Interior Design Polysafe flooring helps welcome new pupils Approximately 1200m² of high performance wood-effect safety flooring from UK vinyl flooring manufacturer Polyflor was recently selected for an £8m new build school project, Newton Leys Primary School & Nursery in Milton Keynes. High clarity timber effect Polysafe Wood fx PUR safety flooring in the American Oak design was used throughout the school, in classrooms and around areas where spillages may occur, such as in kitchenettes and children’s sink areas. Polysafe Wood fx PUR offers sustainable wet slip resistance, achieving 36+ on the Pendulum Wet Test with full conformance to HSE Guidelines and the particle based safety flooring standard EN 13845. As a hardwearing commercial safety flooring covering, the Polysafe Wood fx collection is designed to cope with the demands of busy school environments where there are high levels of foot traffic. www.polyflor.com Better acoustic design improves performance Good acoustic design in schools brings positive educational outcomes, and the latest decorative acoustic panelling system from Icopal - Monarfloor® Absorption Panels – will help to do just that; contributing to a healthy sound environment by controlling reverberant noise and complying with the latest Building Regulations, without compromising aesthetics. Suitable for classrooms, canteens, sport halls and other areas throughout a school campus and meeting the Department for Education’s Building Bulletin 93 (BB93) regulations, Icopal’s Monarfloor® Absorption Panels absorb high levels of sound energy within a room. The panels can be specified to partially cover existing walls or ceilings, to create visual contrast, or enhance existing architectural features. For complete design flexibility, the panels are available from stock in a selection of standard sizes and three fabric finishes, in a large range of colours. www.icopal.co.uk Back to the drawing board! In an ingenious adaptation, an IT training room in the Alan Walters Building at Birmingham University features an SWG moveable wall system from Style, that has been installed with the sole purpose of providing an occasional white board. “The room benefits from ample natural light thanks to a wall length window at the front, and the University didn’t want to lose this,” explained Mike Fine, the director for Style in the midlands. “However, they did need to find space for a white board.” To complement the modern interior design of the room, a ‘pure white’ moveable wall was deemed too stark and so a blend of two different tones of brown create a stunning effect. Only the middle section is a writable board where the lecturer can write notes, draw diagrams and communicate with the students. www.style-partitions.co.uk Expona flooring helps refurbished school hall keep its traditional look Wood effect luxury vinyl tiles from Polyflor’s Expona Design PUR collection were the perfect choice of flooring for a school hall refurbishment project at Erskine Stewart’s Melville Schools in Edinburgh. 315m² of Expona Design PUR luxury vinyl tiles in the Walnut design were installed by Forever Flooring of Broxburn, Mid Lothian at the independent school for girls aged 12 to 17. The school hall needed to be refurbished, and as Expona Design flooring was performing well elsewhere in the school, the same luxury vinyl tile range was selected for this space. Erskine Stewart’s Melville Schools commented, “We needed a new floor that would be in keeping with the traditional style of our hall interior and have the look of real wood but would also be durable and easy to maintain. Our Expona Design flooring looks great and delivers on performance.” www.polyflor.com Interface helps create nature-inspired school Situated in the heart of the Forest of Dean, St White’s Primary School wanted to draw on the surrounding landscape to create a nature infused space that would re-connect pupils with the outdoors. The new building combines outdoor play areas and views out onto the forest, with nature inspired fixtures and fittings such as modular flooring from Interface’s collections. In the educational environment specifically, research from Wells & Evans (2003) shows that increased contact with nature can dramatically boost young people’s attention capacity, meaning they are more focused in the classroom and better able to concentrate. Interface’s Human Nature collection, which is inspired by the tactile textures found in the most elemental of floor coverings - forest floors, grassy fields and pebbled garden paths, was the perfect biophilic flooring for this project. http://www.interface.com/EU/en-GB/homepage 12 Summer 2O17 <strong>4150</strong>
