Gentle Dental Care is a well established dental practice and has been based in Winchester for over 25 years. They needed to expand the business and moved into a larger and more modern premises. Shop Services were asked to work with them to design and produce shopfitting units to enhance their contemporary, clean look.

Fluorescent lighting was used within the units throught a diffused glass finish. This illuminated the graphics and product displays against a clean but sofly lit backdrop.		The reception desk was completed in a MDF white gloss spray finish with a black granite counter top, granite trim and aluminium skirting. The oak MDF wall and TV unit complimented the existing interior. The display units were also manufactured in a white gloss spray finish with green tinted polished edged glass shelving.		The display units incorporated adjustable glass shelving to display the products and allowing storage space to the base of the units with sliding track doors. The oak wall filing cabinet and TV unit were all manufactured with flush fitting doors with a routed finger pull handle and internal adjustable shelving.

Heritage and Museums
Heritage and historic buildings require sensitive treatment to balance the requirements of retailing while still preserving the character and ambience of the setting. With this in mind we design souvenir shops which blend perfectly with the surroundings and are appropriate to the period of the building whether it be a castle, cathedral or a historic house.

We understand the requirements of being able to work in an environment with modern retail equipment to maximise visitor spending potential and essentially maintain the look of point of sale area. Gaining knowledge of the building for a potential refurbishment is of the highest importance when considering the style of furniture to be fitted, as well as meeting and liaising with the customer to fulfil every requirement and standard set.

Restoration work has become increasingly important in our grand Cathedrals and Abbeys. A successful retail area can be a major source of revenuewhich needs to be professionally designed, manufactured and installed to blend with the original features, whilst still operating as a modern retail shop.
