Protecting 300 years of military history
8th November 2016

Exhibits covering over 300 years of military history at Alnwick Castle in Northumberland are in display cases featuring protective glass technology supplied by ROMAG.

The glass was specified for the new display cases housing the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers’ permanent museum in the Abbot’s Tower at the castle, protecting and showcasing hundreds of artefacts covering the history of the regiment from 1674 to the present day.

The display cases, built by museum fit out and display specialist The Workhaus. The glass panels function as an integral part of the display cabinets to provide an airtight seal for improved humidity control, helping to protect the artefacts from potential moisture damage in the historic setting of the Tower, which itself is hundreds of years old.

Graham Paylor, case designer at The Workhaus, said: “This is an interesting heritage application, reflecting our ability to work with Romag to deliver effective technical solutions that provide long-term high performance and visitor safety benefits. The specification called for a high quality, high performance glass viewing solution with added security, which Romag has provided.”
