Cleanline Modular Laboratory Benching
Sleek, scalable design through aluminium extrusions.
How the Cleanline system is built
The Cleanline system is based around a series of steel frames located within extruded aluminium rails, each finished in a durable powdercoat.
This creates a highly flexible system with a degree of adjustability for the installer.
Multiple designs of leg frame are compatible, including the standard ‘H’ frame, ‘C’ frames or cantilever ‘T’ frames. Each frame is fabricated from box section steel and fitted with an adjustable foot for levelling. The channel rails into which these locate are a proprietary extruded profile, available in single lengths up to 4000mm. The frames can be located freely along the length of the section during the installation (subject to free span limits), affording the fitter flexibility to overcome complex or unforeseen site conditions. Channels can be jointed to facilitate indefinite extension of benching runs far beyond the 4000mm length.
This system is rated to a maximum of 150kg, evenly distributed per linear metre. Where this system cannot be wall fixed, a second “panel” / “lower” rail and rigidity panels will be included to ensure suitable stiffness. Removable rear panels can be fitted to conceal the service void left to the rear, with worktops directly fixed into the aluminium rails.

Where Cleanline suits
The value of the extruded rail is realised on site rather than on the drawing. Because the frames locate freely along the channel, the fitter can move a leg to miss an unexpected service run, a floor box or an out-of-true wall without waiting on a remanufactured part. On refurbishment work, where surveys are rarely perfect and the building is usually older than the drawings, that tends to be the difference between finishing on programme and not.
The removable rear panelling is the other reason it gets specified: by fitting an additional rail we can insert easily removed panels to cover services whilst allowing convenient access, or as a modesty panel on peninsular runs.
