A TOUCH OF SPANISH FLAIR!

Practical and stylish furniture for the laboratory

GRI brings continental style to laboratory design with its range of laboratory furniture from the Spanish company Flores Valles.

Complying with the most demanding of European Quality Standards, this range of laboratory furniture has been designed to be attractive as well as functional.

A wide product range includes; desks, cabinets, glass display cabinets and benching for a wide variety of specific applications. In each case design and finish reflects the proposed use. Balance benches, for example, are designed to cushion external vibrations so enabling greater accuracy.

There are different types of bench construction available: suspended (allowing flexible use of space), plinth mounted (for heavy duty and large capacity) or mobile units with spin castors and a brake system.

Manufactured using a cold-laminated steel carcass with an organic covering of epoxy polyester resin, Flores Valles laboratory furniture is tough and long lasting. The epoxy coating is completely unaffected by all types of wet conditions and withstands both chemical attack and bacterial infection. A variety of worktops are available including compact laminates such as Trespa (a heat resistant resin), vitrified ceramic, polished granite, Durcon (epoxy resin), stainless steel and postformed melamine.

Complete stainless steel construction is also available for laboratories where maximum cleanliness and health safety standards are required, such as in the handling of food or radioactive materials. Manufactured with a thickness of 1.5mm with reinforcement rods these units provide outstanding strength and endurance.

All utility and service lines are channelled through the inside of the furniture and are easily accessible for maintenance.

Modular in design, individual items of Flores Valles laboratory furniture can be easily added to an existing laboratory layout as well as forming the basis for a completely new laboratory design or laboratory refit. GRI's skilled Contract Services Team will be pleased to help with laboratory design and planning to the highest specifications.
