Solid Surfaces - Case Study
Bright Technologies Ltd, Sheffield
Laboratory Benching - Bespoke Corian® Application
The project included the design and production of a bespoke bench system used for handling radioactive materials. A water-safe edge and sinks without dirt traps had to be included as part of the overall requirements. The Corian® solution provided a clean, smooth working surface without any sharp internal corners. The Corian® also encapsulated the lead shielding into the bench giving the clinicians the radiological protection required without coming into contact with the lead shielding material and its associated health risks.
Peter Staniforth of Bright Technologies said “Corian® fulfills all our needs in that we can cove all internal corners, fit a water-safe edge to the front and build in sinks that have no dirt traps around the edges. Our customers also appreciate having a wide range of colours to work with so that they can match up to existing decor in the departments.”
