Lighting
Shelving The shelving system is completely adjustable. The structure is made of aluminium. The glass shelves, themselves, can be laminated or tempered but always in our standard low-iron quality.
Frank provides a unique magnetic rail system for lighting. All of the LED-Spots are available in different colours (°K) and are dimmable. A huge advantage is that all the spots can be ďŹ xed freely.
Passive Climate Control
