School Laboratory Flooring

Many educational buildings, including primary schools, secondary schools, universities and postgraduate institutions, have laboratories where students and educators come together to explore the fundamentals of science and experiment with cutting-edge techniques. Part of maintaining a safe and productive school laboratory environment involves designing the space with safety, cleanliness and hygiene in mind—starting with the floor. Installing seamless resin flooring that is durable and hygienic as well as aesthetically pleasing is ideal for promoting a safe and clean learning and teaching environment.

Durable and Chemical Resistant Flooring for School Laboratories

Science is messy—and school laboratories must be designed to withstand messy, destructive conditions without showing signs of damage. For example, students frequently spill chemicals, water, acids, alkalis, salts or other powders or liquids during science experiments or research projects, which can stain or erode an unprotected floor surface. Additionally, the flooring in school laboratories experiences constant foot traffic on a daily basis as well as impacts, abrasions, scuffs and scrapes from falling objects, heavy machinery and everyday occurrences that go hand in hand with large numbers of students.

Sherwin-Williams high performance flooring systems are extremely durable and strong, maintaining the surface even when exposed to damage from foot traffic, spills, stains or scrapes. Our line of school laboratory flooring is also resistant to a wide range of chemicals. When spills happen and floors are exposed to corrosive or hazardous chemicals, Sherwin-Williams protective flooring systems prevent chemicals, powders or liquids from leaving stains or causing permanent damage.

Easy-to-Clean and Hygienic School Laboratory Flooring That Meets Safety Requirements

Laboratories in educational buildings—from primary and secondary schools to universities and postgraduate institutions—require flooring that is easy to clean and sanitise. Depending on the typical activities of the school laboratory, it may also be beneficial to install flooring that prevents the growth of microbes and bacteria to help maintain a hygienic learning and teaching environment.

Our flooring solutions are easy to clean and provide a seamless finish. While other types of flooring have grouts, joints or crevices where dirt, dust and grime can accumulate, Sherwin-Williams floors eliminate these hiding spots and make it easy to sweep up or mop any spills. Optional antimicrobial properties provide further hygienic and safety features, and customizable levels of slip resistance are available that will help prevent slip-and-fall accidents, even in wet, messy laboratory conditions.
