Modernising Deli Counters with Re-Cladding Solutions

Client: Tesco

Modernising by re-cladding existing deli counters.

Staggered specialises in retail fit-out, counter refurbishment, and bespoke cladding solutions that give existing facilities a fresh, modern look without the cost of full replacement. A recent project for Tesco highlights how we modernised their deli counters with a durable and stylish re-cladding system.

The Challenge: Outdated Metal Case Cladding

Tesco’s deli counters were originally clad in standard metal casing, which had become dated and in need of an upgrade. Replacing the counters entirely would have been costly and disruptive, so we proposed a re-cladding solution to extend their lifespan and refresh their appearance.

Our Solution: New Support System & Laminated Panels

The project involved:

• Removing the existing metal cladding from the deli counters

• Designing and installing a new support framework tailored to the counters

• Fitting laminated posts and panels, chosen for durability, hygiene, and ease of maintenance.
  

The laminated panels provided a clean, modern aesthetic while ensuring compliance with food safety requirements. The oak-effect finish added warmth and a premium feel to the counters, enhancing the overall look of the store interior.

Benefits of Counter Re-Cladding

Our re-cladding process delivered Tesco:

• Cost savings – upgrading instead of replacing

• Sustainability – re-using existing structures rather than scrapping them

• Improved appearance – a modern, attractive finish that elevates the customer experience

• Minimal disruption – installation carried out quickly and efficiently to keep the store operational.
  

Transforming Retail Spaces with Smart Refurbishment

This project demonstrates how counter re-cladding and refurbishment solutions can provide a sustainable, budget-friendly alternative to full counter replacement. By combining design expertise with skilled installation, we help leading retailers like Tesco modernise their food service areas while keeping downtime to a minimum.
