Epoxy Flooring for Schools.

Schools, universities, TAFEs and other educational facilities are some of the busiest environments you’re likely to come across. Over the years, thousands of students and staff members pass through their halls of each, bringing relentless foot traffic and activity. Epoxy flooring for schools is the solution that’s strong enough to last for years, even decades, without being worn down. 

The Sunshine Coast’s original same-day epoxy flooring installers, Epoxy Flooring Projects has been providing both residential and commercial epoxy flooring solutions across the South East Queensland region for more than 35 years. Over that time, we’ve seen the challenges that schools face and how to address them while staying within your funding budget. With a rapid install  approach that works around your schedule and reduces downtime, we can provide the most reliable, efficient epoxy flooring for schools available to the many educational facilities throughout this region. 

Benefits of epoxy flooring for schools

Stylish, seamless and low-maintenance, epoxy is a material appropriate for and widely used in all kinds of environments. Some of the most significant advantages of epoxy flooring for schools include:

Durability

‍Schools and other educational facilities are bustling hubs of activity. It’s not just foot traffic that can eventually wear out a less sturdy form of flooring. It’s scraping chairs, moving tables, unexpected spills and rigorous cleaning schedules. These activities take their toll on most forms of flooring, but epoxy is resilient enough to weather them with minimal damage. With the right care and maintenance, a quality epoxy floor can last for 20 years or more. 

Ease of cleaning

Epoxy is simple to clean with some basic cleaning products and materials. Because it’s non-porous, spills don’t have the chance to settle in and turn into unsightly stains. A simple clean and the floor of your school looks as good as new again, ready for another day of activity. 

Anti-slip properties

From gymnasiums to primary school corridors, educational facilities have all kinds of environments where young people are on the move. Epoxy flooring for schools is available with anti-slip properties that reduce the risk of accidents from rushing around the place. 

Versatile and cost-effective

Epoxy floors have a clean, simple and elegant look that can blend into all kinds of environments without looking out of place. They’re cost-effective, easy to customise and can save you a lot of money in repairs over the years. 

‍Reduces the heat island effect

Surfaces like concrete and asphalt retain heat, making the whole area hotter than a natural landscape would be. Epoxy flooring reduces this heat build-up, making the environment more comfortable for both students and staff. 

Areas of schools and universities that epoxy flooring benefits

What are some areas of a school, university or other educational facility that can benefit from epoxy flooring the most? Epoxy flooring’s advantages are useful for the following locations:

Science labs

‍Epoxy flooring is resistant to chemical damage and easy to clean, making it the perfect fit for chemistry labs and science classrooms. You can clean up most chemical spills quickly and easily without running the risk of permanent damage. 

Art classes

‍Art classes can get messy, especially in primary school environments. But if you spill paint on an epoxy floor, it’s easy to clean right off. 

Corridors

‍Your school’s halls are among its busiest areas, and after a Brisbane downpour, students walk dirt, mud and other debris through them. These areas become wet and slippery, becoming an accident (and a potential legal nightmare) waiting to happen. Epoxy floors make the environment safer by being easy to clean as well as available with non-slip finishes. 

‍Gymnasiums

School and university gyms and sports halls take beatings, from dropped weights to balls slammed hard into the ground. Epoxy flooring can take this kind of regular punishment without breaking, it provides shock absorption to reduce stress on players’ joints and it’s easy to customise with court marking, logos or school colours.  

Outdoor areas

Epoxy flooring is solar reflective and non-slip, making for more comfortable play areas and outdoor spaces.
