Transparent mesh LED screens for shop windows

A transparent mesh LED screen is mounted on glazing: from outside it is a full screen with video and advertising, while from inside daylight passes through and the view from the window remains. The LEDs sit in thin strips with air between them, which is why our models are 65–70% transparent. This is a screen for shop windows, glass facades, atriums and car showrooms in Almaty and across Kazakhstan.

KazLedPro has built LED screens since 2012: more than 1,000 sites, 62 of them published in the portfolio, including screens in the retail floors and shopfronts of Mega Almaty and Dostyk Plaza. Installation is done by our own crew, and our module warehouse is in Almaty. The catalogue has two mesh screen models with datasheet specifications — P2.6 × 5.2 and P3.91 × 7.82, both on 1000×1000 and 1000×500 mm cabinets.

A transparent screen for a shop window is bought to the exact size of the glazing: cabinets are stacked to the width and height of the opening, and we price the job by area and model. There is a calculator on the site, and a commercial proposal with a cabinet layout is ready within a day.

How a mesh screen is built

A mesh screen module is 500×125 mm. Its LEDs sit in horizontal strips with a gap between the strips. Hence the two numbers in the pixel pitch: 2.6 mm between LEDs along a strip and 5.2 mm between strips on the first model, 3.91 and 7.82 mm on the second. Light passes through those gaps: transparency is 70% for P2.6 × 5.2 and 65% for P3.91 × 7.82.

A 1000×1000 mm cabinet weighs 7.5 kg and the panel is 40 mm thick. A 10 m² screen weighs under 80 kg, so no heavy frame is needed: the mesh hangs on an aluminium profile or a suspension behind the window frame. Brightness of 2,000–4,500 cd/m² gives a margin for a shop window in direct sun. Refresh rate 1,920–3,840 Hz, lifespan 100,000 hours.

One important detail: both models are rated IP33. This is a screen for installation indoors, behind glass. It cannot go on the outside of a building in rain and snow — for the open street there are outdoor screens and media facades rated IP65–IP67.

Two models: P2.6 × 5.2 and P3.91 × 7.82

P2.6 × 5.2 has 73,728 pixels per square metre and 70% transparency. It suits shop windows that people walk past at two or three metres: boutiques in a mall, entrance lobbies, glass partitions inside a building. The picture is dense enough for video clips and large text.

P3.91 × 7.82 has 32,768 pixels per square metre and 65% transparency. This is the option for large glass surfaces viewed from four metres and beyond: two- or three-storey facade glazing, atriums, car showrooms with a big window. Half the pixels, so the square metre is noticeably cheaper.

Both models share the same 1000×1000 and 1000×500 mm cabinets, the same power draw of 800 W/m² maximum and 240 W/m² average, and a 140° viewing angle. The choice between them comes down to viewing distance and content: text and logos read on both, detailed video and faces on P2.6 × 5.2.

Shop windows, glass facades, car showrooms

A shop window is the main use. A shopfront screen covers the glass with advertising while the goods and interior behind it stay visible from the street. The shop does not have to choose between a window and a screen. We built screens for the Lacoste and SuperStep stores in Mega Almaty (2025), the Sulpak Vivo brand zone in Dostyk Plaza (2023) and the Adidas chain in Almaty (2025) — wherever the shop glass works as an advertising surface, mesh removes the problem of a darkened floor.

The glass facade of a business centre or a mall atrium is the second use: a screen across all the glazing without the building going dark. A screen in a car showroom is the third: the huge window becomes a screen and the cars behind it stay in view. In every case installation is from inside, behind the glass, with front or rear service — whichever suits the site.

Mesh cabinets stack to any size in 500 mm steps in height and 1,000 mm steps in width. Cabinet orientation is fixed by the design: the LED strips are always horizontal, and rotation is not provided for. We draw the layout for the specific opening in the commercial proposal.

Mesh or a regular screen in a shop window

A regular indoor P2.5 screen gives 160,000 pixels per square metre and a photorealistic picture, but it is solid: the window becomes a wall and no daylight reaches the floor. A mesh screen trades some density for transparency and light weight. If you need the window as a window with advertising on top, choose mesh. If the only task is to show video in maximum detail and the glass does not matter, choose a regular screen.

There is a third option we use in shopping malls: mesh on the window plus a dense screen inside the floor. The outside advertising stays transparent, and detailed content is shown where the shopper is already standing two metres away.

What the supply includes and how we deliver across Kazakhstan

A mesh screen supply includes aluminium 1000×1000 and 1000×500 mm cabinets with modules, power supplies and receiving cards installed — cards, power and the fixing system are already in the price per square metre — a video processor, cabling, installation on glazing or a facade without a heavy frame, brightness tuning for the shop window and documents: passport, wiring diagram, acts and warranty card. The electrical specification is issued before installation.

We ship from our Almaty warehouse and across Kazakhstan by freight company with the crew travelling to site. The mesh is light and needs no massive substructure, so installation on shop-window glazing is faster than a facade screen. Cabinet layout for your glass panes, timing and delivery cost are fixed in the contract after a survey or from photos and dimensions of the window.
