Laboratory Benches
Steel-Wood Laboratory Bench
Product Overview
Steel-wood benches pair a steel frame with wooden cabinets, the most common laboratory configuration. The frame carries load, the cabinets provide storage, and dividing the roles balances cost against performance — steel where strength is needed, board for form and storage, without making the whole bench metal.
The frame uses quality square steel tube, gas-shielded welded and polished, then given a seven-stage pickling and phosphating treatment. Cabinets are 18mm double-faced melamine high-density fibreboard with all cut edges PVC-sealed against moisture.

Detailed Description
Moisture is the weak point of wooden cabinets
The usual failure on a steel-wood bench is not a corroded frame but a swollen cabinet. Units under sinks and around wash areas meet moisture continuously, and once the edge seal is breached the fibreboard absorbs water, swells and never recovers. So **every cut edge needs PVC sealing**, particularly edges trimmed on site. Factory-sealed edges are rarely the problem; the cuts made after delivery to clear pipework are where trouble starts. **Specify all-steel or PP cabinets at sink positions** and keep the steel-wood configuration for dry work areas. Making that call at the planning stage is far cheaper than replacing cabinets later.Selection References
