High school keeps the faith

Allerton High School in Leeds has specified an exciting new integrated carpet from Heckmondwike FB for its multi-faith room.

The school required a bespoke design that featured the co-ordinates of a compass to denote the direction for prayer, integrating purple lettering within green carpet to reflect the colour of the school’s logo.

Interserve FM contacted flooring contractor Fresco of Leeds which recommended Diamond in Willow from Heckmondwike FB, with purple lettering in Supacord to complement the Supacord tiles that are widely used in other areas of the school.

Phil Andrews, Business Manager at Allerton High School, said: “We previously had vinyl flooring in the multi-faith room, but unfortunately the vinyl kept peeling away, due to the underfloor heating. We discussed with our flooring contractor Fresco that we wanted carpet but that it needed the compass points integrated within it.  Fresco recommended Heckmondwike FB who were able to create the bespoke design, which looks great.”

Diamond is a very popular entrance area solution, featuring a distinctive cobbled effect surface.  It is extremely hardwearing and will not ravel or fray. Diamond entrance matting from Heckmondwike FB provides a robust, high performance solution, ensuring areas look inviting for years to come, without high maintenance costs.  

Sharni Verity, Marketing Manager at Heckmondwike FB, said: “Our bespoke design service is becoming very popular with schools, especially for personalising entrances and other areas.  Our Diamond entrance matting was perfect for this project as it is extremely robust and will serve the school well for years to come.”

Diamond entrance matting from Heckmondwike is suitable for a wide range of commercial applications from education to public buildings and offices.  Diamond is available in a choice of six colours, with the option to integrate bespoke logos and designs.  Manufactured in the UK, Diamond offers low maintenance, as well as excellent thermal and acoustic properties.
