Whatever your sector (research, industry, education...) our experience in various Caledonian projects (CHN, DIMENC, IAC, UNC...) makesIntermed a major player in the sector.

Choice of base ?

In the absence of a front fascia, the C-shaped base makes it easier to install storage units, while the A-shaped base is designed to accommodate heavy loads of around 350 kg.

Choice of dimensions?

Standard dimensions are 600, 750 or 800mm deep and 900mm high, with module lengths of up to 1800mm. These dimensions can be customized to suit room configuration.

Choice of color?

The frame color is generally white; gray; blue; green and violet, but other colors are available according to a color chart.

Choice of coating 

Here are eight possible materials for your worktop:

1. Straight or postformed laminate. Application: Physics, equipment support, office...

2. Trespa for use in the food, chemical, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries

3. Enamelled tempered ice: for use in bacteriology, biology, molecular biology, chemistry, etc.

4. Self-supporting glazed stoneware slab for chemistry, medicine, pharmacy, wet areas

5. Glazed stoneware tiles: chemistry, colleges, universities Wetlands

6. Polypropylene mainly for laundries.

Choice of layout?

Workbenches can be wall-mounted or central; with or without backsplash; with or without shelf.

We're going to favor a central workbench for greater ease of group work.

The benchtop with backsplash and shelf will allow installation of electrical sockets, RJ 45, gas taps....

Faucet selection?

These worktops can be fitted with basins and bowls units with mixer, gooseneck or 2-head faucet.
