Aquariums for Retail and Showrooms

In a shop the aquarium should not compete with the product; it should frame it. We design made-to-measure aquariums for windows and sales floors around the brand palette, plan for sun and heat, and service them outside opening hours.

Aquariums in Shop Windows: Sun and Heat

A window is the most visible and the hardest place for an aquarium. Direct sun heats the water, speeds up algae and turns the glass into a mirror from outside. We plan solar control film on the window, a dedicated chiller or fan, a shorter lighting period around peak sun and light angles set for the view from the street.

Designed Around the Brand

Rock and sand tones, background colour, colour temperature and the colour of the fish can follow the brand palette. Dark stone and a restrained planting suit a luxury showroom; a colourful freshwater community suits a children’s store.

Mall Rules and Installation Times

Mall units need technical management approval before installation. They usually ask for the filled weight and floor load, power consumption and connection, water and drainage needs, and the date, time and goods-lift use. We prepare these with the quote and install outside opening hours.

Working With Product Display

For watches, jewellery or design objects, the aquarium works well as part of the display furniture, with the product in front of or above it and the aquarium as a backdrop. We work from the same drawings as the furniture maker.

Questions

Common Questions

In a Mall, Is Installation Done While the Shop Is Open?

Most malls require heavy materials and water work outside opening hours. We plan installation and care to the mall's technical management rules.

Can We Display Products Inside the Aquarium?

We advise against it. Products are damaged by water and it is risky for livestock. Designing the aquarium as part of the display furniture works better.
