If you own a bar, restaurant, specialised shop (delicatessens, butchers, greengrocers, pâtisseries and bakeries) or supermarket, it is essential to equip yourself with the right professional equipment to preserve and display your products in the best possible way. The refrigerated display cases will be a key piece for the good functioning of the premises.
Their main function is to present and highlight fresh and processed food, creating an attractive display for customers. For this reason, we offer you some advice to take into account when choosing your refrigerated display unit.
- Depending on the material
There are various types of materials that are used in the manufacture of display cases, although the most popular choices tend to be glass, acrylic and plexiglass.
Our recommendation leans towards glass display cases, as they offer clear visibility of food to customers. In particular, tempered glass is a highly recommended material due to its durability and versatility.
- Depending on size
Size is a crucial factor when choosing a refrigerated display cabinet, as it is important to ensure that it can hold everything we need without taking up excessive space.
If your business focuses on the presentation of products with a short shelf life and high turnover, a smaller bench-top display case may be the most suitable option, as it will allow you to save space and reduce energy costs.
However, if your establishment offers a wide variety of products, such as different cuts of meat or cheese, prepared foods, desserts and/or fresh pastries, you may need a larger refrigerated countertop showcase to accommodate all items properly.
- Depending on the shelving and lighting
The choice of shelving will depend on the amount and variety of products you wish to display. For example, sandwich displays usually have a single shelf, while a salad countertop showcase may have multiple shelves to showcase all the options available.
In terms of lighting, many refrigerated display cases incorporate interior lights to highlight the colours and enhance the appearance of certain types of food products, such as pastries or red meat. These lights may be located at the top of the display case or even integrated into the shelves themselves.
- Depending on the style
Refrigerated coutertop showcases are available in various styles, with straight and curved models being the most common.
Curved cabinets maximise the display area and allow different items to be displayed on a single shelf. The straight ones, on the other hand, offer a clear display of all available items and make the best use of the available space.
Among the wide variety of display products we offer, we highlight our new models of refrigerated display cabinets, the RC 120SQ and the RC 160 SQ.
New models with curved lines, give a modern and sophisticated touch to your establishment.
The display cases have four double-glazed panels to reduce condensation and are fitted with LED lights.
We hope these tips have helped you to make a decision when it comes to choosing the most suitable refrigerated display case for your business.
