Science labs designed
for modern teaching
When designing science laboratories where students learn Biology, Chemistry and Physics, it is important to create educational environments that supports both practical experiments and theory lessons.
We tailor the design of your science lab furniture to fit your room, teaching style and practical requirements, helping you create a safe, durable and engaging environment for students.
You will be provided with a range of layout options following conversations and planning meetings to discuss your ideas, budget, delivery requirements and long-term value.
Flexible design, layout
and custom materials
Our design process is led by your requirements, with options and suggestions at each stage to help you make informed decisions about layout, colour, materials, budget, durability and the learning environment.
We can specify a wide choice of worktop materials to suit different science educational environments, including Corian, Trespa, Velstone, Imax acrylic and Fundermax.
We can also provide worktop cross sections to help your team compare material make-up, finish, durability and suitability before making a decision.
We only use appropriate materials and fittings for demanding educational environments, creating high quality, long-lasting furniture. This can include gas and water taps, sinks, waste kits, durable worktops, storage and integrated services.
Understanding best practice with CLEAPSS
Where relevant, we can support your planning alongside CLEAPSS guidance for practical science in schools and colleges. CLEAPSS provides trusted guidance and resources for safe, engaging practical science: cleapss.org.uk.
“Their wealth of knowledge and experience installing science labs was invaluable in the advice of space planning, specification of taps and utilities as well as guidance around aesthetics and health and safety.

Article: How to Design a School Laboratory
Designing a modern science lab is about far more than fitting benches and sinks into a room.
Schools need flexible, future-ready educational environments that inspire curiosity, support hands-on learning, meet relevant safety guidance and stay within budget.

Science Laboratory Furniture FAQ
Depending on the function of each laboratory, we can provide the relevant science-specific hardware for the science lab desks educational environment.
You may require a ‘wet’ or ‘dry’ lab, you may require a subject-specific lab, or you may require a multi-purpose science lab that requires gas, water/waste elements, as well as a fume cupboard – all of which we can cater for.
Depending on the function of each laboratory, we can provide the relevant science-specific and STEM hardware.
You may require a ‘wet’ or ‘dry’ lab, you may require a subject-specific lab, or you may require a multi-purpose science lab that requires science lab desks with gas, water/waste elements, as well as a fume cupboard – all of which we can cater for.
Of course, we aim to accommodate whatever the floor space allows us to.
Specific heights of work benches can be included to ensure tools are at the correct working height.
We can provide deeper science lab desk worktops to allow overhangs for clamping, we can use Trespa, hardwood or solid surfaces (depending on your requirements).
Also, we can provide white goods and appliances or leave provisions for them within our proposal.
It can be dependent upon the laboratory’s function as much as budget.
We can provide drop-in stainless-steel sinks as well as undermount epoxy resin or ceramic sinks, for example.
We supply Vulcathene wastes and bottle traps to ensure they stand the rigours which repeated chemical usage can throw at them.
Services are always discreetly concealed in the science classroom, with accessible panels to aid maintenance and repairs.
Air circulation is critical in most laboratories, and you will find our infills, end panels and service units vented to assist with this.
Designing a school science laboratory requires a collaborative approach, involving stakeholders to create a safe, engaging, and practical space.
As well as the functionality and aesthetics, a key focus should be on value for money, to install a science laboratory suitable for today and tomorrow. Read more
