Where Learning Begins with Colour
Dynamic, full of energy and the motivation to learn, primary schools need to be safe, comfortable and inspiring. They also need to be bright to spark the imagination of young minds.
Fleetwood Paints don’t just brighten rooms, they light up young minds too.
Working with educational leaders
Fleetwood is a trusted brand among educational leaders, thanks to their commitment to sustainable manufacturing processes, a huge choice of colours, and paints that represent the latest in cutting-edge technology.
Hard-wearing, durable paints withstand everything that active kids can throw at them, from scratches and scuffs to spills.
Maintenance cycles based on robust, scrubbable paints mean more time teaching and less time cleaning
Bringing colour into primary schools
Young children love colour and embrace bright, bold tones. If you’re starting your educational journey, you don’t want to do it surrounded by bland beige and dull greys. So colour palettes for primary schools tend to be brighter and more vibrant.
Younger children respond better to bright and cheerful colours that reflect their energy levels. However, it’s important not to overstimulate children so that they can learn to focus, too.
So the key for a successful interior in primary schools is to strike a balance between bold, vibrant tones and lighter, neutral or pastel shades to introduce a more calming element into the mix.
Classrooms and Nurseries
High footfall and a chance of spills and scuffs means that any coating used in a primary school classroom has to be durable, as well as low-VOC and low-odour.
We recommend Fleetwood Air + Eco, which also actively ‘scrubs’ the air to vastly improve the indoor air quality, as well as Fleetwood Trade Vinyl Matt, a fast-drying, low-odour solution for everyday maintenance.
Toilets
These areas need to be particularly hygienic and easy to clean, so any coating used in primary school toilets needs to be scrub and stain-resistant as well as antibacterial.
Fleetwood Bio Tec paint has inbuilt anti-bacterial properties and is resistant to abrasion and chemical attack.
This makes it the right choice for sensitive areas such as toilets to stop the spread of germs and bacteria such as MRSA, E.coli and Salmonella.
Canteens
Facing similar challenges as toilets and changing rooms, canteens also need to be exceptionally clean and hygienic areas to prevent the spread of bacteria.
Fleetwood Bio Tec is the ideal choice for cooking and food preparation areas, while Fleetwood Air + Eco ensures dining areas have exceptional air quality and are also resistant to spills and stains.
Stairwells and corridors
These high-traffic areas need tough, resilient coatings that can withstand constant use.
Fleetwood Trade Vinyl Matt is a cost-effective and practical solution, while Fleetwood Floor Paint is durable enough for continuous use with no degradation in visual quality.
Playgrounds and railings
Exposed to the elements constantly, playgrounds and railings need coatings that can withstand the harshest environments.
Fleetwood Weather Guard with its Triple Lock System is the natural choice, offering stain-resistant and durable coating that comes with an 18-year guarantee to reduce the maintenance cycle and cut costs.
