A workbench top is key to easily completing daily tasks in the workshop. However, investing in a workbench top may prove to be a failure if it is not as resistant as it should be since it may deteriorate or even break at the drop of a hat. Here is what it should have to meet all your needs.
Workbench tops are designed to protect benches and working units from scratches, chemical corrosion, bumps and dents. For this reason, worktops are essential elements for every workshop.
Which features should a heavy duty workbench top have?
The must-have features of a heavy duty workbench top
A heavy duty workbench top that will last over time and mechanical stress has four main features that you can not give up.
Material suited to your needs
The first feature a heavy duty workbench top should have is construction material suited and designed to meet your needs. There is no perfect material, everything depends on the type of work you do, whether you use heavy material and tools, if you deal with oils and corrosive solutions, if you need a waterproof top. In truth, there is no standard recipe, but the material is surely the main component that lets you understand whether the workbench top is right for you.
If you need extra resistance, you could also choose something stronger like a steel worktop, which is resistant to any type of aggressive fluid.
Scratch and shock proof
Regardless of the material you choose, you should check whether it has a scratch proof finish, resistant to shock and particular solutions such as oils or other liquids. A heavy duty workbench top, in fact, should not deteriorate upon first use only because a part or tool accidentally falls on it, but it should guarantee resistance in time to exploit your investment and let you work with ease.
Underlying channel
To facilitate daily tasks, a functional workbench top should have an underlying channel that lets pipes easily pass. This way, the workbench top can easily fit in your workshop, interacting with other furnishing components and improving general workspace order, without creating useless and hazardous hindrances.
Aesthetics
An image is also essential in the workshop world: a captivating workbench top impacts the opinion your customers have of your company, and how you employees feel about their work environment: if they work in an orderly and tidy work space, in fact, they are more at ease and improve their productivity. Like workbenches, choose a modern and colourful workbench top and assess the possibility of customising it to make it even more your own.
