Precision Furniture and Worktops for Academic Environments
Design, Laboratory, Education
Eaton Timber Solutions was selected to deliver custom furniture and educational worktops for the University of Wales, using a combination of compact laminate work surfaces and pre-galvanised steel worktops to support a range of learning environments.
This installation was tailored for high-usage teaching spaces, where resilience, cleanliness, and long-term durability were critical. Each surface was custom-manufactured to align with the project’s technical and spatial requirements.
Durable and Modern Surface Materials
Compact Laminate Work Surfaces
Designed to withstand daily classroom use, our compact laminate work surfaces are impact-resistant, low-maintenance, and ideal for educational settings. The smooth, sealed finish makes them easy to clean while maintaining a high-spec look.
Pre-Galvanised Steel Worktops
Where greater durability was required, we supplied pre-galvanised steel worktops - suitable for more demanding classroom and technical applications. These surfaces offer chemical resistance, edge protection, and enhanced structural integrity.
Project Outcomes

Installation of furniture and pre-galvanised steel worktops for high-use areas
