Frank Showcase System is available in glass, acrylic or other materials. All materials are connected using the same connecting profiles. As a result different materials can be combined with another. All components, such as aluminium ceiling and floor frames (with adjustable feet), floor and side panels, are manufactured to a high standard and give the showcase a high-quality appearance. The prefabricated Frank showcase is delivered disassembled and well packed. It can be assembled/disassembled in a few simple steps by only one person. Detailed assembly instructions are included.

Uniquely Engineered Components FRANK Showcases are feasible in many possibilities. Our showcases are uniquly customizable. Materials: Glass panels can be made of float, laminated, low iron, high security or non-reflective glass etc. Acryl panels can be made of clear, colored, satiniced, opaque acrylic etc. The Panels are connected one by one with anodized aluminum profiles. These 8x8mm profiles come cut in parts and are simply inserted from above. The discreet lines express the lightness of the construction and convinced many directors/curators with its maximum transparency. The semi-modular concept allows the replacement of all construction elements used and offers a maximum of flexibility, durability and cost-benefit ratio. Neither silicone nor glue is needed. No visible lock or hinges disturb the optics.

The economic concept for professional users
The innovative design of the Alpha Showcase is based on the patented FRANK connection technology.
This makes gluing and screwing superfluous. The essential detail is the barely noticeable aluminium profile
strips, which are precisely inserted into the patented edge profiling of the panels. Sealing materials,
such as silicone etc. are not necessary. This facilitates assembly and ensures a long life without maintenance.

Acrylic Showcases with Frank System
Profiler Technology
Frank invented the first (really) demountable showcase in 2001. All started with the acrylic version.
The Frank Showcase System consists of a unique plug-in technology that makes screws and seals obsolete.
Nowadays more than 500 museums worldwide use our patented showcase systems.
Frank has deserved the label: #1 demountable showcase, due to the high specs of the cases,
which are also easy to mount and to maintain.
