Schools, colleges, and educational facilities frequently have a wide variety of flooring requirements. The floor you’ll need in your school toilets and kitchen, for instance, is different to what you’ll want in front of house, in your classrooms, and in your sports or assembly hall. Overall, most schools benefit from a flooring solution that is tough enough to withstand daily wear and tear and is simple to clean and maintain, while contributing to an appealing and safe learning environment for your pupils.

Resin flooring – and epoxy and polyurethane systems in particular – offer a comprehensive and modern solution to all these needs. In this article, we will explain how this versatile flooring system can enhance your school environment.

Great Durability For High-Traffic Areas

Schools are generally busy places all day long, with considerable foot traffic in most areas, from active indoor play areas and cloakrooms to bustling hallways and libraries. As a flooring system, therefore, resin is tough enough to withstand everything that your staff and pupils have to throw at it, tolerating heavy daily use, impacts, and spills without showing significant signs of wear over time. Epoxy floor systems and screeds also have a tough enough finish to endure scuffs, scratches, and the movement of heavy equipment long term without incurring damage, making it an excellent choice for entrance ways, laboratories, classrooms alike.

Health And Safety For Your Pupils And Staff

Safety for staff, pupils, and visitors is essential in any educational setting, especially when children move quickly about the school without much concern for slip and trip hazards. This is why many resin floors in primary and secondary schools are treated with a slip resistant finish to give better traction and minimise the risk of accidents in potentially risky areas – such as the school dining hall, toilets, or the entranceway on rainy days. By investing in a specialist safety surface or screed, you can create a safer and more secure environment for all school users. Anti-static floor screed is also available for areas where an electrostatic discharge (ESD) could pose a risk to equipment or safety, such as your school science lab or storage rooms.

Specialist Applications For Educational Spaces

Most educational facilities house diverse spaces that have unique requirements. A bespoke-designed resin flooring system can be tailored to the needs of specific applications and users within your school, for example:

Gymnasium And Sports Areas

A durable and impact-resistant resin surface can handle everyday sports activities, gymnastics, PE equipment, and even school performances without cracking under the pressure!

Cafeteria/Dining

Stain resistant finishes are available to help maintain cleanliness and hygiene in your eating and social areas.

Technology And Workshop Areas

Reinforced screeds and specialist systems are available to ensure your resin flooring holds up under the stress of heavy machinery and the tools often found in vocational training spaces. This makes resin flooring suitable for a range of further education and adult training facilities – e.g. for plumbing, welding, electrotechnical training, and so on – as well as child-focused school environments.
