Radian cases
have a conceptual dynamic all of their own; structures,
exhibits and stories flow together emphasizing their
continuity and connection.
The Radian design solution allows curved glass
panels to be connected together in a variety of
configurations, allowing full circles, arcs and free
flowing curves to be formed utilizing the inherent
structural capacity of a curved plane for rigidity. A
curved corner case can be ideal to maximize the use of
what could otherwise be dead space. With the option of
glass tops or light hoods, cases can be created as full
height costume cases or mounted on plinths, shelves or
walls.
Type of
exhibits
Radian cases can be used most effectively to
display small to large exhibits which are inherently
suitable for curved cases due to their shape or where
the cases add to the context of the exhibit narrative.
They have previously been used for sports trophies,
costume, hats, globes, ship models, sculpture and
architectural models.
Lighting
A top light hood allows a comprehensive variety
of lighting solutions to be provided with lighting also
possible from the bottom and sides of cases. By careful
use of lighting and color finishes reflections can be
minimized.
Shelving
The Radian design solutions allow shelving to be
incorporated, usually from a hanging rod system with
rods mounted to the top channel or we can incorporate
cantilever shelving systems within Radian cases with
structural panels.
Access
Radian cases are generally provided with hinged
doors designed to be opened effortlessly by one person.
Cases are structurally stable when open and, in most
circumstances, there is no need for additional support
mechanisms.
Protecting the
exhibits
Conservation - The Radian design solution
provides a high level of dust sealing and, with careful
selection of baseboard and structural materials, it is
suitable for most exhibits to be displayed.
Security - With the Radian design solution, the glass is
the key factor in the level of security and anti-bandit
specifications are available. With hinged doors, hinges
are fully concealed and cases can be provided with a two
stage locking system, using a mechanical lock and a high
security Abloy™ CL291 lock, providing a high level of
security and a wide range of keying options. Alarm
sensors are easily concealed within the case structure |
