How cost-effective are epoxy resin countertops?

Epoxy countertops provide some of the best value for the cost. Epoxy counters are mid-tier in terms of cost, while being one of the most well-rounded laboratory work surfaces available. When it comes to multipurpose use, epoxy counters are the best possible choice for labs on a budget. There is a lower overall cost for epoxy counters compared to specialized counter materials.

How long do epoxy resin countertops last?

Epoxy resin countertops can easily last 10+ years with proper care. Overall, epoxy counters have very high durability.

Do epoxy resin countertops stain?

Epoxy countertops will stain if spills are not adequately cleaned up. For this reason, black is the preferred color for epoxy countertops in laboratory settings.

Laboratory sinks with matching counters

Popular sink options include epoxy resin, stainless steel, and polyolefin. These laboratory sinks are available in drop-in or under-mount styles. The most popular laboratory sink is the drop-in style epoxy resin sink. This sink is bonded to the epoxy countertop and requires no understructure for support.

Single- and double-compartment units are available in epoxy and stainless steel. We’ll then match the rest of your counter with the sink to create a seamless finish.
