Laboratory Sinks
Laboratory Sinks & Waste
Choosing the right laboratory sink is a critical decision that impacts the functionality, safety, and longevity of your workspace.
With various materials, styles, and configurations available, it’s essential to consider factors such as the sink’s intended use, chemical resistance, durability, and ease of maintenance.

Key types of sinks and benefits:
-
Stainless steel sinks
Stainless steel is a popular choice for sinks due to its variety of types, styles, and sizes. These sinks are not only visually appealing but also resistant to heat, fire, stains and rust and they are easy to clean. Additionally, stainless steel can be easily cut, welded, and customised to fit the available space. Its durability offers long-term value, making it an excellent investment for many laboratory environments.
-
Ceramic sinks
Often referred to as Belfast sinks, traditional ceramic sinks feature a smooth, impervious surface that resists chemicals, dirt, and moisture. These sinks are extremely hardwearing, resistant to heat and stains, and do not fade or discolour. They also offer high resistance to scratches and chipping.
-
Epoxy resin sinks
Epoxy resin sinks offer exceptional durability and chemical resistance, making them ideal for laboratories and other demanding environments. They are highly resistant to solvents, acids, scratches, and stains, which helps prevent damage and ensures a long lifespan. Their non-porous surface is easy to clean, promoting a hygienic workspace.
-
Solid surface sinks
Solid surface sinks are high-performance options that can be seamlessly integrated into countertops, creating a smooth, streamlined appearance. These sinks are easy to clean, resist most common chemicals, and are non-porous, preventing the absorption of dirt, moisture, or bacteria. They are also easy to repair and maintain.
The BBA-approved Vulcathene system provides a reliable, chemical-resistant drainage solution for 316-grade stainless steel, ceramic, and epoxy sinks, making it a trusted choice for laboratory waste management.
Sink wastes
Sink wastes are designed to meet the specific needs of diverse laboratory environments. Strainer wastes capture debris, while bottle traps are ideal for handling solids. Overflow wastes help prevent spills in inset sinks, and chemical-resistant wastes are essential for sinks exposed to corrosive substances.
Pop-up wastes provide convenient water control for solid-surface or ceramic sinks, combining durability and efficiency for any lab setting.
