Trestle Topper

Durable retrofit trestle toppers that eliminate carpet, reduce damage, and simplify workshop cleaning.

Trestle Topper is a retrofit polymer trestle surface designed to replace traditional carpet-covered benches in window and joinery workshops. Unlike carpet, swarf does not embed in the surface, making it easier to see, clean, and maintain a consistent work area. Adhesives, sealants, and rubbers peel off when dry or wipe away when wet, helping keep benches flat, clean, and fit for purpose over time. Supplied cut to length, Trestle Topper retrofits directly onto existing timber or steel trestles, making it a simple upgrade for window fabricators, aluminium joinery workshops, and glass or frame assembly areas.

Retrofit, Don’t Replace

Installs directly onto existing timber or steel trestles, upgrading your work surface without rebuilding benches or changing layouts.

Protects Joinery Surfaces

Non-marking polymer prevents scratches and damage, with a soft surface that supports heavy frames without hard contact.

Cleaner Benches, Less Downtime

Swarf rolls off the raised, ribbed surface and is easy to remove, keeping benches usable without constant cleaning or carpet changes.

Lower Ongoing Workshop Costs

Eliminates carpet replacement and reduces rework from damaged frames, delivering a fast payback with simple per-metre pricing.
