The choice of worktop material and its maintenance is one of the most important aspects of a new laboratory.

Staining is the most common event, but burning and accidental damage may also occur. Choosing the right

worktop material will help to maintain your laboratory’s appearance for much longer. APMG offers a range of solid

grade laminates (e.g. Trespa), hardwood, post-formed laminate, cast epoxy, ceramic and solid surface materials.

Our experienced designers can advise on the most suitable material for your application.
