A new digital tool created by Gerflor and Gradus aims to take the risk out of specifying products across the multiple areas that make up an education building.
David Collins‑Lafferty, Marketing Manager at from Gerflor, comments: “When specifying interior solutions for education environments, there are multiple products to consider, as well as many factors driving the specification. So, the challenge is finding solutions that deliver a specification which balances performance, aesthetics and cost.”
“Our education specification tool simplifies the whole process. It reduces the time required to look through multiple products instead presenting a succinct range of recommended products per area. These products are perfectly tailored to deliver the desired performance and aesthetics based on the function of the area, and furthermore the products presented suit a range of budgets.”
By breaking down the building into digestible areas and functions – from corridors and stairs to classrooms and kitchens – the key considerations and most effective products for that area are presented for selection. With clear visualisations of each zone, the tool also makes it possible to ensure that the products you choose are not only right for your needs, but also complement each other visually.
In schools, the key areas to ensure safety and performance, as well as aesthetics are corridors and stairs which are spaces where slips, trips and falls will commonly occur. The tool cleverly presents a selection of resilient flooring and carpet solutions for these crucial areas, including the high-performance Gerflor Mipolam Affinity vinyl flooring for heavy-duty traffic; Taralay Impression Control safety flooring; Gradus XT stair edgings, which provide the ultimate solution for reducing slips, trips and falls on stairs. Market-leading Gradus wall cladding solutions, including SureProtect Endure offer a durable, protective layer for vulnerable walls in high-traffic areas.
Gerflor and Gradus have a fusion of products including flooring, flooring accessories, barrier matting and wall protection solutions to successfully support education specification across all areas of the building and project. Now, with the launch of this new interactive specification tool, it’s never been quicker and easier to make the right choices for your needs.
