The Key Benefits of Resin Flooring for Educational Facilities
Did you know there’s not a one-size-fits-all solution for flooring solutions? Different buildings have different specifications, and when it comes to educational facilities, there are quite a few. But the good news is that resin flooring is perfect for the demands of busy schools and universities.

Why Resin Floors Are Exceptional in Educational Facilities
Ideal for diverse spaces in schools
Educational facilities have a range of different spaces, including labs, classrooms, sports areas and cafeterias where heavy footfall is common on a daily basis.
Resin flooring can work well in all these areas because of its ability to withstand ongoing heavy wear and tear; it’s long-lasting and hard wearing.
Epoxy flooring is durable
Some flooring can be affordable and attractive but is better suited to smaller spaces and homes. On the other hand, resin is designed to last, making it an excellent solution for busy environments such as schools where people are present each day.
It’s resistant to impact, abrasion and wear, making it perfect for corridors, stairways and assembly spaces. The tough nature of epoxy resin means it’s a smart long-term investment for institutions that need reliable flooring.
Easy to keep clean
Schools and educational environments require regular cleaning to ensure health and safety standards are met and ensure student and staff well-being are looked after. The floors receive their fair share of action, from science lab spills, food stains and general marks from muddy shoes after sports day and so on. This can be especially problematic on types of floors that are carpeted or tiled, for example.
Resin flooring, however, doesn’t have grout or lines where germs can fester, making it a hygienic solution. It’s also fast and simple to keep clean with warm water and a low-alkaline solution.
The low-maintenance nature of resin flooring means it is an ideal solution for busy educational environments where health and safety are a priority.
Resin flooring can enhance the safety of a facility.
Depending on the educational facility, there’s a good chance of kids running around. Since it’s not always designated for sports areas, anti-slip flooring is important.
This is a finish we can apply on top of the resin flooring for an extra layer of safety. It’s also resistant to chemical spills, ideal for art classrooms and labs.
It’s also possible to add line markings for visibility and exit doors, helping ensure important areas and exits are clear.
Highly customisable with a range of finishes
One of the biggest benefits of resin flooring is that it’s highly customisable with a range of colour options, patterns, and finishes, including marbling, mixing colours, or a simple matt design.
It can match the school’s branding or separate designated areas by colour-coding the flooring. It’s perfect for creating a modern, inviting and fun space, all while enhancing safety.
A sustainable flooring choice
Since resin flooring is so durable, it can last up to 10 years or more with proper care. This means fewer replacements, a higher return on investment, and less waste.
Resin Flooring is a Wise Long-Term Investment
Resin flooring isn’t just tough, it’s also a flexible solution that can help meet safety regulations while adding colour and personality to nurseries, schools, colleges, and universities!
