Laboratory furnishing, laboratory installation and laboratory renovation from one source
Hornik supports universities, research institutions, pharmaceutical companies and industrial companies with the furnishing, installation and modernization of demanding laboratory environments. We support laboratory projects from technical coordination, procurement and delivery through to professional installation and handover.
New laboratory rooms, extensions, modernizations or the installation of complete laboratory furnishings? The focus is on practical workstations, clean interfaces, reliable project handling and a solution that fits everyday laboratory work.
One page for furnishing, installation and modernization
Laboratory projects are rarely made up only of individual furniture items or an isolated installation service. In practice, laboratories need to be planned, equipped, delivered, installed, checked and often integrated into existing building or laboratory structures.
That is why Hornik brings laboratory furnishing, laboratory installation and laboratory renovation together on one service page. For customers, this means fewer interfaces, clear coordination and implementation that considers technical requirements, room characteristics and later use together.
We support both new laboratory areas and the modernization of existing laboratories. Depending on the project, we take care of furnishing new rooms, installing delivered laboratory furnishings, installation work, adjustments in existing facilities and the coordination of relevant inspection and handover points.
What we handle for laboratory projects
Laboratory furnishing
Good laboratory furnishing has to do more than look good. It must support workflows, provide sufficient storage space, meet technical requirements and remain durable over the long term.
Hornik supports the furnishing of laboratory rooms with functional workstations, laboratory furniture, storage solutions and suitable furnishing components.
We do not look at individual aspects alone, but at the entire laboratory area, from use, room structure, work routes, storage areas, utilities supply and equipment environment through to future expandability.
- Furnishing of new laboratory rooms
- Laboratory furniture and workstations
- Storage and shelving systems
- Equipment, utensils, chemicals
Laboratory installation
Laboratory installation requires careful work, technical precision and reliable coordination on site. Hornik installs laboratory furnishings for new builds, conversions and modernizations.
Depending on the project, this also includes installation work as well as electrical and plumbing checks with documentation.
Structured installation is especially important in university and research projects, where many rooms, different trades and tight schedules often come together.
- Installation of complete laboratory furnishings
- Installation of laboratory workstations and storage solutions
- Installation work according to project requirements
- Electrical and plumbing checks including documentation
- Coordination with project management, site management and other parties involved
Laboratory renovation and modernization
Existing laboratories often need to be adapted to new requirements. Reasons can include changed workflows, new equipment, higher safety requirements, more storage space, better usability or outdated furnishings.
During a laboratory renovation, Hornik works with you to review which elements should continue to be used, adapted or replaced.
The goal is a modern laboratory environment that works technically, uses the available space sensibly and integrates as well as possible into existing processes.
- Modernization of existing laboratory rooms
- Replacement or addition of laboratory furnishings
- Adaptation to new workflows
- Integration of new components into existing structures
- Installation and technical coordination in existing facilities
For which projects is Hornik the right partner?
Hornik is particularly well suited to laboratory projects where technical coordination, installation expertise and experience with demanding research and university environments are important.
Colleges and universities
University projects require robust, functional and long-lasting laboratory environments. Teaching, research and project laboratories have to meet different requirements while also working well in everyday use. Hornik supports the furnishing and installation of these laboratory areas.
Research institutions
Research institutions need laboratory rooms that enable precise work, interdisciplinary use and technical flexibility. Accurate interfaces between furnishings, equipment, utilities and room structure are crucial.
Pharma and life science
In pharmaceutical and life science environments, reliable processes, clean documentation and stable technical implementation are especially important. Hornik supports laboratory areas where furnishing, installation and inspection processes need to be carefully coordinated.
Industry and development
Industrial companies use laboratories for quality assurance, product development, testing and internal research. Here, laboratory furnishing and installation must be designed for practical use, durability and efficient workflows.

What suits your project?
New laboratory furnishing
New laboratory furnishing makes sense when laboratory rooms are being newly created, extended or completely refitted. In this case, the focus is on workstations, storage space, equipment environment, utilities, usability and a clear room structure.
Suitable for: new builds, extensions, new research areas, new teaching laboratories
Laboratory installation
Laboratory installation is the right focus when furnishing components have already been planned or delivered and reliable on-site installation is needed. This can include installation work, inspections and documentation.
Suitable for: new-build projects, university projects, larger installation phases, handover preparation
Laboratory renovation
Laboratory renovation makes sense when existing rooms are to be modernized, restructured or adapted to new requirements. Existing conditions, use, technical requirements and later workflows are considered together.
Suitable for: modernization, conversion, new work processes, replacement of outdated furnishings
What matters in planning
Successful laboratory implementation begins with a complete clarification of requirements. Before furniture is ordered or installation services are planned, use, room structure, workflows and technical interfaces should be coordinated.
The earlier these points are clarified, the more reliably planning, delivery, installation and handover can be coordinated.
Important questions include:
- Which laboratory areas are to be furnished or modernized?
- Which user groups will later work in the laboratory?
- Which equipment, utilities and connections need to be considered?
- What work surfaces, storage areas and safety requirements are needed?
- Are there fixed construction periods, handover dates or dependencies on other trades?
- Do installation work, inspections or documentation need to be planned?
- Will work be carried out in existing facilities or is it a new build?
- Which project areas need to be coordinated with site management, laboratory planning or specialist trades?
