When school is out, facility maintenance crews move in. As the school year winds down, public districts, private schools, colleges, and universities assess their construction needs. The empty buildings and campuses pose an opportune time to make structural changes within the facilities, including the installation of new commercial flooring systems.
While ease of maintenance and budget are primary factors in the decision-making process, today’s schools account for air quality, sustainability and aesthetics when selecting the appropriate flooring solution. Educational facilities may opt for multiple products to accommodate individual environments. Engineering the right flooring solution requires a thorough understanding of how the space is used.
General Classrooms – A high degree of durability and easy maintenance will uphold the integrity of the floor. With constant foot traffic and the arrangement of desks and equipment, the flooring system should have the strength and stability to withstand chipping, fractures and wear.
Elective Classroom Environments – It’s not uncommon to have science labs, video production areas, and art rooms engineered to withstand environmental impact. No VOC, chemical resistant urethane coatings may be the right choice for these classrooms.
Kitchens, Cafeterias, & Break Rooms – Spaces such as these tend to require more sanitization, slip resistance, and thermal shock protection from high-temperature cleanings, ovens, refrigeration units and similar processing equipment.
Locker Rooms & Showers – Waterproofed epoxy floors engineered with slip or skid resistance is ideal for these spaces. Customized team logos and branded design can also be stenciled in locker rooms and athletic centers greater detail.
Libraries, Common Areas, Offices, & Auditoriums – The floor in these high traffic spaces can vary but all should be durable, easy to clean, and enhance the aesthetics of the surroundings. From colored walkways to speckled or polished epoxy, schools can get their desired look through a customized flooring design.
