When you envision a school, areas like classrooms, a library and even the gymnasium quickly come to mind. Less iconic spaces in an educational facility include the washroom and locker room. These particular areas are essential, high traffic rooms that require safe, sanitary, high performance flooring systems to ensure student wellbeing and also keep maintenance costs on budget.
When you envision a school, areas like classrooms, a library and even the gymnasium quickly come to mind. Less iconic spaces in an educational facility include the washroom and locker room. These particular areas are essential, high traffic rooms that require safe, sanitary, high performance flooring systems to ensure student wellbeing and also keep maintenance costs on budget.
One of our top flooring system recommendations for school washrooms and locker rooms includes the Stonshield line up, specifically the HRI and SLT formulations. Safe, easy to clean, with aesthetic appeal and design flexibility – Stonshield is an ideal system selection for this specific application.
Important Features and Key Considerations for Stonshield HRI/SLT:
Two Degrees of Surface Texture

- Reduces liability
Seamless
- Clean and sanitary – no joints to trap bacteria and dirt
Chemical Resistant
- Long-lasting protection
- Resists enzyme and bacteria attack
High Tensile and Compressive Strength
- Resists impact and wear
- Extends life of the floor
Decorative Tweed Blends
- Complements and enhances décor
Alternative flooring materials used in this space can include ceramic tile, which may create safety and maintenance issues over time. Ceramic tile can be extremely slippery when wet. Non-slip coatings are added to the tile surface, which only increases maintenance and cost. The grout bed, used with ceramic tiles, can act as a sponge, absorbing contaminating liquids that might leak through crack tiles or damaged/deteriorated grout. The original problem can remain undetected for extended periods of time until failure occurs and the issues have spread over a large area.
The superior performance of Stonshield systems, along with ultra-slip resistant surfaces ensure protection from slips and falls and also offer a long-lasting, stylized solution for school washrooms and locker rooms.
