Fixtures: A Look at Store Fixture Parts## 

Although the parts of a store fixture are not visible to the naked eye, there are seven major parts that make up any store fixture. These include a bracket, shelving stock, shelf topper or end cap, spine board and shelves, laminate backboard and shelves, countertop and risers. By looking into these different components of a store fixture you can gain an understanding on how they work and what will be best for your specific commercial retail project.

When shopping for a store fixture you should always be aware of the size that you require. This is important because if the amount of space that your store has is less than what a particular store fixture can provide you may not find the style to be effective in your space. At the same time, it is also important to think about the style of your project and how it will fit within the overall decor of your store. A store fixture that does not complement your store will not add value to it.

Each part of a store fixture is made from two basic types of materials: wood or plastic. There are actually several different choices when choosing the material for each product, such as  exterior grade softwood or real solid hardwood, laminate or glass, and aluminum or plastic. In general, laminate is more affordable than real solid hardwood and is a great choice for exterior projects because it remains lightweight when installed over a standard concrete floor or on wood decking. However, laminate is prone to damage and will not withstand the elements like real solid hardwood.

In addition to the material that the store fixture is made from, the design of each product can also change how much it costs. For instance, shelving components are usually made from aluminum but may be made from wood or plastic. Similarly, countertop options are also available in a wide variety of materials such as stainless steel and concrete or marble. When selecting a store fixture for your project keep in mind that pricing on everything can vary greatly depending on the location, quantity and material of each component.

When purchasing a store fixture for commercial retail projects it is important that you purchase only those parts of the fixture that you actually need. For instance, many fixtures include pre-built shelving elements that can take away from the overall design. In addition, many store fixtures come with accessories such as trash receptacles and floor mats that may not be necessary for your project. This is because you may already have these items in place or do not want them for your store. Therefore, when getting quotes on store fixtures make sure that you can discuss options with your supplier so that you know everything will be provided at an affordable rate.

The core of a store fixture is the supporting structure that is built into the bottom panel of a fixture to provide extra support to its shelves and countertop surfaces above. This part of the store fixture is usually made from aluminum or steel and can be manufactured in a number of shapes. The core is attached to the back panels of a store fixture via several screws and the front panels are attached to the core via welding, gluing or mechanical fasteners. A store fixture with a solid back panel provides more support than one without. In addition, many store fixtures also include anti-sag shelves to provide additional support for items placed on display.

The chosen design of your store fixture can greatly impact how large or small it will look in your space once it is installed. For example, a smaller store fixture may be better for a new building or renovation because it will not overwhelm the overall aesthetics of the project. However, it can also make a small retail space feel even smaller if it is installed in an area without enough usable space to accommodate it. In addition, several different choices are available when choosing the design for your store fixture. For instance, many store fixtures feature stainless steel fronts and backs with aluminum flat bars at both top and bottom to create a modern look.

Store fixtures can be designed to provide useful storage options from which customers will find to be useful or may just need somewhere to store their personal items while they are out shopping. For example, many retail stores choose to add shelving units to the top of their fixtures in order to provide customers with a place to hang backpacks and coats. In addition, this option is useful for times such as Christmas when large crowds will be entering and exiting the store throughout the day. At the same time, countertops on store fixtures are designed as a place for customers to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee or purchase some pastries while they wait in line. As you can see, there are several different types of functional uses that can be added into store fixtures which become great ways to increase customer satisfaction.

Store fixtures are available in many different styles and shapes. This is because they come in a variety of sizes and designs based on the brand you choose to purchase. For example, some store fixtures feature black glass slanted tops or solid aluminum backs with flat steel bars at the front. Others are available in stainless steel fronts with solid aluminum backs accented by black glass slanted shelves.

Because store fixtures come in such a wide variety of styles it is important that you first decide on what will look best for your store and design needs before choosing one to purchase.

The size of your store fixture will depend on what you need for your retail space. There are also several different sizes available at an affordable price, which does not change the price of your fixture drastically from store to store. If you need more storage space in the back of the store, then a larger fixture may be more appropriate. However, if you have enough storage for your products throughout the store then a smaller style can be selected. Keep in mind that when ordering your fixtures you will likely have to send or bring a sample with you of what will be available on site in order to ensure that everything fits well together.

Conclusion

Store fixtures are an easy option that can help transform existing retail spaces into a vibrant retail environment. They are available in a wide variety of styles and shapes and come in many different sizes. Store fixtures are one of the most affordable ways to add style, functionality and additional product storage options to your store.

The store fixture allows you to choose many different options that you can use in order to customize your retail space while still creating a cohesive interior design throughout your store. However, before you decide on which parts of your fixture design will work best, it is important that you first take measurements of your space so that all of your components will fit together seamlessly.
