Key Considerations When Choosing School Flooring

Selecting school flooring can be extremely challenging. From health and safety considerations to cost, here are just a few things to take into account before making your decision.

Health & Safety

When looking for the right school flooring, health and safety should be a key consideration. By selecting a non-slippery surface you can minimise the risk of slips, trips and falls, while an easy-to-clean surface will help you abide by hygiene standards.

The last thing you want is school flooring that gets dirty really quickly or takes hours to clean.

Installation

Unless you’re carrying out your renovations during the school holidays, you’ll probably need a type of flooring that’s quick and easy to install. That way you can keep disruption to a minimum and carry on with lessons as usual.

If you’re looking for flooring which can be easily replaced due to wear and tear, tiled carpet could be ideal. Since individual tiles can be replaced rather than the whole carpet, it’s easy to install and there’s no need to remove every piece of furniture to make way for your carpet fitter.

Appearance

Although safety, practicality and durability are likely to be your main priorities, the appearance of your flooring does play a role too. Whether you’re redecorating a classroom or looking for ways to make the library more bright and inspiring, selecting the right flooring can be a great way to transform an old space.

Cost 

Faced with tight budgets and limitations, the cost of school flooring is likely to be one of your main priorities. But although you may prefer to devote as much money as possible to new computers and sports equipment, avoid going for the cheapest flooring option you can find.

Really cheap flooring may end up costing you more in the long run. It could cause more accidents, be a nightmare to clean, and last years’ less than flooring that’s made to stand the test of time.
