Headlands Primary School in Northampton and St Bartholomews Hospital in London have had the stainless steel worktop installed, which rises over a 20mm distance at the edge to a height of 3mm.
It can be applied to front, rear and side edges and is compatible with other edge profiles and surface finishes available on GEC Anderson worktops. It can be used on stainless steel of both domestic and acid resisting grades.
Martin Tye, GEC Anderson MD, said: 'It provides a practical barrier to stop minor spills, or items rolling off the worktop, that could damage under-sink cupboards or the floor below.'
