Top 10 Innovative Glass Displays and Fixtures for Retail Spaces

If you design retail spaces here in the GTA area, you know curb appeal matters. Whether you’re building a new shopfront or redesigning an older space, every architectural element should draw attention and boost sales. Your glass windows, doors, and entryway provide the first impressions, but once inside, glass display cases, shelving, railings, and other glass elements need to show off your wares in a positive, irresistible light. For 35+ years, AMG Mirror and Glass in Ontario has provided superior craftsmanship in innovative, bespoke glass retail elements for retailers looking to stand above their competition.

Today, we’d like to share our top 10 list of glass displays and fixtures for retail properties, and what to look for if you are an architect, designer, or contractor in charge of building or upgrading any retail environment to the next level.

The 10 Best Glass Fixtures and Shelving for Retail Spaces

Great glass fixtures enhance retail environments by upgrading the aesthetic from ordinary to sparkling. Glass can reflect and accentuate artificial and natural light in creative ways that enhance product visibility and upgrade the entire retail space.

Whether it’s a decorative piece in the facade or a pane in a door or window to portray an elegant or contemporary look, glass is versatile enough that it can complement various design styles and stylish enough that it will certainly stand out when done right.

Another great option is to place mirrors on the walls behind your premium products. When your customer inspects and touches the item, they’ll see themselves framed with the product, which makes a big difference.

1. Glass Shelving Systems

AMG has created custom-cut glass retail shelving systems for decades. By using sturdy tempered glass, you can securely display products in ways that allow light to bounce and reflect off the product to enhance visibility and aesthetic appeal.

2. Glass Display Cases

Elegant glass display cases are a sure way to attract customers’ attention to your wares. AMG can also craft superior strength and security-minded laminated glass display cases that add an extra layer of protection against break-ins and product loss.

3. Custom Glass Retail Countertops

Glass countertops shine above the ordinary in a retail environment. AMG’s custom-designed tempered or laminated glass gives you multiple options for a bespoke look for your retail counter. Custom color, thickness, cut, and security are all available.

4. Glass Railings

If your retail space has more than one level, consider glass railings as a way to create a clean, open, minimalist vibe for your shop. They allow more light to filter through more areas of the retail space while also being safe for customers and employees going up and down the stairs.

5. Glass Doors and Entrances

Retail glass doors and entryways are the first thing your customers see when they come in. AMG’s custom glass retail doors are extra secure with laminated glass, which also dampens street noise and provides UV protection to prevent your displays from fading in the sun.

6. Mirrored Walls

AMG Mirror and Glass creates custom retail mirrored wall installations that provide a truly spectacular touch to retail spaces. Full mirrored walls are a great way to reflect light and visually expand smaller spaces so they look bigger.

7. Backlit Glass Features

AMG can work LED lighting right into the design of our custom glass panels, shelving, display cases, and mirrors for retail spaces. Working with LED lights inside glass display panels creates a vivid, luminous visual impact for any product display.

8. Glass Storefronts

A glass storefront must do double duty: it needs to be luminously clear, but also secure and strong. Fortunately, AMG has expertise in creating both inviting and strong laminated glass storefronts that are significantly more shatter-resistant than other options. At the same time, they showcase your store beautifully.

9. Custom Glass Art Installations

From custom glass tiles to custom glass art displays, we can also create unique glass art pieces and decorative accents that draw eyes and customers into your store.

10. Frameless Glass Partitions

If you need to partition your retail space, elegant, sleek, modern glass partitions can do the trick without obscuring the path of light or eyesight. Glass partitions are also a helpful safety measure for your business.
