Reference material on specifying laboratory furniture, written from what we manufacture rather than from what ranks.
These are the questions we are asked before an order, written down once so the answer does not depend on who picks up the phone. They cover the decisions that are difficult or expensive to undo after handover — worksurface material, carcass construction, ventilated storage, and how a furniture package is coordinated with the other trades. Everything here comes from our own laboratory furniture ranges and the projects we have installed.
