Galvanised steel worktop cover for 2-module workbench, school laboratory equipment programme is a galvanised steel sheet covering with a thickness of 1.5 mm for the worktop of a 2-module workbench. The surface is resistant to oil, solvents and temperature — for work after which a wooden worktop would no longer be fit for use.
This is the version offered to schools purchasing equipment under the school laboratory equipment programme. The finish is identical to the standard version.

Galvanised steel sheet vs rubber on the worktop
The steel sheet covering withstands high temperature, oil and solvents — it works well for metalwork, soldering and cleaning parts. Rubber absorbs impacts and dampens noise, but solvents and hot components damage it.
The choice depends on the type of work: assembly and electronics — rubber; mechanical workshop and chemistry — steel sheet.
school laboratory equipment programme
The school laboratory equipment programme is a government programme for equipping primary schools with equipment for practical classes. The designated version does not differ from the standard one in finish or price — it simply makes it easier to describe the item in purchasing documentation.
Eligibility of the expenditure is determined by the school and its governing body, not by the product designation.
Construction and finish
The item is made of galvanised steel sheet and is not painted. The zinc coating protects against corrosion and does not wear off from tools sliding across it — unlike paint, which wears down to bare metal with everyday use.
Furniture and accessories come to you straight from the manufacturer, with no intermediaries — hence a lead time measured in weeks rather than days, and hence the option of matching the colour to the equipment you already have.
Why accessories are bought separately
The workbench is sold with a worktop and frame, without a tool wall fitted. This is deliberate: two workshops with the same floor area need a completely different layout of holders because they work with different tools.
By buying accessories individually, you pay for what you actually use and expand the workstation gradually. The elements are interchangeable within the system, so the order of purchases does not matter — nothing has to be planned in advance.
Where it works well
- School workshops — technology classes and practical vocational training
- Car workshops and service centres — tool organisation at the workstation
- Maintenance — repair and assembly workstations
- Production and assembly — repetitive tasks at the workbench

Frequently asked questions about W-MB2-1,5 Lab
Can the cover be removed later?
The rubber cover is glued to the worktop, so removing it means destroying it and cleaning off the adhesive. The galvanised steel covering is a permanent solution — when choosing, it is best to assume from the start that it stays for good.
Which workbench does this variant fit?
A 2-module workbench. The variant must match the width of the worktop — a version for a different number of modules will not sit flush with the structure.
How does the school laboratory equipment programme version differ from the standard one?
In finish and price — not at all. The designation indicates that the product is offered to schools purchasing under the programme. Eligibility of the expenditure is determined by the school and its governing body.
What colour is this item?
The item is made of galvanised steel sheet and is not painted — the zinc coating protects against corrosion and does not wear off from sliding tools.
What is the lead time?
Standard is 3–7 weeks. From November to January the lead time may be longer due to the higher volume of orders.
