Under a bell jar

Beautiful, fragile heritage objects that you still want to look at are often best displayed in a safe climate. The quality of an object remains better if it does not need to be handled or cleaned. We therefore supply custom-made cloches that protect your objects against UV radiation and dirt. A beautiful bell jar provides protection and gives presence to your piece.

If the climate in a room is not suitable for your object, we can place it in a suitable micro-climate for you. Risks of chemical, mechanical and biological damage can be easily prevented or reduced by means of a bell jar or display case. A bell jar protects objects against dirt and harmful substances in the air; silver objects stay shiny longer.

When to consider a microclimate show case?

Organic materials respond to the climate; these materials try to form a balance with their environment. For example, wood expands in a humid climate and contracts in a dry air. When the bandwidth of the relative humidity is larger or smaller than the material or construction of an object allows, breaks and cracks can occur. A bell jar with a microclimate can be the solution for an unsuitable object climate and prevent damage.

We supply cases for various functionality and quality. Together with you, we look at which properties your bell jar must meet for your specific situation.

 

Acrylic Show Cases

We offer museum quality show cases, made of acrylic: polymethyl methacrylate. Acrylic is a plastic that is optically pure and colourfast. It allows more light to pass through than glass, so that objects are clearly visible and colors come to life. The material is antistatic and dust resistant. A practical material property of acrylic is that it is UV-resistant. We also supply this material with an anti-reflective coating.

 

Museum acrylic material properties:

   ⊙ anti-reflective, reflection 8% - 0.5%

   ⊙ light transmittance 85% – 99%

   ⊙ UV-resistant: 99 - 100%

   ⊙ antistatic

   ⊙ versatile processing options

   ⊙ good optical properties

   ⊙ colorless

   ⊙ no shattering

   ⊙ impact resistant

   ⊙ inert

Glass domes

The glass domes that we offer are in principle made of 99% UV-resistant, anti-reflective museum glass, behind which objects are displayed in a very tangible way.  

Material properties of our museum glass:

   ⊙ anti-reflective, reflection: 8% - 0.5%

   ⊙ light transmittance: 92 - 99%

   ⊙ UV-resistant: 98% - 99%

   ⊙ hard material, not scratch sensitive

   ⊙ not impact resistant, it can break

   ⊙ it is made at right angles

   ⊙ inert

Because a show case is made especially for you, it is possible to use any type of glass to fit your interior,

We also supply impact-resistant museum glass and mirrors on request.
