Our fume cupboard design and manufacturing process
Every laboratory project is different. Our process is designed to help you move from an initial requirement to a safe, practical and fully installed fume cupboard solution, with support from our UK-based design, manufacturing and service teams throughout.

Consultation
We start by understanding your laboratory, the type of work being carried out, the equipment you need to accommodate and any project-specific constraints. This helps us recommend the right fume cupboard configuration for your application, space and budget.
