Durable Metal Countertops and Bench Tops

The most cost-efficient type of countertop for your laboratory depends on the nature of the tests that will be performed in your lab. For example, a pesticide test handling chemicals may call for epoxy or phenolic countertop as the best option. For laboratories dealing with bacteria or soil, non-porous surfaces like stainless steel, phenolic and epoxy countertops are your best choice.
