BUTCHER BLOCK
COUNTERTOPS
Laboratory Butcher Block Countertops
Butcher block countertops feature multiple wood strips bonded together to form a solid, durable slab. PSA Laboratory Furniture uses high-quality edge-grain maple wood coated with Durakryl 102® to increase durability and resistance. These countertops can withstand rigorous laboratory conditions. They provide a long-lasting surface that resists impact, scratches, and general wear.
Unlike other materials, butcher block brings a natural aesthetic to lab spaces. At the same time, they also maintain the strength needed for demanding applications. Its ability to absorb vibrations makes it an excellent choice for labs that require stability during hands-on experiments.
Why Choose Butcher Block Countertops?
Butcher block countertops balance durability, cost-effectiveness, and functionality. They are a suitable choice for various laboratory settings. Their natural wood composition provides shock absorption. This feature reduces the likelihood of equipment damage from accidental drops.
Key benefits of butcher block countertops:
- Strong enough to withstand heavy-duty lab work
- Resistant to minor impact, reducing dents and scratches
- Easy to maintain with occasional resurfacing
- Offers a stable, vibration-resistant surface for lab tasks
- Enhances lab aesthetics with a natural wood finish
