Carpet tiles for a primary school in Preston

Charcoal carpet tiles through the classrooms and open learning areas of a primary school in Preston.

The project

Charcoal carpet tiles through the classrooms and open learning areas of a primary school in Preston.

The installation challenge

A school floor has to cope with a room full of children, art supplies and lunchboxes, keep classrooms quiet, and break up big open floor areas without looking busy.

How we approached it

• The school first contacted us through our website in February 2024. We quoted the job that month and laid the tiles in stages, finishing in July 2024.
• The tiles are laid quarter-turned, each one at right angles to its neighbours.

The finished result

The quarter-turned tiles read as a subtle checkerboard, which breaks up the open areas and makes marks in the busiest walkways harder to spot. A stained or damaged tile can be lifted and replaced on its own, and carpet keeps a full classroom quieter than a hard floor.
