Laboratory Furniture

Proven, quality furniture systems for any application

Benches & Worksurfaces

All of our cabinets and worktops are designed, cut, processed and assembled in house in Essex. Steelwork is fabricated and coated to order using an established, proven network of very local specialists.

Benching Systems

Lab Furniture system breakdown

3R is our all-steel, wholly pre-fabricated framework, arriving on site ready to install and the most straightforward of our systems, well suited to freestanding benches, wall runs and peninsulas where the layout is settled at design stage.

Cleanline sets steel frames into our proprietary extruded aluminium rail system, allowing frames to be positioned anywhere along the run on site, which affords considerable flexibility on refurbishments and older buildings where the drawing and the wall rarely agree. Removable rear panels keep the service void accessible throughout.

Pedestal supports the worktop directly on the storage units, making the most efficient use of the space beneath the bench, and mixes freely with our steel systems to leave open runs for seated users or mobile cabinets.

FlexModular carries services on a floor-mounted steel spine or ceiling gantry rather than burying them behind fixed furniture, so benching and cabinetry can be repositioned later without disturbing the services installation. Developed with renowned global architects HOK for the University of Glasgow; BIM deliverables on request.
