Types of Flooring For Education
Selecting the appropriate flooring for educational settings is essential, as it impacts safety, durability, maintenance, and the overall learning environment.
Here are some commonly used flooring types we commonly install for schools, colleges and other education centres:
Luxury Vinyl Tiles
LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tiles) is a fantastic option for educational establishments. LVT mimics the appearance of natural materials like wood or stone while offering durability and ease of maintenance. Moreover, it’s water-resistant and available in various designs, making it suitable for classrooms, hallways, and cafeterias.
Key benefits and features:
- Aesthetic appeal: LVT flooring allows for creative design choices, enabling the mixing and matching of colors to create vibrant and stimulating educational spaces. Get in touch for more information.
- Noise Reduction: The composition of LVT contributes to sound absorption, reducing noise levels in classrooms and corridors, which enhances concentration and the overall learning experience.
- Comfort: A further key benefit is the slightly cushioned surface of LVT adds a level of comfort underfoot, beneficial for areas where students and staff stand for extended periods.
Rubber Flooring
Another commonly installed type of flooring for the education sector is rubber flooring. This is Ideal for areas requiring slip resistance and shock absorption. Rubber flooring is commonly used in gymnasiums and hallways to provide comfort for students and also to maximise health and safety.
Key benefits and features:
- Slip Resistance: Rubber flooring offers excellent slip resistance, even when wet, ensuring safer movement throughout educational facilities including schools, colleges, and universities.
- Noise Reduction: Its sound-absorbing properties help minimise distracting noises, creating a more focused and conducive learning atmosphere for students within the school or education centre.
- Safety: Providing a cushioned surface, rubber flooring helps reduce the risk of injuries from slips, trips, and falls, enhancing overall safety within the school premises which is particularly important for young children.
Carpet Tiles
Commercial carpet tiles for schools are versatile and allow for easy replacement of damaged sections. They also provide acoustic benefits, reducing noise levels in classrooms and libraries which provides a better learning environment for students seeking extra-quiet studying time before assessments or exams.
Key benefits and features:
- Design Versatility: Carpet tiles are available in a wide array of colours, patterns, and textures, enabling customisation to suit various educational settings. Carpet tiles can be tailored to different age groups and suitable aesthetics.
- Comfort Underfoot: The resilience and slight cushioning of rubber flooring provide a comfortable surface for standing and walking, which is beneficial for teachers and staff who spend extended periods on their feet.
- Resistance to Chemicals: Rubber flooring is resistant to various chemicals, including those commonly found in school laboratories, making it a durable choice for science classrooms and labs.
Sports Flooring
PolySport 67 flooring is an excellent choice when it comes to sports flooring for sports halls, gyms, or activity centres. Rubber floor coverings can also be added for additional health and safety measures particularly for primary school students.
Key benefits and features:
- Shock Absorption: Quality sports flooring systems are designed to absorb impact, reducing stress on students’ joints and minimising the risk of injuries. This feature is crucial in activities involving high-impact movements.
- Enhanced Traction: Sports floors provide superior grip, preventing slips and falls. This ensures students and sports participants can move confidently, making quick turns and stops without losing footing.
