Its structurally sound, secure and keeps away dust. However, the cabinet is not cheap though....
i assume you mean how do i protect them from yellowing?
-I have 3M security film installed on all windows which blocks out 99% of all types of UV
-I have thick black-out curtains.
-I dont leave any form of artificial lights on for long periods of time.
-I try to minimise exposure to potentially harmful heat sources.
Are your aluminium blinds vertical or horizontal? cos if they are vertical then you can aim the light away from your cabinets...
If you are going to invest in a custom fitted acrylic case just for Grand Max, then you may want to double check that it is resistant to all forms of UV.
Correct me if im wrong, but none of the typical acrylic cases on offer from AFA protects you from the type of UV that induces yellowing (UV-C??). As expensive as the standard acrylics cases may be, you will need to pay even more on top for AFA's UV-resistant range!!So check first with whoever you intend to custom order the case from.
Btw, whatever you end up choosing, dont forget to factor in weight and mishap. If your grand max is not going to be free standing near the floor or perched directly on top of a sturdy cabinet, then yellowing and dust will be the least of your concern if theres a chance it will fall down!!!...Touch wood...
It is a shame that those $600 ikea cabinet you bought are not transparent on the sides...
