommodate.
Q: Can I add more shelves?
A: Yes. After purchase, contact us and we will provide the precise cutting dimensions for 5mm tempered glass panels. Take those to any local glazier and they can produce additional shelves that fit the cabinet exactly. We also supply the shelf support rods separately. No specialist components are needed beyond what a standard glazier can cut to our specification.
Q: What are the LED lights like and can they be removed?
A: Ten LED spotlights are built permanently into the silver aluminium frame and illuminate every shelf level from above and the sides. The colour temperature is 6400K daylight, which gives a crisp, neutral white light that shows the true colour and quality of displayed items with no yellow cast. The LEDs are a fixed feature of the cabinet and cannot be removed.
Q: How do the doors work and how is it locked?
A: Two hinged doors span the full width of the cabinet and open outward from opposite sides. When both are open, access to the entire interior is completely unobstructed. One key turns a central lock that secures both doors simultaneously. Two keys are included as standard.
Q: Is this cabinet stable? Does it need wall-fixing?
A: At 70.64kg on a heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame with a solid base construction, this cabinet stands confidently as a freestanding unit in busy commercial environments. Wall-fixing is not required, though it remains an option if your installation specification calls for it.
Q: What fire safety standard does this cabinet meet?
A: The complete assembled cabinet has been independently tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12, the UK fire safety standard for furniture in commercial and public use. Testing covers the full assembly, not individual components. The certificate is available to download directly from this page and can be forwarded to procurement or facilities teams immediately.
Q: Is this silver cabinet available in other sizes?
A: Yes. The silver range is available in 400mm, 600mm, 800mm, 1000mm and 1200mm widths, all at 1800mm height. Every size shares the same 360-degree glass construction, rod shelf system, 10-LED specification and BS 5852:2006 fire compliance. Use the width selector on this page to choose your size.
Q: How is the cabinet delivered?
A: At 70.64kg this is a heavy goods item. It travels on a pallet via a specialist courier with a tail lift, free to Zone 1 UK mainland addresses. This is a book-in service: after dispatch we contact you to agree a delivery day. A telephone number is required at checkout. Full zone information is in the Delivery tab.
Q: Does this cabinet require assembly?
A: Yes, assembly is required. The cabinet is delivered flat-packed with all fixings and clear written instructions included. We also have a full step-by-step assembly video. Watch it on YouTube before you start and the process is straightforward.
Q: Do you offer discounts for larger orders?
A: Yes. A 3% volume discount applies from 2 units. For larger project requirements, a multi-site rollout or a public sector tender, please contact our team or call 01279 460 460 for a tailored quote.

Description
Some display cabinets are built to be noticed. This one is built to show what is inside it. The Displaysense 1000mm silver glass display cabinet does its job by getting out of the way. A silver aluminium frame that catches light rather than competing with it. 360-degree toughened glass on every side, back and door, so nothing interrupts the view from any angle. 10 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights that render colour faithfully and eliminate shadow. Four 5mm tempered glass shelves that position anywhere and lock there. This is what a well-specified display cabinet looks like when the finish has been chosen as deliberately as everything else.
Silver is not a compromise finish. In the right environment it is the correct one. White-walled galleries, bright retail floors with neutral joinery, corporate reception areas with marble or pale stone, home display rooms with good natural light: in all of these the silver aluminium profile works with the room. It reflects and distributes light rather than absorbing it. The result is a cabinet that reads as part of the space, not imposed on it. For environments where a black cabinet would feel too heavy or too contrasting, silver is the answer.
The all-glass construction is not a styling decision. It is a functional one. Both side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors are 4mm toughened glass. Approach from the left, the right or straight on: the view is the same uninterrupted glass throughout. In environments where customers browse from multiple directions, or where display impact depends on a passing glance rather than a direct approach, this configuration is worth specifying deliberately.
Inside, the four 5mm tempered glass shelves run on a continuous rod track the full height of the cabinet. Slide any shelf to the position you need and it locks there. No predefined holes, no fixed increments. Clear them out entirely to work with the unbroken 1800mm column for tall items. Two hinged doors span the cabinet width and swing open completely. One key secures both. Ten daylight LEDs sit within the frame, positioned to push light to every level without shadow.

Specifications
The silver 1000mm cabinet carries an identical internal specification to the black model. The figures below are the same. What changes is the frame finish and the weight, which reflects the silver profile. Every dimension, glass thickness, LED count and fire standard applies equally to both.
At 1800mm tall with 360-degree glass and a 1000mm bay width, this is a cabinet that fills a wall properly. Four shelves give you five usable levels including the base. Pull them all out and you have a 1800mm tall fully glazed column of light: useful for sculptures, tall bottles, layered garment displays or any object that a fixed-shelf cabinet simply cannot accommodate.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Design & Origin | UK-designed and manufactured by Displaysense since 1978 | Own-design product from the manufacturer. No reseller, no intermediary. Every specification was made by our own team based on what commercial display environments require in practice. |
| Frame Finish | Silver aluminium | Reflects light in bright environments rather than absorbing it. The right finish for white walls, pale floors, gallery settings, contemporary reception areas and home display rooms with natural light. Pairs naturally with brushed steel, chrome and light timber. |
| Height | 1800mm (approx. 5ft 11in) | Full floor-to-near-ceiling presence. Visible from across a room and maximises vertical display capacity without the permanence or complexity of wall mounting. |
| Width | 1000mm | The widest single-bay option in the range. Genuine display capacity for multiple product lines, a large collection or a statement installation, while remaining practical for a retail corner or exhibition space. |
| Depth | 400mm | Accommodates layered product arrangements and standard display depths without encroaching on customer circulation or floor space behind the cabinet. |
| Weight | 70.64kg | Heavy enough to stand without anchoring in any public-facing environment. Light enough to reposition with two people when the layout needs to change. |
| Glass Construction | 360-degree: sides, back and doors all glazed | Unobstructed visibility from every angle. Cabinets with opaque backs or solid sides limit sightlines to one direction. This cabinet shows your display to anyone approaching from any point: essential for retail floors, exhibitions and open gallery layouts. |
| Door & Side Glass | 4mm toughened glass | Commercial specification throughout. Substantially stronger than domestic-grade glass and built to take the daily contact loads of a high-traffic public environment without risk of breakage. |
| Shelf Glass | 5mm tempered glass | Shelves are load-bearing, so they are specified one millimetre thicker than the surrounding panels. 5mm tempered glass is the correct commercial grade for a shelf carrying product weight day after day. |
| Shelf System | 4 shelves on continuous rod track, infinite positions | Slide each shelf to any point and it holds firm. No drilling, no fixed increments. Remove all four for the full 1800mm column. Reconfigures without tools in minutes. |
| Shelf Capacity | 12kg per shelf | Practical for the full range of typical display items. Position heavier pieces on lower shelves to keep the centre of gravity low and the cabinet stable. |
| Additional Shelves | Glazier-cut to dimensions we supply | We provide the exact cutting dimensions. A local glazier produces the 5mm tempered panels. We supply additional rod supports. No specialist parts required beyond what a glazier can produce from our spec. Contact us after purchase. |
| LED Lighting | 10 x integrated spotlights, 6400K daylight | Ten spotlights permanently within the silver frame, covering every shelf level without shadow. 6400K daylight temperature means items read accurately with no colour cast. |
| Doors | Hinged double doors, full-width | Both doors open outward giving access across the entire cabinet width. Nothing slides, nothing blocks. Reliable at any access frequency. |
| Security | Key lock, 2 keys supplied | One key action secures both doors. Two keys included. Suitable for any environment where contents need to be protected from unsupervised access: retail, museums, education, public sector and private collector use. |
| Fire Standard | BS 5852:2006 Section 12 | The complete assembly, not individual components, was submitted for independent testing to this UK fire safety standard. Compliance is documented and verifiable rather than self-declared. If your procurement process requires evidence of fire compliance before an order can be placed, the certificate is available before you commit. |
| Certification | Download fire safety certificate | Available immediately. No request required. |

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Displaysense the manufacturer of this cabinet?
A: Yes. Displaysense is the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of display cabinets. We are not a reseller. This silver model was developed by our own design team and we have been producing display cabinets in the UK since 1978.
Q: Why choose silver over black?
A: The two models are mechanically identical. Silver reflects and distributes ambient light, which suits white or pale walls, bright retail lighting, natural daylight and neutral interior finishes. Black creates visual contrast and suits darker or more dramatic interiors. If your space is light and the cabinet needs to sit within it, silver is usually the right call.
Q: What does 360-degree glass construction mean?
A: The cabinet has no opaque panels. Both side panels, the entire rear panel and both front doors are all 4mm toughened glass. For retail environments where customers approach from multiple directions, or gallery settings where sightlines matter from across the room, this is the construction that delivers full visibility from every angle.
Q: What are the dimensions and weight?
A: The cabinet measures 1800mm high x 1000mm wide x 400mm deep and weighs 70.64kg. These are the external frame dimensions. The usable interior display space is slightly smaller once the silver aluminium frame profiles are accounted for.
Q: How thick is the glass?
A: The door panels, side panels and rear panel are all 4mm toughened glass. The shelves are 5mm tempered glass, specified thicker because they carry load. Both specifications are commercial grade.
Q: How does the shelf system work?
A: A continuous rod track runs the full interior height of the cabinet. The four 5mm tempered glass shelves hang from this track and can be moved to any height at all. Slide a shelf to where you need it and it holds firm. There are no drilled holes, no fixed increment positions and no tools required for adjustment. Remove all four shelves entirely if you need the full 1800mm column for a single tall piece or an installation that standard fixed-shelf cabinets cannot accommodate.
Q: Can I add more shelves?
A: Yes. After purchase, contact us and we will provide the precise cutting dimensions for 5mm tempered glass panels. Take those to any local glazier and they can produce additional shelves that fit the cabinet exactly. We also supply the shelf support rods separately. No specialist components are needed beyond what a standard glazier can cut to our specification.
Q: What are the LED lights like and can they be removed?
A: Ten LED spotlights are built permanently into the silver aluminium frame and illuminate every shelf level from above and the sides. The colour temperature is 6400K daylight, which gives a crisp, neutral white light that shows the true colour and quality of displayed items with no yellow cast. The LEDs are a fixed feature of the cabinet and cannot be removed.
Q: How do the doors work and how is it locked?
A: Two hinged doors span the full width of the cabinet and open outward from opposite sides. When both are open, access to the entire interior is completely unobstructed. One key turns a central lock that secures both doors simultaneously. Two keys are included as standard.
Q: Is this cabinet stable? Does it need wall-fixing?
A: At 70.64kg on a heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame with a solid base construction, this cabinet stands confidently as a freestanding unit in busy commercial environments. Wall-fixing is not required, though it remains an option if your installation specification calls for it.
Q: What fire safety standard does this cabinet meet?
A: The complete assembled cabinet has been independently tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12, the UK fire safety standard for furniture in commercial and public use. Testing covers the full assembly, not individual components. The certificate is available to download directly from this page and can be forwarded to procurement or facilities teams immediately.
Q: Is this silver cabinet available in other sizes?
A: Yes. The silver range is available in 400mm, 600mm, 800mm, 1000mm and 1200mm widths, all at 1800mm height. Every size shares the same 360-degree glass construction, rod shelf system, 10-LED specification and BS 5852:2006 fire compliance. Use the width selector on this page to choose your size.
Q: How is the cabinet delivered?
A: At 70.64kg this is a heavy goods item. It travels on a pallet via a specialist courier with a tail lift, free to Zone 1 UK mainland addresses. This is a book-in service: after dispatch we contact you to agree a delivery day. A telephone number is required at checkout. Full zone information is in the Delivery tab.
Q: Does this cabinet require assembly?
A: Yes, assembly is required. The cabinet is delivered flat-packed with all fixings and clear written instructions included. We also have a full step-by-step assembly video. Watch it on YouTube before you start and the process is straightforward.
Q: Do you offer discounts for larger orders?
A: Yes. A 3% volume discount applies from 2 units. For larger project requirements, a multi-site rollout or a public sector tender, please contact our team or call 01279 460 460 for a tailored quote.

The Same Uncompromising Specification. A Finish That Works With Light.
The 1000mm silver glass display cabinet carries every feature of our most specified freestanding cabinet in a silver aluminium frame built for environments where light matters. The same 4mm toughened glass on all sides, back and doors. The same 5mm fire-rated tempered glass shelves on an infinite-position rod track. The same 10 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights. The same independent BS 5852:2006 Section 12 fire compliance. Where it differs from the black model is in how the frame interacts with the space around it: in bright, neutral or light-toned environments, silver is the more considered choice.
Key Features
- Silver Aluminium Frame, 70.64kg: Reflects and distributes light in bright or neutral interiors. Stands without wall-fixing on a heavy-gauge commercial frame.
- 360-Degree Glass Construction: 4mm toughened glass on both side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors. No opaque walls, no blocked sightlines. Full display visibility from every angle of approach.
- UK-Designed and Manufactured Since 1978: You are buying directly from the manufacturer. No intermediary, no import markup, no uncertainty about post-purchase support.
- 5mm Tempered Glass Rod Shelf System: Four shelves travel the full height of a continuous rod track and lock wherever you set them. No fixed increments, no drilling required. Pull them all out and the interior becomes an open 1800mm column suited to tall sculptural pieces or floor-to-ceiling display installations.
- 10 Integrated 6400K Daylight LED Spotlights: Permanently built into the frame. Daylight temperature light renders true colour with no yellow cast and no shadows at any shelf level.
- Lockable Hinged Double Doors: Two hinged doors span the full cabinet width and open to give completely clear access for loading and rearranging the display. A single key operates both locks. Two keys are included.
- BS 5852:2006 Section 12 Fire Compliant: Independently tested across the complete assembly. Certificate available immediately. Download fire certification.
- Need More Shelves? We supply the exact 5mm tempered glass dimensions for a glazier to cut additional panels. Shelf support rods are available from us at any time. Contact us for details.
- Assembly Required: Delivered flat-packed with all fixings and instructions. Watch our assembly video on YouTube.
Where This Cabinet Is Used
| Galleries & Museums | Clean-walled gallery environments where a silver aluminium frame sits naturally against white or neutral backdrops. All-round glass visibility is essential for artefact and collection display, and fire compliance is typically a site requirement. |
| Retail & Boutique | Jewellers, opticians, fashion accessories and gift stores with light-toned interiors. The silver frame complements pale fixtures and bright lighting rather than creating visual contrast with them. |
| Corporate Reception | Awards, trophies and branded product showcases in reception areas with marble, pale stone, chrome or contemporary neutral finishes. Silver integrates without competing with the wider interior scheme. |
| Education | Trophy cabinets and achievement displays in schools and universities. BS 5852 fire compliance and key-locking doors are standard procurement requirements for educational settings. |
| Hospitality & Leisure | Wine and spirits showcases, premium product displays and experiential presentations in venues where stainless, chrome and pale timber are the dominant interior finishes. Silver reads as a natural companion to these materials. |
| Public Sector | Trophy displays, reception areas and heritage collections across councils, NHS estates and government buildings. The fire certificate and commercial construction specification satisfy standard procurement requirements without supplementary testing. |
| Home Collectors | Figures, watches, sneakers, Lego, memorabilia and fine objects displayed in home rooms with white walls, light flooring or Scandi-influenced interiors where a black frame would feel too dominant. |
Product reference: DTS1001LED. Displaysense 1000mm silver aluminium glass display cabinet. Freestanding, lockable, self-assembly. Height 1800mm, width 1000mm, depth 400mm, weight 70.64kg. Silver heavy-gauge aluminium frame. Glass specification: 4mm toughened glass doors, sides and rear panel; 5mm tempered glass shelves. Shelf system: continuous rod track with infinite height adjustment, shelves fully removable, 12kg capacity per shelf. Integrated lighting: 10 x 6400K daylight LED spotlights, fixed. Door operation: hinged double doors, key lock, 2 keys supplied. Fire compliance: BS 5852:2006 Section 12, independently tested, certificate downloadable. Manufacturer: Displaysense, UK-designed and manufactured since 1978. Volume pricing: 3% discount from 2 units.
Some display cabinets are built to be noticed. This one is built to show what is inside it. The Displaysense 1000mm silver glass display cabinet does its job by getting out of the way. A silver aluminium frame that catches light rather than competing with it. 360-degree toughened glass on every side, back and door, so nothing interrupts the view from any angle. 10 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights that render colour faithfully and eliminate shadow. Four 5mm tempered glass shelves that position anywhere and lock there. This is what a well-specified display cabinet looks like when the finish has been chosen as deliberately as everything else.
Silver is not a compromise finish. In the right environment it is the correct one. White-walled galleries, bright retail floors with neutral joinery, corporate reception areas with marble or pale stone, home display rooms with good natural light: in all of these the silver aluminium profile works with the room. It reflects and distributes light rather than absorbing it. The result is a cabinet that reads as part of the space, not imposed on it. For environments where a black cabinet would feel too heavy or too contrasting, silver is the answer.
The all-glass construction is not a styling decision. It is a functional one. Both side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors are 4mm toughened glass. Approach from the left, the right or straight on: the view is the same uninterrupted glass throughout. In environments where customers browse from multiple directions, or where display impact depends on a passing glance rather than a direct approach, this configuration is worth specifying deliberately.
Inside, the four 5mm tempered glass shelves run on a continuous rod track the full height of the cabinet. Slide any shelf to the position you need and it locks there. No predefined holes, no fixed increments. Clear them out entirely to work with the unbroken 1800mm column for tall items. Two hinged doors span the cabinet width and swing open completely. One key secures both. Ten daylight LEDs sit within the frame, positioned to push light to every level without shadow.
Displaysense has been designing and manufacturing display cabinets in the UK since 1978. We are not resellers and we do not white-label stock. This cabinet was specified, developed and tested by our own team. The heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame at 70.64kg is stable enough to stand without wall-fixing in a busy public environment. The glass throughout is independently tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12: the fire safety standard required for retail, hospitality, education and public sector use. The certificate is downloadable and can go straight to your procurement team.
The cabinet ships with four shelves. If you need more, we supply the exact 5mm tempered glass dimensions so a local glazier can cut additional panels to fit. Additional shelf support rods are also available from us after purchase. Contact us and we will send you everything you need.
Independent fire safety testing to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 covers the complete assembly. The full certificate is available to download here and can be shared with facilities, procurement or compliance teams without waiting for paperwork.

See This Cabinet in Detail
Watch our product video below to see the 360-degree glass, the rod shelf system in use, how the doors operate and how items look displayed inside under the LED spotlights.
The silver 1000mm cabinet carries an identical internal specification to the black model. The figures below are the same. What changes is the frame finish and the weight, which reflects the silver profile. Every dimension, glass thickness, LED count and fire standard applies equally to both.
At 1800mm tall with 360-degree glass and a 1000mm bay width, this is a cabinet that fills a wall properly. Four shelves give you five usable levels including the base. Pull them all out and you have a 1800mm tall fully glazed column of light: useful for sculptures, tall bottles, layered garment displays or any object that a fixed-shelf cabinet simply cannot accommodate.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Design & Origin | UK-designed and manufactured by Displaysense since 1978 | Own-design product from the manufacturer. No reseller, no intermediary. Every specification was made by our own team based on what commercial display environments require in practice. |
| Frame Finish | Silver aluminium | Reflects light in bright environments rather than absorbing it. The right finish for white walls, pale floors, gallery settings, contemporary reception areas and home display rooms with natural light. Pairs naturally with brushed steel, chrome and light timber. |
| Height | 1800mm (approx. 5ft 11in) | Full floor-to-near-ceiling presence. Visible from across a room and maximises vertical display capacity without the permanence or complexity of wall mounting. |
| Width | 1000mm | The widest single-bay option in the range. Genuine display capacity for multiple product lines, a large collection or a statement installation, while remaining practical for a retail corner or exhibition space. |
| Depth | 400mm | Accommodates layered product arrangements and standard display depths without encroaching on customer circulation or floor space behind the cabinet. |
| Weight | 70.64kg | Heavy enough to stand without anchoring in any public-facing environment. Light enough to reposition with two people when the layout needs to change. |
| Glass Construction | 360-degree: sides, back and doors all glazed | Unobstructed visibility from every angle. Cabinets with opaque backs or solid sides limit sightlines to one direction. This cabinet shows your display to anyone approaching from any point: essential for retail floors, exhibitions and open gallery layouts. |
| Door & Side Glass | 4mm toughened glass | Commercial specification throughout. Substantially stronger than domestic-grade glass and built to take the daily contact loads of a high-traffic public environment without risk of breakage. |
| Shelf Glass | 5mm tempered glass | Shelves are load-bearing, so they are specified one millimetre thicker than the surrounding panels. 5mm tempered glass is the correct commercial grade for a shelf carrying product weight day after day. |
| Shelf System | 4 shelves on continuous rod track, infinite positions | Slide each shelf to any point and it holds firm. No drilling, no fixed increments. Remove all four for the full 1800mm column. Reconfigures without tools in minutes. |
| Shelf Capacity | 12kg per shelf | Practical for the full range of typical display items. Position heavier pieces on lower shelves to keep the centre of gravity low and the cabinet stable. |
| Additional Shelves | Glazier-cut to dimensions we supply | We provide the exact cutting dimensions. A local glazier produces the 5mm tempered panels. We supply additional rod supports. No specialist parts required beyond what a glazier can produce from our spec. Contact us after purchase. |
| LED Lighting | 10 x integrated spotlights, 6400K daylight | Ten spotlights permanently within the silver frame, covering every shelf level without shadow. 6400K daylight temperature means items read accurately with no colour cast. |
| Doors | Hinged double doors, full-width | Both doors open outward giving access across the entire cabinet width. Nothing slides, nothing blocks. Reliable at any access frequency. |
| Security | Key lock, 2 keys supplied | One key action secures both doors. Two keys included. Suitable for any environment where contents need to be protected from unsupervised access: retail, museums, education, public sector and private collector use. |
| Fire Standard | BS 5852:2006 Section 12 | The complete assembly, not individual components, was submitted for independent testing to this UK fire safety standard. Compliance is documented and verifiable rather than self-declared. If your procurement process requires evidence of fire compliance before an order can be placed, the certificate is available before you commit. |
| Certification | Download fire safety certificate | Available immediately. No request required. |
| Assembly | Required. Flat-packed with all fixings | All hardware and clear written instructions are included. Watch our step-by-step assembly video on YouTube before you start. Builds to a rigid, stable unit. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Displaysense the manufacturer of this cabinet?
A: Yes. Displaysense is the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of display cabinets. We are not a reseller. This silver model was developed by our own design team and we have been producing display cabinets in the UK since 1978.
Q: Why choose silver over black?
A: The two models are mechanically identical. Silver reflects and distributes ambient light, which suits white or pale walls, bright retail lighting, natural daylight and neutral interior finishes. Black creates visual contrast and suits darker or more dramatic interiors. If your space is light and the cabinet needs to sit within it, silver is usually the right call.
Q: What does 360-degree glass construction mean?
A: The cabinet has no opaque panels. Both side panels, the entire rear panel and both front doors are all 4mm toughened glass. For retail environments where customers approach from multiple directions, or gallery settings where sightlines matter from across the room, this is the construction that delivers full visibility from every angle.
Q: What are the dimensions and weight?
A: The cabinet measures 1800mm high x 1000mm wide x 400mm deep and weighs 70.64kg. These are the external frame dimensions. The usable interior display space is slightly smaller once the silver aluminium frame profiles are accounted for.
Q: How thick is the glass?
A: The door panels, side panels and rear panel are all 4mm toughened glass. The shelves are 5mm tempered glass, specified thicker because they carry load. Both specifications are commercial grade.
Q: How does the shelf system work?
A: A continuous rod track runs the full interior height of the cabinet. The four 5mm tempered glass shelves hang from this track and can be moved to any height at all. Slide a shelf to where you need it and it holds firm. There are no drilled holes, no fixed increment positions and no tools required for adjustment. Remove all four shelves entirely if you need the full 1800mm column for a single tall piece or an installation that standard fixed-shelf cabinets cannot accommodate.
Q: Can I add more shelves?
A: Yes. After purchase, contact us and we will provide the precise cutting dimensions for 5mm tempered glass panels. Take those to any local glazier and they can produce additional shelves that fit the cabinet exactly. We also supply the shelf support rods separately. No specialist components are needed beyond what a standard glazier can cut to our specification.
Q: What are the LED lights like and can they be removed?
A: Ten LED spotlights are built permanently into the silver aluminium frame and illuminate every shelf level from above and the sides. The colour temperature is 6400K daylight, which gives a crisp, neutral white light that shows the true colour and quality of displayed items with no yellow cast. The LEDs are a fixed feature of the cabinet and cannot be removed.
Q: How do the doors work and how is it locked?
A: Two hinged doors span the full width of the cabinet and open outward from opposite sides. When both are open, access to the entire interior is completely unobstructed. One key turns a central lock that secures both doors simultaneously. Two keys are included as standard.
Q: Is this cabinet stable? Does it need wall-fixing?
A: At 70.64kg on a heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame with a solid base construction, this cabinet stands confidently as a freestanding unit in busy commercial environments. Wall-fixing is not required, though it remains an option if your installation specification calls for it.
Q: What fire safety standard does this cabinet meet?
A: The complete assembled cabinet has been independently tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12, the UK fire safety standard for furniture in commercial and public use. Testing covers the full assembly, not individual components. The certificate is available to download directly from this page and can be forwarded to procurement or facilities teams immediately.
Q: Is this silver cabinet available in other sizes?
A: Yes. The silver range is available in 400mm, 600mm, 800mm, 1000mm and 1200mm widths, all at 1800mm height. Every size shares the same 360-degree glass construction, rod shelf system, 10-LED specification and BS 5852:2006 fire compliance. Use the width selector on this page to choose your size.
Q: How is the cabinet delivered?
A: At 70.64kg this is a heavy goods item. It travels on a pallet via a specialist courier with a tail lift, free to Zone 1 UK mainland addresses. This is a book-in service: after dispatch we contact you to agree a delivery day. A telephone number is required at checkout. Full zone information is in the Delivery tab.
Q: Does this cabinet require assembly?
A: Yes, assembly is required. The cabinet is delivered flat-packed with all fixings and clear written instructions included. We also have a full step-by-step assembly video. Watch it on YouTube before you start and the process is straightforward.
Q: Do you offer discounts for larger orders?
A: Yes. A 3% volume discount applies from 2 units. For larger project requirements, a multi-site rollout or a public sector tender, please contact our team or call 01279 460 460 for a tailored quote.

Description
Some display cabinets are built to be noticed. This one is built to show what is inside it. The Displaysense 1000mm silver glass display cabinet does its job by getting out of the way. A silver aluminium frame that catches light rather than competing with it. 360-degree toughened glass on every side, back and door, so nothing interrupts the view from any angle. 10 integrated 6400K daylight LED spotlights that render colour faithfully and eliminate shadow. Four 5mm tempered glass shelves that position anywhere and lock there. This is what a well-specified display cabinet looks like when the finish has been chosen as deliberately as everything else.
Silver is not a compromise finish. In the right environment it is the correct one. White-walled galleries, bright retail floors with neutral joinery, corporate reception areas with marble or pale stone, home display rooms with good natural light: in all of these the silver aluminium profile works with the room. It reflects and distributes light rather than absorbing it. The result is a cabinet that reads as part of the space, not imposed on it. For environments where a black cabinet would feel too heavy or too contrasting, silver is the answer.
The all-glass construction is not a styling decision. It is a functional one. Both side panels, the full rear panel and both front doors are 4mm toughened glass. Approach from the left, the right or straight on: the view is the same uninterrupted glass throughout. In environments where customers browse from multiple directions, or where display impact depends on a passing glance rather than a direct approach, this configuration is worth specifying deliberately.
Inside, the four 5mm tempered glass shelves run on a continuous rod track the full height of the cabinet. Slide any shelf to the position you need and it locks there. No predefined holes, no fixed increments. Clear them out entirely to work with the unbroken 1800mm column for tall items. Two hinged doors span the cabinet width and swing open completely. One key secures both. Ten daylight LEDs sit within the frame, positioned to push light to every level without shadow.
Displaysense has been designing and manufacturing display cabinets in the UK since 1978. We are not resellers and we do not white-label stock. This cabinet was specified, developed and tested by our own team. The heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame at 70.64kg is stable enough to stand without wall-fixing in a busy public environment. The glass throughout is independently tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12: the fire safety standard required for retail, hospitality, education and public sector use. The certificate is downloadable and can go straight to your procurement team.
The cabinet ships with four shelves. If you need more, we supply the exact 5mm tempered glass dimensions so a local glazier can cut additional panels to fit. Additional shelf support rods are also available from us after purchase. Contact us and we will send you everything you need.
Independent fire safety testing to BS 5852:2006 Section 12 covers the complete assembly. The full certificate is available to download here and can be shared with facilities, procurement or compliance teams without waiting for paperwork.

Specifications
The silver 1000mm cabinet carries an identical internal specification to the black model. The figures below are the same. What changes is the frame finish and the weight, which reflects the silver profile. Every dimension, glass thickness, LED count and fire standard applies equally to both.
At 1800mm tall with 360-degree glass and a 1000mm bay width, this is a cabinet that fills a wall properly. Four shelves give you five usable levels including the base. Pull them all out and you have a 1800mm tall fully glazed column of light: useful for sculptures, tall bottles, layered garment displays or any object that a fixed-shelf cabinet simply cannot accommodate.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Design & Origin | UK-designed and manufactured by Displaysense since 1978 | Own-design product from the manufacturer. No reseller, no intermediary. Every specification was made by our own team based on what commercial display environments require in practice. |
| Frame Finish | Silver aluminium | Reflects light in bright environments rather than absorbing it. The right finish for white walls, pale floors, gallery settings, contemporary reception areas and home display rooms with natural light. Pairs naturally with brushed steel, chrome and light timber. |
| Height | 1800mm (approx. 5ft 11in) | Full floor-to-near-ceiling presence. Visible from across a room and maximises vertical display capacity without the permanence or complexity of wall mounting. |
| Width | 1000mm | The widest single-bay option in the range. Genuine display capacity for multiple product lines, a large collection or a statement installation, while remaining practical for a retail corner or exhibition space. |
| Depth | 400mm | Accommodates layered product arrangements and standard display depths without encroaching on customer circulation or floor space behind the cabinet. |
| Weight | 70.64kg | Heavy enough to stand without anchoring in any public-facing environment. Light enough to reposition with two people when the layout needs to change. |
| Glass Construction | 360-degree: sides, back and doors all glazed | Unobstructed visibility from every angle. Cabinets with opaque backs or solid sides limit sightlines to one direction. This cabinet shows your display to anyone approaching from any point: essential for retail floors, exhibitions and open gallery layouts. |
| Door & Side Glass | 4mm toughened glass | Commercial specification throughout. Substantially stronger than domestic-grade glass and built to take the daily contact loads of a high-traffic public environment without risk of breakage. |
| Shelf Glass | 5mm tempered glass | Shelves are load-bearing, so they are specified one millimetre thicker than the surrounding panels. 5mm tempered glass is the correct commercial grade for a shelf carrying product weight day after day. |
| Shelf System | 4 shelves on continuous rod track, infinite positions | Slide each shelf to any point and it holds firm. No drilling, no fixed increments. Remove all four for the full 1800mm column. Reconfigures without tools in minutes. |
| Shelf Capacity | 12kg per shelf | Practical for the full range of typical display items. Position heavier pieces on lower shelves to keep the centre of gravity low and the cabinet stable. |
| Additional Shelves | Glazier-cut to dimensions we supply | We provide the exact cutting dimensions. A local glazier produces the 5mm tempered panels. We supply additional rod supports. No specialist parts required beyond what a glazier can produce from our spec. Contact us after purchase. |
| LED Lighting | 10 x integrated spotlights, 6400K daylight | Ten spotlights permanently within the silver frame, covering every shelf level without shadow. 6400K daylight temperature means items read accurately with no colour cast. |
| Doors | Hinged double doors, full-width | Both doors open outward giving access across the entire cabinet width. Nothing slides, nothing blocks. Reliable at any access frequency. |
| Security | Key lock, 2 keys supplied | One key action secures both doors. Two keys included. Suitable for any environment where contents need to be protected from unsupervised access: retail, museums, education, public sector and private collector use. |
| Fire Standard | BS 5852:2006 Section 12 | The complete assembly, not individual components, was submitted for independent testing to this UK fire safety standard. Compliance is documented and verifiable rather than self-declared. If your procurement process requires evidence of fire compliance before an order can be placed, the certificate is available before you commit. |
| Certification | Download fire safety certificate | Available immediately. No request required. |
| Assembly | Required. Flat-packed with all fixings | All hardware and clear written instructions are included. Watch our step-by-step assembly video on YouTube before you start. Builds to a rigid, stable unit. |

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Displaysense the manufacturer of this cabinet?
A: Yes. Displaysense is the UK's largest manufacturer and supplier of display cabinets. We are not a reseller. This silver model was developed by our own design team and we have been producing display cabinets in the UK since 1978.
Q: Why choose silver over black?
A: The two models are mechanically identical. Silver reflects and distributes ambient light, which suits white or pale walls, bright retail lighting, natural daylight and neutral interior finishes. Black creates visual contrast and suits darker or more dramatic interiors. If your space is light and the cabinet needs to sit within it, silver is usually the right call.
Q: What does 360-degree glass construction mean?
A: The cabinet has no opaque panels. Both side panels, the entire rear panel and both front doors are all 4mm toughened glass. For retail environments where customers approach from multiple directions, or gallery settings where sightlines matter from across the room, this is the construction that delivers full visibility from every angle.
Q: What are the dimensions and weight?
A: The cabinet measures 1800mm high x 1000mm wide x 400mm deep and weighs 70.64kg. These are the external frame dimensions. The usable interior display space is slightly smaller once the silver aluminium frame profiles are accounted for.
Q: How thick is the glass?
A: The door panels, side panels and rear panel are all 4mm toughened glass. The shelves are 5mm tempered glass, specified thicker because they carry load. Both specifications are commercial grade.
Q: How does the shelf system work?
A: A continuous rod track runs the full interior height of the cabinet. The four 5mm tempered glass shelves hang from this track and can be moved to any height at all. Slide a shelf to where you need it and it holds firm. There are no drilled holes, no fixed increment positions and no tools required for adjustment. Remove all four shelves entirely if you need the full 1800mm column for a single tall piece or an installation that standard fixed-shelf cabinets cannot accommodate.
Q: Can I add more shelves?
A: Yes. After purchase, contact us and we will provide the precise cutting dimensions for 5mm tempered glass panels. Take those to any local glazier and they can produce additional shelves that fit the cabinet exactly. We also supply the shelf support rods separately. No specialist components are needed beyond what a standard glazier can cut to our specification.
Q: What are the LED lights like and can they be removed?
A: Ten LED spotlights are built permanently into the silver aluminium frame and illuminate every shelf level from above and the sides. The colour temperature is 6400K daylight, which gives a crisp, neutral white light that shows the true colour and quality of displayed items with no yellow cast. The LEDs are a fixed feature of the cabinet and cannot be removed.
Q: How do the doors work and how is it locked?
A: Two hinged doors span the full width of the cabinet and open outward from opposite sides. When both are open, access to the entire interior is completely unobstructed. One key turns a central lock that secures both doors simultaneously. Two keys are included as standard.
Q: Is this cabinet stable? Does it need wall-fixing?
A: At 70.64kg on a heavy-gauge silver aluminium frame with a solid base construction, this cabinet stands confidently as a freestanding unit in busy commercial environments. Wall-fixing is not required, though it remains an option if your installation specification calls for it.
Q: What fire safety standard does this cabinet meet?
A: The complete assembled cabinet has been independently tested to BS 5852:2006 Section 12, the UK fire safety standard for furniture in commercial and public use. Testing covers the full assembly, not individual components. The certificate is available to download directly from this page and can be forwarded to procurement or facilities teams immediately.
Q: Is this silver cabinet available in other sizes?
A: Yes. The silver range is available in 400mm, 600mm, 800mm, 1000mm and 1200mm widths, all at 1800mm height. Every size shares the same 360-degree glass construction, rod shelf system, 10-LED specification and BS 5852:2006 fire compliance. Use the width selector on this page to choose your size.
Q: How is the cabinet delivered?
A: At 70.64kg this is a heavy goods item. It travels on a pallet via a specialist courier with a tail lift, free to Zone 1 UK mainland addresses. This is a book-in service: after dispatch we contact you to agree a delivery day. A telephone number is required at checkout. Full zone information is in the Delivery tab.
Q: Does this cabinet require assembly?
A: Yes, assembly is required. The cabinet is delivered flat-packed with all fixings and clear written instructions included. We also have a full step-by-step assembly video. Watch it on YouTube before you start and the process is straightforward.
Q: Do you offer discounts for larger orders?
A: Yes. A 3% volume discount applies from 2 units. For larger project requirements, a multi-site rollout or a public sector tender, please contact our team or call 01279 460 460 for a tailored quote.
