Lab furniture supplier in Malaysia: benches, worktops and storage
Workbenches, worktops, storage, stools and emergency showers for school and industrial laboratories.
TopBorneo is a lab furniture supplier working from Labuan and Kota Kinabalu and delivering across Malaysia.
Benches, worktops, stools and chairs, sinks, cabinets and storage are quoted from your layout or your list, with the delivery on the same quotation. Furniture is quoted per project, so an enquiry starts with the room and the number of workplaces.

What TopBorneo supplies
| Group | Typical items |
|---|---|

Fume hoods and safety cabinets that move air belong with the equipment, see lab equipment.
The worktop decides how long the bench lasts
The frame under a laboratory bench rarely fails. The worktop is what wears out, and the four materials behave very differently.
| Worktop | Resists | Weak point |
|---|---|---|
| Epoxy resin | Chemicals, heat and moisture, all three | Heavy and the most expensive, so the structure has to carry it |
| Phenolic resin | Chemicals and moisture, lighter than epoxy | Less resistant to real heat, so not the choice next to a burner |
| Stainless steel | Heat, water and cleaning, easy to keep clean | Corrodes against strong acids and chlorides |
| High pressure laminate | Everyday wear, at the lowest price | Chemicals and heat mark it, and water gets into a damaged edge |
The usual mistake is choosing one material for a whole room. A teaching laboratory can take laminate on the writing side, and needs something better where the chemicals actually stand.
School science laboratories
School laboratories are their own kind of order: many identical workplaces, a fixed budget and a delivery that has to arrive in the holidays rather than in term time. TopBorneo supplies benches, stools and storage for school science rooms, and is registered as a government supplier.
The Malay page for school buyers is perabot makmal sekolah. How a government body orders, and which amount needs which procedure, is set out on the laboratory supplies page.
What a furniture quotation needs
- The room, with its measurements, or a drawing if you have one.
- The number of workplaces, and whether they stand along the wall or as islands.
- What is done at each place, because that decides the worktop.
- Where the water, drainage, gas and power come out.
- Fixed height or adjustable, and for a school, the age of the pupils.
In Malaysia TopBorneo can come and look at the room before quoting. Elsewhere in the country the quotation is made from your measurements and drawing.
How delivery is quoted
TopBorneo delivers laboratory furniture across Malaysia from its offices in Labuan and Kota Kinabalu. Put the delivery address in your enquiry and the delivery goes on the quotation, because a bench run is not a parcel and the delivery window usually decides the schedule.
Common questions
Who supplies laboratory furniture in Malaysia?
TopBorneo supplies laboratory furniture across Malaysia from its offices in Labuan and Kota Kinabalu: benches, worktops, stools and chairs, sinks, cabinets and storage. Furniture is quoted per project. A quotation is based on the room, the number of workplaces, the work done at each one and the delivery address.
Which worktop material is best for a laboratory bench?
Epoxy resin resists chemicals, heat and moisture together and is the safest choice where chemicals stand. Phenolic resin is lighter and cheaper but less resistant to heat. Stainless steel suits wet and clean work but corrodes against strong acids. Laminate is for dry, low risk benches.
Can TopBorneo furnish a school science laboratory?
Yes. School laboratories are supplied with benches, stools and storage, and TopBorneo is registered as a government supplier. The Malay page perabot makmal sekolah, linked above, is written for school buyers, and the amounts that decide the purchasing procedure are on the laboratory supplies page.
What does TopBorneo need to quote laboratory furniture?
The room measurements or a drawing, the number of workplaces, what is done at each place, where water, drainage, gas and power come out, and the bench height. With those, a quotation can be made. In Malaysia TopBorneo can come and measure the room instead.
Does TopBorneo deliver laboratory furniture outside Sabah and Labuan?
Yes. TopBorneo delivers laboratory furniture across Malaysia from its offices in Labuan and Kota Kinabalu, so put the delivery address in the enquiry and the delivery goes on the quotation with the furniture. Site visits before quoting are offered in Malaysia. Elsewhere the quotation is made from your drawing and measurements.
