Among the essentials, the workbench stands out as a key component, and few options compare to the durability and versatility of a metal workbench. Whether you work in manufacturing, mechanics, or crafting, industrial metal benches provide unmatched benefits, making them indispensable […]
Exploring the Versatility of Work Benches in the Higher Education Sector
According to HESA, the number of students studying science degrees in higher education has increased. In 2022/23 48% of male students and 43% of female students were enrolled in science subjects and there is a steady pipeline of future students completing these subjects at A level, so getting the facilities right is an important consideration. […]
Decoding the Differences: How to Choose the Right Compact HPL Sheet for Your Workbench Needs
Introduction to Compact HPL: Composition and Uses Compact High Pressure Laminate (HPL), also known as Solid Grade Laminate (SGL) or phenolic, is a robust material crafted by compressing multiple layers of resin-impregnated paper under high heat and pressure. The core usually consists of kraft paper, well-known for its strength and durability, which is saturated with […]
Revolutionising Learning Environments for Professional Development in Secondary Schools
Practical learning encompasses a broad spectrum of activities, from experiments to fieldwork, projects, performances, and exhibitions, all taking place in dedicated spaces such as laboratories, studios, and workshops. However, practical learning often takes a back seat to academic learning, perpetuating a false divide between theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills. This discrepancy is particularly evident in […]
Improving Air Purity In Cleanrooms
Cleanrooms require meticulous control of air quality to maintain a sterile and dust-free environment. The initial cleanroom design and installation is the first thing, but the air quality is also dependent on proper daily operational practice and good maintenance.
What’s The Best Workbench Protection?
Keeping your bench top in great condition is essential for safe, effective and efficient workmanship. As any maker, engineer or mechanic knows, the typical worktop gets scratched, dented and contaminated with glue, soldering drips and dirt building up in knife marks all too soon. Many different materials have been developed as more durable alternatives to […]
What To Look For In A Workbench
Buying new workbenches for your workplace is not something most of us do every day – indeed, get the decision right and you won’t need to be buying benches again for a while! Asking “What is the best workbench for our workshop, warehouse or assembly shop?” reveals there are a number of points to consider. […]
How A Custom Workbench Can Help A Production Line

Being able to choose a custom workbench out of a range of sizes that suit your trade with anti-static surface protection mats at competitive prices is a big help with morale and output. Assembly lines are the backbone of a broad swath of industries from sophisticated microelectronics, guided missiles, and medical equipment to simple packing […]
Carbon Fibre And Other Composite Materials: Avoiding Cross-Contamination

Why is Cross-Contamination a Problem? Carbon Fibre (CF) and Kevlar are some of the advanced composites used for the fabrication of many critical components in medical instruments, aerospace, motorsports and other areas which require tightly controlled parameters. Within the family of Carbon Fibre, different resins can be used along with various other fibre reinforcements such as natural […]
What Uses Can Our Metal Workstations Be Put To?

For Storage It’s a simple thing but maybe not always obvious but items left in the wrong place or worse, on the floor, are a big drag on time and resources with time being perhaps the most valuable resource that we have. Use our metal workstations or industrial work tables to the maximum we say! […]
