Exhibiting at Lab Innovations 2024
We exhibited Trespa® TopLab® at the UK’s only trade show for the entire laboratory industry.
On Wednesday 30th and Thursday 31st October we exhibited Trespa® TopLab® at Lab Innovations 2024 at the NEC, Birmingham.
It was that time of the year again! The biggest lab event of the year and we were proud to be returning, alongside our Premium Partner Trespa. We showcased scientific surface solutions to future proof and inspire laboratory environments in the UK, through the Trespa® TopLab® range.
Trespa® TopLab® interior panels at Lab Innovations
Trespa have been thinking about tomorrow since 1960. With the Trespa® TopLab® range, the interior panels bring innovation into cleanrooms, laboratories, hospitals, education, and healthcare facilities, through a range of scientific surfaces, engineered to stand the test of time. Prioritising impact, wear, scratch, and chemical resistance, while maintaining an appealing aesthetic.
At Lab Innovations we showcased the complete Trespa® TopLab® product range that is distributed through Performance Panels in the UK, including TopLab® PLUS ALIGN, TopLab® VERTICAL and TopLab® BASE.
With the continuing battle with climate change in mind we want to take a deep dive into how our product range is manufactured with an environmental conscience.

Shaping the future with Trespa® TopLab® PLUS ALIGN
Trespa® TopLab® PLUS ALIGN is a revolutionary compact high pressure laminate (HPL), setting a new standard for laboratory and cleanroom materials. With an innovative core incorporating up to 85% bio-based carbon content, the carbon stored within this surface material surpasses the emissions related to its production. This revolutionary approach provides the market with a more sustainable worktop solution, without compromising performance or durability.
Not only will your next laboratory project deliver on performance, but you will also be using a material that addresses the issue of environmental care, at no additional cost.
This was a must see material whilst attending Lab Innovations.
Better protect the planet with Trespa® TopLab® BASE
Trespa® TopLab® BASE is developed specifically for functional and scientific applications. This durable material is ideal for highly used areas, making it the preferred choice for worktops and cabinetry in sectors such as education, laboratories and institutions.
Not only this, but Trespa® TopLab® BASE is considerate to the environment.

Trespa® TopLab® VERTICAL
Trespa® TopLab® VERTICAL is a visually appealing, durable, high-pressure compact laminate (HPL) designed for interior wall cladding solutions. Manufactured using Trespa’s proprietary Electron Beam Curing (EBC) technology ensuring superior surface performance, Trespa® TopLab® VERTICAL offers an attractive and reliable solution for enhancing interior walls.
As featured in our Lab Innovations exhibition stand, we’re proud to showcase the Allface TV800 system. This concealed mechanical fixing system is specifically designed for use with Trespa® TopLab® VERTICAL panels. The bespoke pairing brings to market an all-in-one solution with outstanding performance, longevity, and ease of use.
Live Lab Presentation on Day 1 of Lab Innovations
On Wednesday 30th October between 12:40 and 13:00 our colleague from Trespa, Holloway, Territory Manager UK, delivered a presentation ‘Trespa® TopLab® | Creating Workspaces for Tomorrow’ on the ‘Live Lab’ stage.
The built environment has a vital role to play in responding to the climate emergency. That’s why Trespa is committed to transparency and accountability in sustainability and is urging the industry to follow suit. With Trespa’s newest surface material, TopLab® Plus Align, Trespa store more carbon within the panel than is emitted during the production process, effectively reducing the carbon footprint of your laboratory bench. Through innovation, technology, and the specification of responsible materials, we can lower greenhouse gas emissions and empower informed decision making within our industry.
How we can support you
By having a dedicated team of Trespa and Performance Panels representatives at the event, we were on hand to offer support and guidance on the Trespa® TopLab® range and applications for future laboratory projects where innovation and sustainability are of most importance.
