Glazed Display Top
In a steel frame
The glass sits in a channel in the frame rather than being surface fixed. A panel can be replaced without dismantling the island, which on a fixture standing in open floor is not theoretical.
Glazed display top · lockable base · 1000 mm module
A promotional island with a glazed top, for promoting things that cannot sit in an open cubby — high value lines, small items and anything that walks.
Studio angles on white. The glazed top, the frame, the base cupboard and the corner are photographed below.
Open promotional tables work for cases of water and boxes of biscuits. They do not work for spirits, electronics, cosmetics or anything small and expensive, because an open square in the middle of a floor is the easiest thing in a store to take from. This island glazes the display top so high value lines can be promoted in open floor at all.
Under the glass the base is pale timber with cupboards, which take the back stock and can be locked. It is built from the same recorded 1000 × 1000 × 800 mm square as the open tables, so a glazed island tiles into a run of open ones without breaking the module.

Glazing a promotional island is what makes it different, so two of these four are the glass and its frame.
In a steel frame
The glass sits in a channel in the frame rather than being surface fixed. A panel can be replaced without dismantling the island, which on a fixture standing in open floor is not theoretical.
Welded, coated after
A welded frame carries the glass on all four sides. On a mid-floor island every edge is leaned on from somewhere, and the frame rather than the glass is what takes that.
Back stock, lockable
The base holds the back stock and can be locked. Promoting a high value line with the reserve stock in an open cubby underneath defeats the point of glazing the top.
Glass, steel, board
Glass, steel and board all meet at this corner. All three come off the same site in Changshu, which is why they arrive in one matched finish rather than needing a fix on site.
Every item on this page is made to order. Send a floor plan, a hand sketch or a photograph of a fixture you like, and we quote against it.
Store fixtures are light for their size, so a container fills up on volume long before it fills up on weight. What decides your freight is not what one unit weighs — it is what shape the goods are in when they go through the container door. Everything we build leaves in one of three shapes.
Shelving bays, produce islands and bulk cabinets travel as panels — uprights, shelves, back panels and plinths, strapped flat with bubble wrap on every component. They are built up on the shop floor, so the packing list and the assembly drawings travel with the goods.
This model
Trolleys slide into one another and baskets stack. Past the first unit, each extra one adds only its nesting pitch instead of its full length, so the shipped volume ends up a fraction of what the unit count suggests.
A checkout lane is welded, coated and fitted out as one piece, so it is crated whole with padding on the steel. Nothing waits to be assembled at the store beyond levelling it into the lane, and the crate is the counter plus a margin.
Promotional stands flat pack as panels and shelves. Two promotion tables are on record and both are exactly 1000 × 1000 × 800 mm — KS-T-02 and KS-T-06 — which is not a coincidence: a 1000 mm square is the module that tiles into a 2000 mm run or a block of four without leaving a gap. That square is what a loading plan is worked from.
A promotion square is never the whole story — it is the punctuation between the fixtures that hold the range.
A promotion square almost always terminates a shelving run, so the two carry one colour reference.
See shelving baysLoose lines are promoted constantly, and a square at the aisle head is the cheapest way to push one.
See bulk food binsThe queue side of a lane is the highest impulse position in the store, and a promotion square is what fills it.
See checkout countersHow many of each a store needs is a floor area question rather than a product question, and it is answered store by store on the supermarket layout design page.
Tell us what you are promoting. If it walks, this is the island.
Tell us what you intend to promote on it and whether the base needs to lock. High value lines change both the glazing and the locking specification.
The four that come up on nearly every enquiry for this build. If yours is not here, send it with your layout and it is answered alongside the quotation.
The base cupboards can be locked, and the glazed top can be specified with a lock where the category needs it. Tell us what is going on it and the locking specification comes back with the drawing.
Glazing specification is set per order against where the island stands and what store it is in. A mid-floor island in a busy supermarket is not glazed the same way as one in a quiet speciality shop.
Yes — it is the same 1000 × 1000 × 800 mm square. A glazed island in a run of open ones is a common arrangement, with the high value line in the middle where staff can see it.
Access is set by where staff stand, and on a mid-floor island that is worth thinking about carefully. Tell us the staff position and it is drawn to suit rather than assumed.
