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.

High Performance Fume Hood Installation

High-Efficiency Low-Flow Fume Hoods Consume 50% Less Energy

High-performance fume hoods can operate at a lower inflowing air velocity, allowing the fume hood to consume 50% less energy than conventional hood designs. As a result, these high performance/low flow hoods are safer, have lower installation costs, and are up to 50% less expensive in operating costs. PSA Laboratory Furniture has carried environmentally- and economically-friendly high-performance chemical fume hoods since 1997.

Advantages of High-Performance Chemical Fume Hoods:

Engineered to exhaust 50% less conditioned air from the laboratory
Designed to capture fumes while working in today's modern laboratories with varying factors such as lab traffic, fluctuating temperatures and interior hood loading
Fume capture and containment can be demonstrated with tracer gas testing
Low airflow provides an ideal environment for working with powders and delicate work
