Straight and curved glass are different fresh-meat showcase structures. The choice affects sightlines, tray presentation, counter joints, customer position and the way staff work behind the cabinet.
Straight glass for lineup control
Straight sections can make a long counter lineup easier to align and measure. Note exposed ends, joints, display-deck continuity and rear service access. The advantage is not simply a lower price; it is the way the section fits the project geometry.
Curved glass for presentation
Curved glass changes the visual angle across the display and can affect how shoppers see product at the ends of a counter. Check the actual footprint, corner transitions and customer queue rather than assuming a curved section replaces a straight one without layout changes.
Include the working side
Compare tray depth, staff reach, replenishment route, cleaning access and plug-in or remote installation. Send XCCOLD the glass preference, counter length, product mix and store plan so the fresh-meat entity is matched to the actual project.
