Royal Road Primary School required a flooring refurbishment that would seamlessly integrate with the existing design elements, particularly the accent cabinet colours in each of the classrooms. The primary focus was to create an environment that supports both functionality and aesthetics, ensuring that the flooring products chosen would not only complement the existing design but also withstand the daily wear and tear of a busy school environment.

The school opted for the Works for Education Collection Carpet Tiles and Step Repeat SR999 Entry Matting. These products were selected for their cost-effectiveness, versatility in colour options, and suitability for educational settings. The Works for Education Collection is known for its extensive colour range, which made it easy to find options that matched the existing cabinet colours perfectly. Additionally, these products are always available in New Zealand stock, ensuring a quick turnaround for the project.

In an educational environment, it's near impossible to prevent dirt and spills, which is why Interface carpet tiles incorporate Intersept® and Protekt® technologies. These features extend the life of the flooring, offering protection from microbes, stains, and spills, while maintaining indoor air quality. Intersept® protects against viruses, bacteria, and mold, and Protekt® ensures each tile is soil and stain-resistant due to its non-absorbent yarn.

The flooring refurbishment at Royal Road Primary School successfully met the brief by combining aesthetic appeal with practical, long-lasting solutions. Since the installation, both the school and the architect have expressed their satisfaction with the final result. The flooring not only complements the existing design but also meets the practical needs of the school environment, offering durability and ease of maintenance. The positive feedback from both the school and the architect highlights the effectiveness of the product choices and the thoughtful execution of the project, creating an inspiring and functional environment for students.
