Choose from our Laboratory Worktop Materials

There are many materials that can be used to build laboratory worktops. The ones we use to install Kinetic Laboratories worktops can be made to be compatible with existing laboratory furniture and are available in a bespoke range of sizes and colours. Have a read below of the main materials we regularly work with.

Trespa® TopLab®BASE

Trespa is considered the number one choice of material used on laboratory installations. TopLab®BASE is developed specifically for high functionality in the laboratory, making durability and ease of cleaning a high importance. Chemical resistance is not critical and it is not adversely affected by moisture. This material is ideal for worktops and cabinets in an educational or institutional proximity where severe use and cleaning is to be expected.

Trespa® TopLab®PLUS

This is a specified material, idea for chemical, physical and analytical laboratories with environments where hygiene, sustainability and safety are important. Its surface makes it easy to clean, offers excellent resistance to the most aggressive chemicals and cleaning agents, and contamination is easily avoidable. Our Trespa® TopLab®PLUS product is available in a timeless pastel palette of colours.

Epoxy

An Epoxy worktop is a non-porous, solid surface that is normally installed in laboratories which require chemical resistance. They are resilient, hard-wearing and made up of 90% natural quartz meaning that even under heavy mechanical impact do not chip. This material may be seen in traditionally wet chemistry labs as chemical, temperature and shock resistance are all strong. 

Velstone

Our Velstone worktops are a conventional, seamless surface that offer fantastic mechanical strength and weathering resistance to worktops in a medical, research and educational sector. They are manufactured to withstand the daily wear and tear of a laboratory or exposure to performance in public spaces. Velstone is highly sustainable, even in the event of damage. Its solid surface is fire retardant and chemical resistant which means it can easily be maintained, and minor scratches or stains can be removed with little difficulty.

Laminate

With its high performance credentials, laminate worktops are an economical alternative to solid surface for laboratory areas. It is an attractive, low-maintenance surface that does not require strict attention to cleaning and durability. Strong heat-resistant, water-resistant and impact-resistant features means it has longevity and will be an affordable option for your worktops.

The worktops are installed by our team of professional manufacturers and their design can be adapted to fit your needs so we highly recommend you take a look at our fantastic range of made-to-measure contemporary and functional furniture available on our website or you can get in touch and make an enquiry here.
