Custom Laboratory Furniture
Laboratory casework, benches and fume hoods built to your specifications — in the material, colour, size and configuration your work demands.
No two laboratories work the same way, so your furniture shouldn’t be off the shelf. As an authorized distributor of ICI Scientific, Lab Setup America gives you access to one of America’s most flexible laboratory furniture manufacturers.
ICI Scientific engineers custom casework and fume hoods to your specifications and builds them in its own plants in Tennessee. From the material and colour of every cabinet to the height of every bench, we help you design furniture that fits your space, your workflow and your budget.

Process
How a Custom Project Works
- Consultation: Tell us about your research, equipment, chemicals and space.
- Layout and 3D renderings: We prepare layouts and 3D renderings, with CAD and BIM files for your architect.
- Samples and selections: Review physical colour, finish and material samples and confirm hardware and options.
- Engineering and manufacture: ICI Scientific engineers and builds your furniture in its US plants.
- Delivery and installation: We coordinate delivery and installation with your construction schedule.
- Support: Field-convertible components make future changes simple; we remain your point of contact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Custom furniture questions.
Can you match our institution’s colours?
Yes. Choose from more than 15 standard steel colours, combine two colours, or send us a sample and ICI Scientific will match it. Custom colours may carry an additional charge.
Can you build cabinets to non-standard sizes?
Yes. Standard sizes cover most layouts, and ICI Scientific engineers casework and fume hoods to your drawings when they don’t.
What if our lab changes later?
CornerStone steel casework is field-convertible: door and drawer styles, drawer suspension and rails can be changed with simple hand tools. Adaptable systems such as Envision and FlexCore can be moved and reconfigured by your own staff.
Can we see samples before we order?
Yes. Ask us for colour, finish and material samples during the design stage.
