The first and fundamental contact between the goods on sale and the possible buyers, glass windows are an essential element for any shop. In charge of the important task of protecting and displaying the products on sale, glass windows are the first and most lasting form of publicity for the goods offered. Their construction and composition is in fact studied down to the smallest detail from many different aspects, without leaving anything to chance: in displaying the products on sale, colours and shapes are harmonised and often themed artistic compositions are created which vary on the basis of public festivities, celebrations and the time of year.
Often, in addition, in order to give more visibility to the goods on display, some retailers decide to keep the windows lit even at night, during public holidays and in general while the shop is closed. However, while it is important to ensure that passers-by are able to admire the contents of the windows at any time, it is equally important to ensure the security of the goods displayed and the safety of shopkeepers against any attempts at robbery, breakages or acts of vandalism.
For this reason, Vetreria Re offers to its shopkeepers various solutions for the creation of shop windows for their businesses, in order to satisfy the most disparate aesthetical requirements without, however, neglecting security. Operating since 1989 in the design, creation and installation of architectural elements in structural and artistic glass in the commercial, domestic, industrial and professional areas, Vetreria Re produces windows for shops able to satisfy high standards in relation to safety and security. Created with special accident-prevention, anti-vandalism, shatterproof, acoustic, anti-intrusion and bulletproof glass, the shop windows proposed by Vetreria Re lend themselves well to broad margins of customisation from the technical and aesthetic perspective.
The safety glass used to create shop windows can in fact be decorated to taste in order to obtain different effects: from the sophisticated frosting effect obtained by sand-blasting, to the creation of special decorations with gold leaf, etching, glazing and painting, shop windows can be made-to-measure and customised in order to give greater visibility to the shop. The choice of particular aesthetics to create shop windows varies also on the basis of the type of goods sold by the shop and will allow the shop to stand out, attracting customers.
From the perspective of the technical and structural properties of the glass used, shop windows can instead be created with insulating glass, with solar control reflective glass, with magnetron glass, with double glazing or thermal glass in order to maximise the thermal insulation of interiors, thus reducing the need to heat or cool the environments. Those accessory characteristics could be particularly useful to create windows for businesses and public premises such as bars, restaurants, cafes and so on. Finally, shop windows can be created with acoustic glass, a particularly important feature for all those businesses where it is important to create optimal acoustics, blocking noise from traffic and from the road.
Essential for all shop windows is safety and security, as they must protect against any malicious attacks and any accidental breakages which could pose a threat to the safety of customers and workers. Safety is strictly regulated by existing regulations (for further details please see the text dedicated to accident-prevention glass) and is aimed at ensuring protection from danger of harm in the event of accidental breakage of the glass.
Perfect for creating windows for shops, ice-cream parlours, public bars, banks, and professional studios, safety glass is able to protect against acts of vandalism, breaking and entering attempts, breakages and theft, with safety characteristics that can be maximised based upon the need to ensure the protection of people and the goods on display.
