The Black Half Vision Showcase combines a glass top and a single upper glass shelf with a solid lower front panel — giving your counter both a display zone and a closed lower section in one retail fixture. It measures 48 inches wide, 18 inches deep, and 38 inches tall. Satin aluminum frame. Black melamine finish. LED lighting, locks, mirror doors, and professional assembly available as add-ons. Ships knocked down.
What Half Vision Means on a Display Counter
A full vision showcase uses glass on every face. A Black Half Vision Showcase uses glass on the top and upper front section — and a solid melamine panel on the lower front. Customers see merchandise through the glass top surface and the upper glass zone. The lower section stays closed. This gives the counter a cleaner, more structured look than a fully open glass case. It also separates what the customer sees — the displayed merchandise above — from what stays behind the counter below.
Single Glass Shelf in This Half Vision Showcase
This 48-inch half vision showcase includes one row of adjustable 1/4-inch tempered glass shelves in the upper display zone. The shelf sits on steel interior standards and adjusts to different heights. Small merchandise sits on the glass shelf at mid-case height for direct customer visibility. Larger or featured items sit on the glass top surface. All glass in this showcase meets ASTM C1036 tempered safety glass standards. The satin anodized aluminum frame holds the glass panels in a clean commercial profile across the full 48-inch width.
Solid Lower Panel on the 48-Inch Half Vision Case
The solid lower front panel closes off the bottom section of the showcase. This section sits behind the melamine panel and out of direct customer view. Retailers use it for receipt rolls, paper bags, pricing supplies, and other back-counter essentials. The closed lower section keeps the counter organized without adding extra storage furniture. It also gives the showcase a more solid, substantial appearance compared to a fully glass case — the lower melamine matches the base finish across the entire black counter lineup.
When to Choose Half Vision Over Full Vision
The full vision showcase puts every shelf level in direct customer view from floor to glass top. The Black Half Vision Showcase focuses that visibility on the upper zone. Choose the half vision case when merchandise is displayed on the glass top and one shelf — not across two stacked shelf rows. Boutiques with a curated product selection use the half vision case to keep the display focused. Stores that need the lower section for storage use it to keep back-counter supplies out of sight. The half vision case is also the more economical choice when full glass-front coverage is not the primary need.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between half vision and full vision showcases?
A full vision showcase uses glass on all sides — front, top, and sides — so customers see every shelf from any angle. A half vision showcase has a glass top and one upper glass shelf, but the lower front is a solid melamine panel. Half vision cases focus display visibility on the upper zone and close off the lower section.
How many shelves does the Black Half Vision Showcase include?
One row of adjustable 1/4-inch tempered glass shelves in the upper display zone. The shelf adjusts to different heights along the steel interior standards. The glass top surface provides an additional flat display area above the case.
What is the solid lower panel used for?
The solid lower panel closes off the bottom section from direct customer view. Retailers use this space for receipt tape, paper bags, pricing supplies, and other back-counter essentials. It keeps the working area organized and out of sight without requiring separate storage furniture.
Can I mix the half vision case with full vision cases?
Yes. Both the half vision and full vision cases share the same 48-inch width, 38-inch counter height, and black melamine finish. They connect side by side in a continuous counter run. The satin aluminum frame profile is consistent across both types.
Does this showcase come with a lock?
The standard configuration ships without a lock. A lock with keys is available as an add-on at checkout. A lock is recommended for stores displaying jewelry, accessories, or any high-value merchandise behind the sliding doors.
