Designing for the education sector is about bringing a holistic approach to better learning environments. Choosing the right floor can make a direct positive effect on pupil and staff performance.
From nurseries to universities, Pergo offer a single source school flooring solution with technologically advanced laminate, vinyl and natural wood systems that can be specified across a diversity of educational facilities. Dedicated consultants will work with you from initial design including customisation options, through fast-track installation to guaranteed life-long performance.
Making commercial flooring exciting with bright fun colours can inspire young minds and boost their imagination. Educationalists also see advantages in special finishing touches.
Good acoustic properties are essential for children as miss-hearing can lead to a lack of understanding that may hinder academic advancement. Older pupils and students must also be able to concentrate in quiet study areas.
Strict timetables for class changeovers mean short intense peaks of high, rapid moving foot traffic coming from all directions. Corridors and entrances will require a higher trafficking performance than most classrooms.
Available in various wear grades, Pergo floors allow for an identical design or theme to run continuously throughout the whole education establishment.
With an increasing focus on operational spend, durability and maintenance costs are entrenched components of the project specification. Our floors are quick and easy to clean so even the brightest colours continue to look as good as new, whatever is thrown at them.

Pergo protective surfaces defend against dirt, dust, staining and scuff marks so regular and any necessary ‘on-demand’ cleaning is quick and efficient to prevent bacteria and odour build-up.
Our unique Perfect Fold 3.0™ click-system offers fast and easy installation for each flooring type. The stable locking mechanism reduces the risk of gap and height differences ensuring safe level surfaces. All floors are pre-finished for immediate use.
Pergo flooring is made to last. The standard commercial warranties range from 3 years up to 5 years, and 10 years on request. It covers issues concerning wear, stain, fading, click and limited issues of water.
Coping with busy Belgium school days Pergo created a modern, airy atmosphere for Saint George’s School to make their children feel at home. Independent Sussex prep school Vinehall demanded an outstanding performance when our laminate took front of stage. There may not be much running in the corridors but even the Spanish Ministry of Education gave Pergo floors 10-out-of-10.
