Elevating tap display stands for STH Westco

Creating a seamless, high-impact store experience

When STH Westco set out to enhance the in-store presentation of its premium tap ranges, the goal was clear: deliver a striking, practical display solution that would stand out in busy retail environments while reinforcing brand identity. Partnering with Merit Display, the brief was transformed into a suite of modular, multi-tiered tap display stands designed to maximise visibility, flexibility, and long-term performance across national retail locations.

Project brief

STH Westco required the design, manufacture, and installation of bespoke tap display stands for rollout across national retailer locations. The solution needed to work within existing store racking dimensions while delivering strong visual impact and practical functionality.

Three tailored display formats were developed:

  1. A dedicated kitchen tap display

  2. A dedicated bathroom tap display

  3. A dual-purpose display showcasing both ranges

Each unit was carefully designed to balance elegance, usability, and modular flexibility.

Key objectives

  • Create a tiered system to maximise vertical space
  • Ensure all taps are clearly visible and easily accessible
  • Deliver modular displays adaptable to different store formats
  • Enable simple product and graphic updates
