Benching Systems

There are a variety of bench op support systems and numerous work surface materials available depending upon your intended application. At the design stage you hold one-to-one briefings with a member of our Technical Sales team during which you will be encouraged to discuss matters which can impact on price and delivery. These can include bench top loading, chemical, heat and stain resistance, equipment space, both free-standing and under bench, M&E services distribution, fume cupboards and associated extract& make up air systems.

We will introduce you to various options based upon our specialist knowledge and experience so as to ensure the final agreed design and specification meets your requirements and budget.

 

FIXED PEDESTAL: This system of benching is constructed by placing the under bench units in position, after which the worktops are fixed to them. This method produces a very robust and economical construction not requiring additional legs and is capable of withstanding heavy bench loads.

 

CANTILEVER: This system appeals where flexibility is of great importance. 'T' or 'H' shaped metal leg supports are fixed to a continuous softwood wall batten at centres of no less that one metre. Under bench units are not fixed to the worktop so can be repositioned to suit any individual requirements.

 

SUSPENDED: This system appeals where flexibility and ease of cleaning are a priority. A self supporting 'C' shaped metal frame is employed, under bench units are then hung from the frame allowing access for ease of cleaning.
