Shaping Educational Spaces with Colour and Care
From tots to teenagers, primary schools to secondary schools, student accommodation and universities, creating the right environment can nurture young minds. Using a bespoke approach to colour selection and product durability ensures children of all ages are surrounded by an inspiring environment on their education journey.
At Fleetwood Paints, we’re part of that journey, working with educational institutions to create diverse, stimulating surroundings that encourage our young people to embrace learning in a truly special environment.
Creating a place for learning – how colour plays a role
The days of dull, dowdy and uninspiring classrooms are over, thanks to Fleetwood Paints. Bringing colour into educational settings creates the right environment for focused study, growth, and personal development. When inspired, young people can achieve incredible things.
Certain colours are well known for their ability to create a stimulating environment that can encourage new ideas and also aid in helping young people focus on their studies.
Colours can also be utilised as directional indicators, making it easier and far less intimidating for new students to negotiate their way around a large establishment. Anything that makes life easier and less stressful is to be embraced, helping to make the learning experience more enjoyable.
Coupled with practical elements such as durability that minimises the maintenance cycle and anti-bacterial properties that stop bacteria in its tracks and you have the ideal surface coverings for any school, college, university or student accommodation.
Classrooms, halls and corridors
These high-traffic areas are busy all day, every day. That makes them vulnerable to increased scuffs, scratches from bags, knocks and spills. To combat these challenges, Fleetwood Air + Eco Washable Matt is the ideal choice.
With built-in air purification technology that actively improves the indoor air quality, this technologically advanced paint also reduces air pollutants such as formaldehyde and others by up to 80%.
Its tough, durable surface is abrasion and chemical resistant, making it easy to clean time and time again with no degradation in the surface finish. Include Fleetwood gloss and satinwood finishes for trim, and you have a dynamic interior that looks better for longer, from floor to ceiling.
Changing rooms
Keeping kids active involves creating sanitary changing rooms where they can feel comfortable and confident. However, changing rooms often suffer from limited ventilation and condensation issues.
To combat these tough problems, as well as providing a tough, resilient surface that can be regularly deep-cleaned, Fleetwood Pro-Clean Washable & Anti-fungal Matt paint offers a solution.
Scrubbable, with an anti-fungal ingredient that stops mould in its tracks, it’s the perfect choice for school gym and pool changing rooms.
Canteens
These high-traffic areas need coatings and paints that are both resilient and easy to keep clean.
Fleetwood’s technologically advanced Bio-Tec Anti-Bacterial Coating is the practical solution.
Not only does it prevent the growth of bacteria such as E.coli and Salmonella, but it is also scrubbable and resistant to scuffs, scratches and spills.
The low-odour, low-VOC formula effectively cleans the air without any unpleasant ‘new paint’ smells.
Corridors and hallways
One of the busiest areas in any educational establishment, corridors and hallways need tough coatings that will resist dirt, damage and wear and tear.
Fleetwood floor coatings, along with Trade Vinyl Matt, offer a simple, easy and long-lasting solution that also minimises decorating maintenance schedules and saves money.
