British Paralympic Association boosted by Gerflor
Leading sports flooring specialist, Gerflor, has selected the British Paralympic Association as the chosen charity which will benefit from all sorts of fundraising activities in 2006.
With some of the school buildings dating back to the 1930s, much of the school has been changed and updated over the years in order to meet modern teaching requirements.
In this instance, Gerflor was commissioned to work on a project to change an art room into a combined science laboratory and IT suite, as well as creating a classroom for general teaching and for dining.
The school selected Tarasafe Style in Kiwi and Avocado for the 80m science laboratory, IT suite, the 40m multifunctional classroom and dining room.
Roger Osborne, Deputy Headmaster at Cowplain Community School, commented on the choice of flooring for the science lab: "We chose a slip-resistant, safety flooring for the area as we use a number of chemicals and water in our experiments".
"Tarasafe met our requirements exactly".
Tarasafe is a slip-resistant flooring that incorporates tough carborundum particles into the material for life-long protection.
The product is also reinforced with a non-woven glassfibre grid for long-wearing durability and is protected by SparClean, an ultra-hygienic powder-coated treatment that eliminates dirt traps and provides permanent resistance to soiling and staining.
"Tarasafe Style has proved to be simple and easy to clean and the wide selection of colours allowed us to make a great design," said Roger Osborne. Request a free brochure from Gerflor ...
"The new science laboratory and IT suite is a fantastic and well-used part of the school.".
