The unique environment of a school requires flooring that can withstand heavy footfall and provide a safe, clean and soundproof surface.
FineLine Flooring provides specialist flooring solutions that meet the varied and specific needs of a school building.
Flooring solutions for school halls and dining areas
The challenge for many schools is that different types of activities often take place in the same space.
For example, a school hall can be used for physical education lessons, assemblies, theatre productions, musical concerts, parents’ evenings – the list is endless. All of these events involve large groups of people needing to communicate with each other.
Therefore, as well as durability, the flooring needs to reduce noise rather than create additional sound problems. The tramping of footsteps, the scraping of chairs, and the thud of balls hitting the ground can make a tense and uncomfortable environment.
Our flooring solutions are designed to give you a quiet, harmonious and productive setting.
An excellent example of this is an installation we recently undertook for Abbey School in Reading, Berkshire. In an upgrade of their dining hall area, we laid commercial luxury vinyl tiles to great effect.

Non-slip flooring for communal areas
As well as school halls and dining areas, luxury vinyl is also a practical solution for communal areas such as hallways and breakout rooms.
Non-slip vinyl flooring offers a high degree of safety and is designed to withstand heavy footfall on a daily basis. The beauty of vinyl in this environment is that it’s hygienic and easy to maintain. Spills and stains can be mopped up easily, and you can opt for a flooring solution with an anti-bacterial coating.
Soundproof flooring for classrooms
A significant benefit of vinyl flooring is that it provides a high level of noise reduction. In addition, a rubber underlay can give extra cushioning and even further soundproofing.
The extra underlay makes the floor extremely comfortable underfoot and creates a quiet place to study. Carpet tiles are another option that offers underfoot comfort and noise reduction. Carpet tiles are a practical choice for libraries and other rooms where the focus is on study and reading rather than physical activity.
