QMP’s vast range of workbenches features a wide choice of workbench worktops.
This ensures that your workplace can select the perfect worktop that will best suit the needs of your business.

Why is choosing the right workbench worktop so important?

Depending on the purpose of the workbench in your workplace, there could be risks and safety concerns to your employees. Ensuring you choose the right worktop will greatly reduce that risk.

Choosing the right worktop will be more productive, last longer and ultimately save you money. You will not have to replace the workbench so quickly and it will be a lot more efficient.

So which workbench worktops do you choose?
Our helpful guide takes a look at each worktop.

MFC

MFC which stands for Melamine Faced Chipboard is a cost-effective worktop that is better suited for lighter and general use.
Although a hard-wearing worktop, MFC can chip so it’s ideal for lighter duty jobs but remains very durable and safe for users.
