Retail and Trade Counters can be designed and manufactured to suit virtually any application or budget, basically if you can think of it we can probably make it!
Since 1983 we have been helping customers to design, supply and install retail counters and trade counters across the UK.
We have also designed display cases made from all glass or a mix of timber and glass, till counters, display units, special boxes to conceal pipes or meters and end display panels for shop shelving or to walls and partitioning runs.
Just send us a rough sketch and some maximum sizes and we will come up with some suggestions to suit your budget (as long as you confirm the budget first that is as it will prevent us getting carried away with the possibilities).
This is a timber trade counter with solid colour laminate front, oversize beech veneer top counter, heavy load lower loading cut out with rubber mat for sound deadening, shelving behind the counter with sliding lockable doors. The whole trade counter was manufactured in two pieces with an adjustable end infill to allow for fitting between existing walls and a mezzanine column.
Behind the trade counter is a beech veneer and glass sliding door product display case with built in display lighting and solid locking door cupboards below. This wooden display unit also had glass backs so that the people working behind it could see if there is anyone in the showroom area and was built into a stud partition wall to provide separation and sound reduction between the two working areas (we also installed the suspended ceilings, a mezzanine floor, fire rating and loads more partitioning).
Timber trade counter come reception desk with solid colour laminate, vinyl graphics and aluminium checker plate front projection to match the corporate identity, overlaid on an oak veneered carcass. Manufactured in four pieces to achieve an angled layout (luckily the trade counter area doors were double doors so it fitted through them), with a split level work surface for standing or sitting and open shelves behind the counter for storage of documents, literature etc. To the left is an open fronted display case with glass shelves, integral lighting and a lockable cupboard below.
This trade and retail showroom was totally fitted out by ESE including the suspended ceilings, partitioning, longspan and euro shelving, shop shelving and the slatwall panels on the walls. There are two counters in this building. The ‘island’ counter (left) has two special formed quarter circle ends with solid beech veneered returns, the rest of the counter has a ‘half depth’ glass display front which is accessed from the rear to prevent pilfering. The rear of the counter has locking doors and there are concealed shelves behind the display area.
The second counter (right) is for the accounts department and has a raised beech front to conceal the cash register, the same glass display front and a single quarter circle leading onto a similar solid front counter with a pedestrian double swing access door and lift up work surface flap. Since this initial large project we have built several more counters, fitted furniture for their office and tonnes of shelving and partitioning and they are one of the nicest companies I have ever come across in thirty years of working at ESE.
This is a modular counter made up of four equal size units. Three are glass fronted counters with full depth display cases, sliding doors and shelving to the rear and integrated lighting in the front display unit. The fourth is a solid front counter with open shelves to the rear for paperwork and products that are not required to be on public display. All counters are connected together by a radius corner, a radius end infill and a lift up pedestrian flap with double swing door below. This layout has been moved / improved several times over the years because it is modular and the sections can be easily relocated.
This is a special television display cabinet designed for a video shop to preview a number of films at once from. Below the TV housings is a lockable cupboard which houses the Bluray / DVD players. Also in this picture are the purpose made decorative end panels designed to conceal the ends of the AMX shop shelving we also installed and out of view are shop counters with glass display cases to the front, a glass top and lockable rear doors, a solid till counter and a lockable four sided tall glass display case with integrated lighting to house some of the most valuable autographed memorabilia also sold by this shop.
A straight forward small oak veneered counter with solid blue laminate top, full depth glass display case to the front, pedestrian single swing door and lift up flap, plus a ‘make up’ solid end infill to make the counter fit between the building walls. We also supplied and fitted the office furniture, shelving, suspended ceilings, glass partitioning, decorated the walls and even laid the carpet tiles.
If you are in need of shelving for your trade area, showroom or shop we also sell the AMX shop shelving and most other makes of shelving so please give us a call.
