When putting together or renovating a science lab or classroom it is important to include epoxy resin countertops. Yes, there are cheaper tables out there that could help you reduce the cost of the overall project, but there is one very good reason to go with tables designed specifically for a lab: resistance to chemicals.



Including epoxy resin countertops in a lab is a matter of worker safety and equipment care. You need a table made to withstand exposure to liquids, chemicals, and any other substances that may occasionally be spilled on a table. While most regular tables will be seriously damaged by many of these spills, a countertop with epoxy resin coating will stand up to heat and spills without corroding or becoming damaged.

Of course, when something does spill it is essential in a lab that it is cleaned up as quickly as possible, especially if it is a chemical that should not be exposed to workers or human skin. This is where epoxy resin countertops become essential because they are extremely easy to clean up spills. Also, many have raised edges, which contain the spill so it doesn't roll into the floor or onto workers, creating a much bigger problem.

Is function the only benefit to purchasing epoxy resin countertops? No, there are many other positive benefits associated with purchasing epoxy resin countertops.

Epoxy resin countertops are available in different sizes so they fit into your lab exactly where you need them to, but they also come in a wide variety of color options. The most common colors found pre-made include white, black, blue, and gray, but there is always the option of having a color custom-made from many companies.

When selecting your countertops you will need a good idea of the size of the area where they will be installed. In most cases you will find slabs of this material measuring approximately 98 x 62 inches with thickness ranging between inch and 1 inch. This may vary from one company to another but these measurements are standard with many companies.

No, a lab does not have to look bland or dull as there are many ways of boosting the aesthetic value of its appearance. Sure, a lab needs to be concerned primarily with the type of work it performs. This is something most people already know. However, it also does not have to look dull since this would not make the lab the most beneficial environment in which to work. Thankfully, installing quality epoxy resin countertops can ensure the lab has a great look while also maintaining high levels of safety.
