Flooring in schools does more than cover a surface—it helps define a school’s identity, improve navigation, and create an engaging environment for students and staff. The right flooring choices can enhance school spirit, support wayfinding, and hold up to daily wear and tear.

Strengthening School Identity and Spirit

Flooring is an easy way to reinforce school pride by incorporating colors, mascots, and logos into the design.

Where to add school logos:

• Entrances & Lobbies: Make a strong first impression.
• Hallways & Common Areas: Keep school spirit front and center.
• Gymnasiums: Create a professional look for game days and events.

Branded flooring creates a sense of belonging and helps students feel more connected to their school.

Flooring as a Wayfinding Tool

Navigating a large school can be confusing, but flooring can help guide the way.

How flooring supports wayfinding:

• Color-Coded Paths: Assign colors to different grade levels or wings.
• Patterned Walkways: Use lines or arrows to direct traffic.
• Designated Zones: Different materials or colors can define quiet areas, collaborative spaces, and main hallways.

Good wayfinding reduces congestion and makes it easier for students and visitors to find their way around.

Durability and Maintenance

School flooring needs to be tough. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT), rubber, and carpet tiles are all durable, easy to maintain, and stylish. LVT and rubber are ideal for high-traffic areas, while carpet tiles add warmth and reduce noise in quieter spaces like libraries. Custom logo rugs are also a great way to reinforce branding while keeping entrances clean and safe.
