Using Phenolic and Higher Quality Materials for Control Room Console Furniture

April 3, 2023 by Jamie Clark
Proper Control Room Ergonomics

Control room consoles are an integral component of modern industrial facilities. They are used to monitor and control various processes. The console is the work center for the operator, who uses it to interact with the machinery and make decisions based on the information displayed on the console’s screens. Therefore, the choice of materials used in constructing these consoles can significantly impact their durability, functionality, and overall quality. This article will discuss the benefits of using phenolic and higher quality materials for control room console furniture.

Benefits of Phenolic Materials

Phenolic materials are a popular choice for control room consoles because of their durability and resistance to wear and tear. Phenolic materials are highly resistant to scratches, stains, and impact damage. Because of this, they are ideal for use in environments with a lot of foot traffic, spills, and potential impacts. This means they can withstand daily wear and tear without losing their appearance or functionality and are easy to maintain.

In addition to their durability, phenolic materials offer other benefits. They are highly resistant to heat and fire, making them ideal for use in industries with high temperatures and flammable materials. Phenolic materials are also highly resistant to chemical corrosion, which is vital in industries that commonly use chemicals. This makes them a good choice for chemical processing plants and laboratories.

Benefits of Solid Surface Materials

Higher quality materials for control room console furniture, such as solid surface materials, also offer many benefits for construction. Solid surface materials are made of natural minerals and acrylic resin. This makes them highly resistant to scratches, stains, and impact damage. They are also highly resistant to heat and fire, making them ideal for use in industrial environments.

One of the main benefits of solid surface materials is their ability to be molded into any shape or size. Hence, they are highly customizable. This means that control room consoles can be designed to fit the facility’s specific needs. They can be formed with different shapes, sizes, and configurations to suit the operator’s requirements.

Higher quality materials like solid surface materials are also highly resistant to bacterial growth, which is important in industries that require strict hygiene standards, such as food processing and healthcare. In addition, solid surface materials are non-porous, meaning they do not allow bacteria to grow, making them easy to clean and maintain.

In addition to their durability and customization options, higher quality materials like solid surface materials also offer a premium aesthetic appearance. Furthermore, they can be manufactured in a wide range of colors, patterns, and finishes, which means that control room consoles can be designed to match the overall design aesthetic of the facility.

In conclusion, phenolic and higher quality materials for control room consoles have numerous benefits. These materials offer increased durability, resistance to wear and tear, resistance to heat and fire, resistance to bacterial growth, customization options, and an overall premium aesthetic appearance. In addition, by using high-quality materials in the construction of control room consoles, industrial facilities can improve the longevity and functionality of these consoles. This ultimately improves the efficiency and safety of their operations. Contact Fountainhead Control Rooms today to learn more about the different materials available for control room furniture.
