Darac Conservation Showcases are designed and constructed to meet National Museum of Ireland and British Museum standards

The Display Plinth is powder coated metal or aluminium to match the case colour. An option to dress with Création Baumann fabric or Darac Museum Cotton fabric.

Note: MDF is Not used in Darac Conservation Showcases, this eliminates the need for Moistop or similar and any possible off gassing from MDF. Thereby achieving the highest level of conservation as well giving greater environmental sustainability.

They are constructed using Conservation approved (Oddy Tested) pollution free materials. The metal case construction uses both concealed hinges and locks (Abloy), with gas assist lift struts and Silicone Gasket Seals. 

All cases have either passive humidity control with a desiccant tray for Pro/Art Sorb or Active humidity control, with mechanical system. These can have an alarm system contacts fitted as an optional extra. All cases have adjustable levelling feet, with an option for castors for easier manoeuvring and cleaning on some models.

Table Style Conservation Display Case

This style of display case allows for easy access to the display, with a shallow canopy for smaller displays. The four individual legs mean this style of case is lighter, as well as affording access to wheelchair users. They are popular for areas which are more minimalist in aesthetic.

Open Base Conservation Display Case

Designed to be both practical and aesthetically pleasing, the Open base gives greater access for wheelchair users, while providing a stable base to accommodate a medium height canopy.

Full Base Conservation Display Case

These showcases are popular to create solid divisions within exhibition areas, or for cases that are housed adjacent to walls. The enclosed base can accommodate a deeper canopy and provide under storage. An option of hidden castors makes these cases more manoeuvrable despite their size and weight.

Tall Mannequin/Shelved Conservation Display Case

These cases can come with or without shelves, offering a degree of flexibility. Generally used to showcase textiles when supplied without shelving, or taller items. When supplied with the adjustable height glass shelves, they appear to “float” on discreet suspension wires giving impressive visibility and a multi-level display.

Wall Mounted Conservation Display Case

Wall mounted showcases offer all the security of a traditional display case, but fixed at 90° angle on a solid wall. These have been used to show ephemera, sports memorabilia, books, wooden carvings, and religious artefacts, even an Emu Egg Clock.
