Benefits of Stainless Steel Laboratory Countertops

1. Durability: Stainless steel is highly resistant to physical damage, corrosion, and staining, ensuring long-lasting performance even in demanding lab settings.
2. Chemical Resistance: Resistant to a wide range of chemicals, acids, and bases, making it ideal for handling potentially corrosive substances.
3. Hygienic and Easy to Clean: Non-porous surface prevents bacteria buildup and is easy to wipe down, ensuring a sterile lab environment.
4. Heat Resistance: Withstands high temperatures without warping or degrading, perfect for labs using hot equipment.
5. Aesthetic and Modern Appearance: Sleek and professional look that enhances modern lab aesthetics and reflects light to brighten the space.
6. Customization: Custom-designed options for sinks, drainage, and specialized equipment.
7. Impact Resistance: Tough enough to handle heavy impacts, suitable for high-traffic labs.
8. Low Maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep compared to wood or laminate materials.

Common Applications

• Chemical Laboratories: Handling hazardous or corrosive chemicals.
• Biological Labs: Maintaining cleanliness and sterility.
• Pharmaceutical Labs: Suitable for testing and processing sensitive compounds.
• Food and Beverage Labs: Ensuring sanitary conditions for food testing.

Stainless Steel Countertops Construction

Material Options: Countertop and backsplash made from 16 G stainless steel 304 or 316 depending on lab applications.

Fabrication includes 4” integrated backsplash (custom heights available), stainless steel or galvanized hat channels, and mechanical joints. All seams are welded, ground, and polished to a #4 finish.

Substrate Options

• SS (304) or SS (316) countertop with stainless steel hat channels
• SS (304) or SS (316) countertop with plywood substrate

Edge Options

Standard box edge is provided with all tops. Marine edge is provided at sink units.

Users can select from standard sink sizes or request custom sink sizes integrated into the stainless steel tops.
