Modern medical and laboratory facilities place strict requirements on furniture: it must be resistant to moisture and chemical reagents, be hygienic, and retain its aesthetic appearance over time. Fundermax HPL (High Pressure Laminate) panels, thanks to their structure and advanced protective coatings, are ideally suited to these challenges. In this article, we will look at the features of HPL furniture in medical changing rooms and laboratory spaces, based on examples of lockers and furniture made from panels with Max Resistance² coating.
Fundermax medical cabinets and lockers are made of 12 mm thick HPL panels. The fittings used to connect the panels into a spatial structure are minifix or Lamelo 8, which ensure the accuracy of the furniture geometry, and the HPL panel itself is protected by a multi-layer acrylic-polyurethane coating, which is one of the most durable synthetic materials.
If necessary, the design of the lockers can be adapted: double-sided cabinets with doors that open on both sides, double L-shaped models for compact changing rooms, as well as “open” versions without doors, which are equipped with a container rack. For optimal ventilation, there are options with special air intake grilles or a sloped top, which allows for the installation of a mechanical ventilation system. Small hinged compartments for dirty laundry can be equipped with a manual hand sterilizer in the upper section.
Fundermax lockers combine over 200 decorative finishes, allowing them to blend harmoniously into any interior of hospitals, gyms, or spa areas. Thanks to their impact-resistant surface and increased moisture resistance, they can withstand heavy use without the risk of swelling or deformation. Anti-vandalism features ensure that the cabinet will retain its appearance even in areas with high foot traffic.
The dimensions of the lockers (section width, rack height, depth) are customized to meet the specific requirements of the facility. Thanks to the modular design, it is possible to form single and group rows, combine different door formats and internal shelves.
For rooms where aggressive chemical reagents and concentrated solutions are used, Fundermax offers Max Resistance² coating. This CGS-type compact laminate according to EN 438-4 is manufactured under ultra-high pressure and temperature, ensuring material uniformity and the absence of internal defects. The two-layer polyurethane acrylic coating withstands the most severe tests: contact with nitric, hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, and other acids, hydrogen peroxide, and solvents does not damage the surface or change its color.
This furniture is the ideal solution for research centers, biochemical and pharmaceutical laboratories, as well as for educational laboratories in educational institutions and food enterprises. Work surfaces and cabinets with Max Resistance² are not only chemically resistant, but also highly wear-resistant and easy to clean and disinfect.
Fundermax HPL furniture is designed for comfortable work and easy maintenance. Handles, hoods, and locks are designed without gaps where dirt could accumulate. Facades can include built-in glass viewing windows, mirror inserts, or lighting, which increases ease of use. Laboratory tables can be fitted with sockets, instrument holders, and special shelves for reagents.
The color range of HPL panels allows you to combine functional areas by color: light pastel shades for changing rooms, bright contrasting elements for reagent storage areas, and calm tones for work tables.
Together, these advantages increase the efficiency of medical staff, create comfortable conditions for patients and researchers, and reduce the cost of maintenance and replacement of equipment.
HPL Fundermax is a versatile material for manufacturing furniture in medical and laboratory facilities. Vandal-proof lockers and cabinets, work tables, and laboratory furniture from the Max Resistance² line provide the highest level of resistance to physical and chemical stress, maintaining aesthetics and hygiene for decades. Properly designed furniture systems based on HPL Fundermax increase safety, comfort, and productivity in any professional environment.
