Solid Grade Laminate two-door lockers finished in a three-way colour scheme comprising aqua blue, aquamarine and powder blue, were selected by the school.

'To overcome this we had to manufacture a bespoke half unit for two areas so as to avoid windows and fit into alcoves,' explained Joeri.

'Where the new building joined the old, we also had to deal with an exceptional slope, which required using extra long adjustable feet on the lockers.

We also used support frames to overcome skirting and pipes,' The Solid Grade Laminate lockers offered the robust and secure storage that is required at a school due to constant The specified doors eed to have a hard wearing surface that is difficult to scratch or vandalise.
