School tiling: why porcelain stoneware is the right choice of flooring
It goes without saying that safety is paramount in schools and nurseries, and that includes flooring that can meet the multiple requirements of these two environments. Porcelain stoneware is considered one of the best materials thanks to its various advantages. It is not subject to wear and tear, and is slip-resistant enough for this type of application. The ease with which school tiles can be maintained is an essential feature in these environments, where hygiene must be outstanding. Naturally, these places are primarily reception facilities, and it is essential that their layout is designed to meet this objective. Among the nursery tile collections, every aesthetic aspect and colour helps to provide a warm, welcoming environment that encourages children’s learning and development.
The different aesthetic effects and colours of school tiles
Schools and nurseries are both seen as reassuring settings where children can develop to their full potential. Nursery tiles therefore have a direct influence on the aesthetic appeal of the space, and it’s essential to select a style that can radiate a friendly, reassuring atmosphere.
Firstly, nursery tiles can reproduce the aesthetic of certain natural materials, such as parquet or natural stone. Wood-effect tiles, with their innate softness and warm tones, are certainly a good option, as they warm up the atmosphere. Imitation stone tiles can also be a good option, and even add a touch of authenticity to the space. Children and teenagers will feel extremely at ease in these environments, where nature takes a delicate hold.
Another option that can be evaluated is concrete-effect tiling, which is defined as a more sober base. Thus, in early childhood facilities, it allows the decorative elements that may be important for children, such as colourful games and areas for relaxation and rest, to be well highlighted.
Schools can also accommodate a more modern style of tiling, helping to create a discreet and elegant learning space. Design tiles therefore make it easy to structure the different areas within the building in a neat way, such as study rooms, meeting rooms, or even the management team’s offices.
Finally, resin-effect tiles are also available among the school tiles collections and are perfectly suited to application in classrooms, for example. Its neutral colours encourage concentration and its soft, smooth texture, identical to that of the material from which it takes its inspiration, creates pleasant plays of light that oscillate between the matt and shiny parts of the tile surface.
