Flooring for Schools

For 70 years, Gerflor has furnished schools with flooring that offers a perfect compromise between comfort, resistance to traffic and ease of maintenance.

Thanks to a highly effective range of floor and wall coverings, we offer schools products (PVC or Linoleum) that significantly improve the comfort of students and teachers:

  • Excellent sound insulation (up to 19 dB).
  • Optimum air quality with the lowest VOC levels on the market.
  • Guaranteed safety with foam-backed products for children.
  • An atmosphere conducive to learning thanks to a varied color palette.

Making life easier in institutions

Because schools have to deal with extreme conditions in terms of usage (traffic, dirt, etc.), we have designed floor coverings that make life easier:

  • Good resistance to heavy-duty floor traffic (U3P3/U4P4).
  • Easy maintenance thanks to specific surface treatments applied during manufacture and requiring no metallisation.

Why Flooring in Schools Needs to Be Tough

School floors take a beating. Thousands of feet pass through classrooms, hallways, and common areas every day. Desks scrape across surfaces, spills happen, and maintenance teams need something that won’t take hours to clean. That’s where Gerflor’s school flooring comes in—it needs to be tough, safe, and easy to look after.

Gerflor’s education flooring is designed with schools in mind. It’s durable, slip-resistant, and low-maintenance, making life easier for staff and safer for students.

Why Flooring in Schools Needs to Be Tough

Think about how much wear and tear school floors go through. Between students running to class, furniture being dragged around, and daily cleaning, flooring in schools needs to be able to handle it all.

Durability is key. The right flooring should resist scuffs, scratches, and stains so it still looks good years down the track. Safety matters too. Slips and falls can be a real risk, especially in wet areas like cafeterias and staircases. That’s why Gerflor’s school flooring includes slip-resistant surfaces to reduce hazards.

Schools see a lot of foot traffic, which means dirt, dust, and spills are part of everyday life. The last thing staff need is flooring that’s hard to keep clean. That’s why Gerflor’s education flooring is designed with a smooth, non-porous surface. Messes don’t soak in, and there’s no need for heavy scrubbing. A quick sweep or mop is all it takes to keep things fresh, so classrooms, hallways, and shared spaces stay looking great with minimal effort.

How Education Flooring Improves Learning Spaces

Hard floors can make sound bounce around, making everything seem louder than it actually is. Gerflor’s education flooring absorbs noise, helping to create a calmer, more focused environment.

Comfort is just as important. Teachers and students spend most of the day on their feet, so flooring that provides some support makes a real difference. That’s why schools choose options that feel good underfoot while still being durable enough to handle heavy foot traffic.

Low-Maintenance Vinyl Flooring for Schools

Schools don’t have time for complicated cleaning routines. That’s why vinyl flooring for schools is such a great choice. It’s designed to be low-maintenance, so staff can keep things looking fresh without extra effort.

Spills in the cafeteria? Science lab experiments gone wrong? No problem. This flooring is moisture-resistant, meaning liquids won’t seep in and cause damage. A quick mop and it’s good as new.

Stylish and Functional School Flooring

Gerflor’s vinyl flooring for schoolscomes in a huge range of colours and patterns, so schools can create environments that feel welcoming and inspiring.

While it looks great, it’s also built to last. No one wants to replace flooring every couple of years, and with Gerflor, they won’t have to. These floors hold up under daily use, keeping classrooms and corridors looking neat with minimal effort.
