Page 1 Laboratory Furniture Laboratory Benches / C-Frame System C-Frames form the skeleton of the Laboratory Benches. It carries the load of the equipment on the benches so that it does not have to be carried by the under bench cabinets. A C-Frame is made from hollow sections of 30 x 60 x 2 mm and kiln dried at 200 °C after being painted with an anti-acid epoxy paint. Laboratory Benches 4 Under Bench Cabinets are suspended from the C-Frames or placed on the floor in case of mobile or Pedestal cabinets. The big advantage of this C-Frame is that the frames carry all the weight. It allows easy removal of cabinets and back panels to access the services running behind it, without the need to remove everything from the table top. The length of the C-Frames vary between 450 and 1800 mm. These modular sizes make it possible to create benches of all kinds of sizes The frame height including legs is 720 mm for sitting type benches, and 870 mm for standing type benches.

This can be as wall bench or as island bench. The back side are designed so that they can be mounted to the energy panel. It makes it possible to disconnect these benches to gain access to the backside or to make major changes. Areas underneath benches without cabinets are normally used as kneeholes (sitting spaces). The backside of these parts are covered with metal panels. If mobile type cabinets are used the complete backside of the bench will be covered by metal panels. This gives a cleaner look, especially when services are running behind the back panels. If the side of the table is exposed (end of wall bench or both ends on an island bench) they will also be covered by metal panels to hide the services running through the service panels.

Sitting space panels and side covering panels of the benches with Pedestal cabinet, which don’t have CFrames, are fixed directly to the cabinets which are different than the other types panels. The width and the height varies with the size of the bench.

The height of these support can be adjusted between -10/+20 mm to compensate for uneven areas in the floor.
