The expert team of laboratory furniture suppliers at Tecomak Furniture Solutions have over 40 years of experience in designing, manufacturing, supplying and installing all types of labs. We serve customers across the industry, healthcare and education sectors.

Whether you need to fit out clean area laboratories, cleanroom laboratories or general laboratories, we can provide a tailor-made solution. Partnering approved suppliers to give customers the best in quality at affordable prices, Tecomak offers a unique range. We update all our equipment and services regularly to make use of exciting new materials and the latest in design technology.

During design and layout, it is important to ensure there is adequate storage, as well as taking into account specific needs such as those of a cleanroom environment.

Understanding regulatory requirements is equally essential. At Tecomak we are fully qualified to cater for the needs of labs across a range of industries.

Clean Area Laboratories

This type of laboratory has rules governing entry and exit, to ensure strict levels of cleanliness are upheld. There may also be regulations about aspects such as what clothes can be worn into the lab, including shoes or overcoats.

We design furniture for clean area laboratories to fit the specific needs of our clients. Suspended or movable lab benching and furniture are often preferred in this type of environment, to ensure the floor area can be easily cleaned. Hygienic and resistant materials can also help maintain standards of cleanliness. Laboratory furniture suppliers Tecomak will advise and work closely with you to select the best design and furnishings for your clean area laboratory.

Cleanroom Laboratories

Regulations governing cleanroom laboratories are stricter than for clean area labs. A lab of this type is kept under pressure to control movement of air into and out of the room, and there will be rules on staff clothing to minimise risk of contamination.

Tecomak has detailed knowledge of the requirements for clean area lab furniture, and can advise you on suitable materials, as well as designing a room where equipment is integrated with furnishings to ensure ease of cleaning.

Suspended furniture is likely to be the preferred solution in a cleanroom laboratory. Materials will also be carefully chosen with hygiene requirements in mind. For instance, furniture is likely to be constructed from stainless steel or a surface such as Trespa TopLab BASE (formerly Athlon) – a solid grade laminate acid resisting material noted for its modern style, which can easily be cleaned, rather than wood.

General Laboratories

Most general laboratories will use furniture from standard materials. In this type of area, pedestal furniture fixed to the floor may be a good choice, because this design of laboratory bench is economical and makes good use of space. Although this type of lab may not have specific hygiene regulations, cleaning is still a factor to bear in mind, along with durability and ease of use.

Furniture from our standard ranges is likely to be suitable for most general labs, but it will be designed for the specific lab area and expected use. At Tecomak, we provide a full service from design through to installation, making the maximum use of space and ensuring all items of laboratory furniture and equipment work well together. A combination of standard and bespoke items is often the best answer.

Quality Materials and Services

Materials used for lab furniture vary greatly, depending upon the item and its use. For laboratory work benches, the carcass is usually built of either medium density fibreboard (MDF) or melamine faced chipboard (MFC) and faced with laminate sheet, coupled with a durable and hygienic worktop.

At Tecomak we use our preferred suppliers to bring you high quality work surfaces such as Trespa TopLab’s BASE, Corian from DuPont (a mixture of plastic and granite moulded in a range of colour options) or Deterra’s Iroko (a solid acid grade wood for a more traditional look). We can also cater for specific requests, such as a laboratory table surfaced in maple, beech or oak for those requiring a wood finish.

Our full range features many versatile options which can be designed to your laboratory’s unique requirements. This includes lab benches in pedestal, cantilever or suspended designs, lab tables, laboratory cupboards, including under-bench options, standalone units and chemical cabinets, laboratory seating and shelving.

We also install flooring, chosen to meet the exacting needs of your laboratory environment, ceilings – including new suspended ceiling grids – plus sinks and taps. If you want to include fume cupboards or microbiological safety cabinets in your lab design, we offer a fully compliant range including our own models, designed and updated regularly to meet all relevant standards and guidelines. We can also offer the services of Tecomak Environmental Services, who provide clean air equipment, installation, testing and validation.

Your fixtures and fittings, such as windows, blinds, doors and decorating can also all be managed by Tecomak, as well as services such as gas and electricity, fitted by qualified professionals. Whether you have a one-off requirement or need a full laboratory refurbishment, Tecomak are the laboratory furniture suppliers with the expertise and professional resources you need.
