Metal’s main advantage are it’s strength, non-combustible factor and the wide color range available. Metal’s Disadvantages can be summed up by rust, difficultly to modify, dents, and sound.
Wood’s advantages can be defined by it’s durability, ability to be refinished easily, “warmth”, a natural material (green content), and multiple grains (species). Wood’s disadvantages are warping, the fact that it supports combustion, an inconsistency of color, limited colors, and grain cracks (solid wood).
Laminate’s advantages are a wide color range, wide range of surface materials, textures physical properties, economical, wide range of components, many trim options, several styles, dynamic & extensive product development, and excellent architectural matches. Laminate’s main disadvantages are a particle board core (moisture, strength), HPL delamination, supports combustion, and easy specification substitution.

ORDER TODAY. Most school administrators do not realize that laboratory furniture has a long lead time. Meaning that after receipt of purchase order it usually is 8 weeks before furniture is delivered. And that does not take into account that lab furniture, unless selecting out of catalog, can only be ordered after approved shop drawings and/or equipment lists. Or the fact that your project may require architectural drawings and engineering plans for submission to municipal contacts for approval.
Let one of Longo’s laboratory consultants advise on the design of science space, selection of cabinets, counter tops and fume hoods and then manage the installation as your new modern laboratory classroom takes shape. Take a look at some of the school laboratory spaces by Longo:
