Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →

  • Pros: Exceptional build quality with thick, durable glass that feels premium.
  • Cons: Lacks any internal lighting, so it relies on ambient room light.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Cornish Crust Bakery in Truro, Cornwall, was looking to upgrade from open plates on their counter to a more professional and  hygienic solution for their famous, freshly-baked pasties and  cakes.

"The GC39 is fantastic. It keeps the counter tidy and  our bakes look so much more appealing. Customers can see everything clearly, and  it’s a breeze for the team to wipe down between services. It just looks the part."

David Evans – Owner

Since installing the unit, the bakery has noticed a 15% increase in impulse pastry sales during its busiest morning periods.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unbox carefully and  check all glass panels for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
  • Choose a completely flat and  level countertop surface strong enough to support its 29kg weight.
  • Give all glass surfaces and  shelves a thorough clean with a food-safe glass cleaner before first use.
  • Position the unit with the open back facing your staff for efficient service and  restocking.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down all glass surfaces daily with a soft cloth and  an appropriate food-safe cleaner.
  • For a deeper clean, carefully slide out the removable shelves and  wash them separately.
  • Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, which could scratch or damage the glass.
  • Periodically check that the non-slip feet are clean and  that the unit remains stable on the counter.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Countertop Display

Not sure which display case is right for your space? Here are a few things to consider before you buy.

Measure Your Space

Always double-check your counter depth, width, and  any height restrictions from overhead shelving. Make sure there's enough room for staff to work behind it.

Ambient vs. Chilled

This unit is for ambient goods like bread and  cakes. If you need to display items like cream cakes or filled sandwiches, you'll need a commercial refrigerated display cabinet.

Staff vs. Self-Service

This open-back model is designed for staff service. If you want customers to help themselves, look for a unit with front-opening doors or a pass-through design.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features that make hygiene simple. Smooth surfaces and  removable shelves, like in the GC39, are a massive bonus for busy businesses.

Built to Last

In a commercial setting, durability is key. Toughened safety glass and  a sturdy frame will withstand accidental knocks far better than cheaper alternatives.

Maximum Visibility

The point is to sell your products! Choose a design with minimal framing to give customers the best possible, uninterrupted view of your delicious food.

Why Toughened Glass is a Must-Have for Your Countertop

Ever wondered what 'toughened safety glass' actually means? It’s not just a fancy term for thick glass. It’s a specific type of glass that has been through a controlled heating and  cooling process. This treatment makes it up to five times stronger than ordinary glass of the same thickness. Think of it like the difference between a standard wine glass and  a thick pub pint glass; one shatters at the slightest knock, while the other is built to withstand a busy environment. Crucially, if it ever does break under extreme force, it crumbles into small, blunt, pebble-like pieces rather than dangerous sharp shards. This makes it infinitely safer for your staff and  customers in a bustling commercial setting.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafés & Coffee Shops

    An ideal Lincat Seal counter top food display for showing off croissants, muffins, and  pastries right by the till.

  • Bakeries & Patisseries

    A brilliant way to present fresh loaves, delicate tarts, and  celebration cakes in a hygienic, attractive manner.

  • Delis & Sandwich Bars

    Keep your grab-and-go sandwiches, sausage rolls, and  snacks looking organised and  incredibly tempting.

  • Farm Shops & Canteens

    Perfect for presenting local pies, fresh scones, and  other homemade treats in a professional Lincat GC39 showcase.
