How do I protect a U-shaped desk surface from scratches and damage?

Surface protection for commercial U-desks at OfficeFurniture2go.com starts with specifying the right surface material for the application. High-use commercial laminate surfaces (HPL — High Pressure Laminate) have a durability rating of 15–20 years; thermally fused laminate (TFL) is less durable. Beyond material selection, we recommend 3mm edge-banded surfaces (resistant to moisture intrusion), desk pad coverage on the primary keyboard and mouse zone, and felt bases on all equipment. Commercial desk pads in 24"x48" or custom sizes are available through our accessories catalog. Call 1-800-460-0858.
