St Johns Primary School, a new
build school in Sheldon, Co Durham opened its doors
this year complete with Tarkett Marley Floors’
safety floors fitted throughout all the wet areas.
Barry Wilkinson, Director of Proctor Flooring Ltd
said, “Tarkett’s floor coverings were specified for
the project because they offer a good selection of
colours suitable for the school environment. The
safety ranges also perform to a high standard which
met the clients’ requirement. They also offer good
value for money and from a contractor’s point of
view they are very easy to work with.”
Tarkett’s Granit Multisafe is a highly proven
studded safety floorcovering and so it was the first
choice for the disabled toilet, an area in the
school where safety is of paramount importance.
Granit Multisafe has been specially designed to
offer optimum safety underfoot in wet areas, with a
construction that provides a good grip for feet. The
dense, impermeable surface and the well-rounded
studs also mean Granit Multisafe is hygienic and
easy to clean.
In the children’s and staff toilets and in the wet
areas around the sinks in each classroom Safetred
Spectrum PU was installed. In these areas it was
important to have a heavy duty slip resistant
flooring which was attractive and complemented the
décor of the classroom and surrounding floorcovering.
Recommended for use in heavy traffic areas, Safetred
Spectrum PU is a slip resistant, heavy-duty
decorative chip effect floorcovering with PU
protection, which is available in a choice of 20
contemporary colours.
In addition to a 10-year guarantee, the flooring
also has good environmental credentials as it
contains 25% recycled material, thus reducing the
depletion of virgin raw materials in manufacture and
the lower ongoing maintenance requirements resulting
from the PU protection reduces energy, water and
detergent consumption.
