Unique benefits of Specialty Polycarbonate for Retail Displays

When it comes to jewellery and high-value retail displays, security and presentation are equally important. Traditional glass has been the go-to material for decades, but it comes with significant drawbacks—it’s fragile, heavy, and poses a safety risk when broken. Specialty Polycarbonate – Optical Grade is a smarter, more durable alternative that offers superior protection without compromising visibility.

Why Choose Specialty Polycarbonate Over Glass?

1. Unmatched Strength
   Specialty Polycarbonate is virtually unbreakable, with an impact resistance 200 times stronger than glass. This makes it a reliable barrier against “smash and grab” thefts, ensuring your valuable inventory remains protected.
2. Crystal-Clear Visibility
   Unlike some security materials that distort or reduce clarity, Specialty Polycarbonate maintains high optical quality. Jewellery and gemstones remain perfectly visible, allowing customers to appreciate their brilliance without interference.
3. Lightweight and Easy to Handle
   Glass is heavy and fragile, making installation and maintenance a challenge. Specialty Polycarbonate is lightweight and easier to work with, reducing installation time and costs while improving overall safety.
4. Easy to Fabricate
   Specialty Polycarbonate can be cut, drilled, and fabricated using standard tools, making it ideal for custom showcase designs. Whether you’re upgrading existing cabinets or installing new displays, it integrates seamlessly into your setup.
5. UV Protection
   Jewellery and precious items can fade or discolor over time due to UV exposure. Specialty Polycarbonate blocks harmful UV rays, helping to preserve the beauty and value of your stock.
6. Australian Standards Compliance
   Meeting Australian Safety Glass Standards AS2080:2019, this material ensures both security and regulatory compliance, giving retailers peace of mind.

The Smart Choice for Retailers

Switching from glass to Specialty Polycarbonate provides retailers with a safer, more durable, and cost-effective display solution. Whether you run a jewellery store, watch boutique, or any high-end retail business, protecting your assets while maintaining an elegant display is essential.
