Countertops

CFI - Epoxy Resin Laboratory Countertops

Epoxy resin laboratory countertops are extensively used in various laboratory environments for their exceptional chemical and heat resistance. These countertops, made from a thermoset polymer mixed with silica, undergo a curing and heating process that imparts superior physical and chemical resistance properties. Custom Fabricators Inc. offers a range of epoxy resin products including fume hood tops, balance tables, drainboards, shelving, and custom shapes. The material's properties can be customized to achieve specific characteristics, such as color and surface texture. All products are rigorously tested to SEFA standards to ensure adherence to industry norms. Epoxy resin countertops are particularly useful for workspaces requiring high resistance to caustic chemicals and flames, including K-12, university, medical, pharmaceutical, biological science, and industrial labs. Other applications include lab sinks, pegboards, and fume hood bases. Both drop-in and undermount sink options are available to meet various installation needs. CFI ensures that their products are certified for safe indoor air quality and compliant with SEFA standards, making them suitable for sensitive environments like food handling areas. Additionally, they offer Greenstone epoxy, an eco-friendly alternative that meets LEED credits and SCS requirements for post-consumer recycled content.

CFI - Phenolic Resin Laboratory Countertops

Custom Fabricators offers phenolic resin laboratory countertops, a cost-effective solution suitable for labs where extreme heat or high levels of chemical resistance are not required. These countertops are ideal for healthcare and pharmaceutical labs, providing moderate durability against wear and chemical exposure, which makes them an excellent alternative to epoxy resin surfaces. Phenolic resin is created by saturating multiple layers of kraft paper with phenol and formaldehyde, then fused under heat and pressure, resulting in a solid, non-porous surface. CFI provides multiple options including drop-in and undermount sinks, different edge types, and custom color uniformity upon request. This material is commonly used in medical, microbiology, biochemical, and other contaminant-free laboratories. Phenolic resin countertops are available in various grades such as standard, chemical resistant, or fire-rated, offering thicknesses ranging from 0.025” to 1.0”. Backsplashes and additional accessories like drainage tops and specialized edges further enhance the utility and safety of these installations.

Ballistic Millwork

CFI - Ballistic Resistant Wall Panels

CFI provides ballistic resistant wall panels that enhance protection in various environments. These custom-designed panels integrate seamlessly with existing building structures and saferooms. Made with specially constructed glass reinforcements within a proprietary resin matrix, the panels undergo a controlled curing process. Upon impact from projectiles, the panels delaminate to absorb energy and stop the threat. Used by military, law enforcement, and private sectors, these panels offer extra protection in residences, commercial buildings, government and military facilities, banks, courthouses, and more. Typically available in 4’x8’ sizes and thicknesses from 1/8” to 1/2”, they meet Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 752 ballistic resistance standards for levels 1-8. The fiberglass and resin combination exceeds safety standards, securing environments from edge-to-edge without altering existing architectural design. These panels can be paired with ballistic resistant doors and accessories to complete a secure system.

CFI - Ballistic Resistant Doors and Frames - Bullet Resistance for Various Applications

CFI offers a comprehensive line of Ballistic Resistant Doors and Frames, designed to provide bullet resistance while integrating seamlessly into existing building structures. These modular systems have evolved from custom-built solutions and offer maximum ballistic resistance available today, rated from UL levels 1-8. They can be customized with various wood species, door styles, hardware selections, and sizes. Suitable for courtrooms, corporate offices, public schools, homes, and industrial buildings, these doors address environments facing ballistic or intrusion threats. Their construction features pultruded ballistic-grade fiberglass with thermoset resin, meeting or exceeding UL 752 standards for ballistic panels. Additionally, they can be paired with Ballistic Resistant Wall Panels for enhanced protection. This combination ensures edge-to-edge security without compromising the aesthetics or structural integrity of the existing space, aiming to provide effective safety across diverse living, working, and recreational environments.

Casework - Stainless Steel Casework & Cabinets

CFI - Mobile Cabinets

Mobile cabinets offer flexible storage that is easily optimized to the available space. Safe handling and retrieval of materials or supplies is as simple as wheeling it from one room to the next. Mobile cabinets commonly have non-marking rubber swivel casters that also provide great traction. Other locking casters or leveling casters are also available. These are an ideal choice when flexibility is a must.

CFI - Lab Base Cabinets

Lab base cabinets, or floor mounted casework, hold heavy scientific equipment and lab countertops. They are available in various sizes and configurations, making it easy to design a functional lab. Typically these cabinets are used in applications where a worktop will be applied above for the use of a table top. Standard lab cabinets are 22”D with a 7”D rear chase opening behind left for any services such as plumbing or electrical needed to route in the space.

Hygiene Solutions - HALO Air Purification

CFI Erlab HALO - Air Purification System for Laboratory Applications

CFI provides the Erlab HALO air purifier tailored for laboratory and other environments requiring precise air purification.
