Epoxy flooring is a versatile solution for schools, commercial buildings, and healthcare centers. Epoxy surfacing is particularly popular in educational facilities.

Educational institutions from primary school to colleges have flooring requirements that must fit design standards for usability, durability, and sustainability. Schools have a high amount of foot traffic, meaning flooring in schools must be easy to clean, tough enough to constant wear and tear, and have a non-slip coating.

Some considerations for epoxy surfacing in schools include:

–       Design including colours, patterns, and logos

–       Safety standards

–       Cleaning schedules

–       Any specific usage needs

–       The surfacing schedule permitted

Flooring throughout an education institution may change. For instance, labs might have different flooring needs than a gymnasium or an auditorium. Epoxy floors are very versatile. This surfacing choice can reduce noises that are disruptive to learning and keep students safe with fire retardant qualities to prevent building systems and elements from catching fire, all while having a clean aesthetic appeal.

The appeal must also meet the visual standards of the school. This flooring appeal may mean including, colours, textures, or patterns to showcase the institution’s branding and personality.  

There are a variety of epoxy flooring solutions available for schools. These variations are customizable from any stage in the application. Your school can have a unique look that fits the school’s theme and logo. This can make the design of the school more flattering and induce creativity through interior design as students, faculty, and parents move through the space.  

Whether the job is big or small, new construction or a restoration job, having an industry-standard finish will ensure the flooring job is safe. This includes ensuring coating, mixing, bonding, and curing are done correctly. We use a 5-tier coating system to ensure you get the floor you want and to deliver the quality you expect and more.

Our jobs come with a warranty, and you can learn more about that when you contact us.

4. Safety

Epoxy floors are highly durable because of their fire-retardant qualities and moisture impervious qualities. This means function systems stay protected and potentially costly spills and be cleaned up. Also, smart epoxy flooring design can be used to lead people to the nearest exit in emergency situations. We are happy to provide recommendations on design and functionality.

5. Lifespan and durability 

When epoxy is applied by a professional, it can be highly resistant to high foot traffic, and most other wear and tare including, abrasions, chips, and discoloring. Moreover, there is greater concern over sustainable design and building practices. Epoxy is a long-lasting solution that meets many sustainable design criteria. 

6. Sanitary

Unlike many other flooring options, epoxy floors do not absorb moisture and easy to clean. This means bacteria is not collected in hard-to-reach place. Germs can be easily wiped away, especially in common eating areas, like cafeterias.

Having a professional come in and asses the location can ensure that the surfacing job is applied on a schedule that fits the needs of the school and considers all your options. We have several flooring options you can choose from. You can have a look at what these options look like in our gallery and learn more in our product page.
