Solid Phenolic Window Stools or Sills |Overview
Max Phenolic fabricated and supplied by Total laboratory Solutions and made by a 130 year old company, FunderMax, phenolic window sills are highly resistant to chemicals and staining. No wood core, no edge banding, no expansion / contraction or delamination of the core and surface material provides the ultimate window sill product. Made of solid Compressed Phenolic Compact Resin (SPC) and saturated / impregnated Kraft papers, the edges require no special treatment and can be easily profiled, milled, and polished on the exposed edges with a standard 1/8" (3mm) bevel top and bottom, with eased corners. Typical thickness specified by architects and consultants are 1" (25mm) or 3/4" (19mm).
Colors that match or contrast to the laboratory work surfaces / counter top materials in the lab facility are industry standard black, volcano gray, pastel gray, and white, all with a smooth texture finish, with a black edge core. Other colors are available on special order and will have extended factory production lead times.
Available in a wide variety of profiles to wrap interior and exterior window frames with notch cutouts with rabbet ears, flush to the back or side walls or overhang the sill area in a rectangular profile. Aprons of 2" to 5" (50mm to 125mm) are at times added in the field to cover imperfections of the dry wall, cinder block or other composite wall material. All sills or stools are cut from phenolic resin sheet material in the colors, thickness and profiles required.
The lab market in schools, hospitals, water treatment plants, etc, is demanding quality LEED certified, low VOC solid phenolic resin window stools / stools / aprons that are chemical resistant, lighter weight than epoxy, easier to install, less costly, longer lengths and with color compatibility to counter top materials. When chemicals are emitted in laboratory environments, instructors, students, engineers and all employees require safe and cleanable surfaces. The increased recognition of the solid phenolic's unique qualities plus growing market demand has greatly advanced the use of Max Phenolic Solid-Surfacing Material:
