Why is flooring in schools so important?
Flooring refurbs are often pushed to the bottom of the to-do list for the education sector, we know there is an unmet need – think of all those old and tired floors in your local schools and community centres. We believe quality flooring improves the health and wellbeing of Kiwi kids. Flooring can deliver a positive result in an educational setting and benefits learning environments in a number of ways, including:
Acoustics
The correct type of flooring improves acoustics and can reduce external noise such as children playing outside, neighbouring classrooms and traffic which can be distracting for students needing to concentrate in a learning environment.
Insulation
Flooring also helps the temperature of the classroom as it works as an insulator.
Comfort
It is important that students (and teachers) are comfortable sitting and moving around the classroom. From sitting on the floor, to standing and sitting at a desk, new flooring provides cushioning, removing distractions caused by feeling uncomfortable.
Safety
Slips and falls are a leading cause of injury in schools. New flooring provides better traction, reducing the likelihood of frequent falls and potential injuries.
Aesthetics
New Flooring provides colour, pattern, texture and vibrancy to a space.
Maintenance
Modern, properly installed flooring is easier to maintain and lowers cleaning and operating costs.
