Forbo brings the outdoors in at Croxteth Community Primary School

Flooring products drawn from Forbo’s integrated portfolio have helped to create a stimulating and inspiring environment at the new Croxteth Community Primary School in Liverpool, custom-designed to provide pupils with high quality facilities and fun spaces for learning.

Martin Shutt, Architect at 2020 Liverpool, made the flooring a key design element. He said: “We wanted to bring the outdoor environment inside, merging internal and external boundaries and bringing an organic and natural feel to the space.”  

He used Forbo’s Tessera Teviot carpet tiles in Deep Ocean, Pine and Soap Stone colourways to create zoned areas, giving the effect of sandy islands in a large blue ocean. “This created pleasing aesthetics but has also provided pre-determined areas where children can sit, read and participate in group activities.”

For classroom wash areas Martin chose Forbo’s Surestep Original vinyl as it provides an attractive contrast with the carpet tiles, has an R10 slip resistance rating and benefits from a PUR pearl finish, making it easy to maintain.

Forbo’s Coral Duo entrance system, which can capture up to 94% of all walked in moisture and dirt, was installed at school entrance areas.

Completing the project, Forbo’s Eternal Wood vinyl and Eternal Stone vinyl have been installed in the school hall and reception.

Providing variety, choice and flexibility, Forbo’s colour coordinated modular offering makes it easier to mix and match multiple sizes, styles and formats of tiles across vinyl, linoleum, textiles, flocked and entrance systems, offering complete design freedom for multiple application areas within one project

Martin concluded. “Forbo’s large integrated product offering and wide variety of design choices meant we were able to source all the floor coverings from just one supplier, which ultimately made the procurement process easier and quicker, and a more cost effective solution.”
