When it comes to designing school washrooms, durability, hygiene and maintenance are essential. From busy primary schools to colleges and large universities, washroom facilities are used hundreds of times a day. Therefore the material used needs to cope with constant use without it compromising the appearance or performance. Cue solid surface.
Solid surface has become one of the most trusted materials across the education sector. Combining strength with seamless fabrication, it adds a practical, long-lasting solution that meets the expectations for school environments.
Built for Busy Education Environments
Unlike other materials that will deteriorate over time when exposed to moisture or heavy use, solid surface is built to withstand the demands of busy school washrooms. Its non-porous composition prevents water absorption and leaves nowhere for bacteria or mould to harbour.
Combined with its durable construction, solid surface offers excellent impact resistance, allowing it to withstand the daily wear and tear expected in busy education settings.
A More Hygienic Washroom Solution
Creating cleaner, healthier school environments is a priority for every education provider.
One of the biggest advantages of solid surface is its seamless appearance. During fabrication any joins will be bonded to create a smooth, continuous finish, reducing the places where dirt, grime and bacteria can collect.Â
Because the material is non-porous, it’s straightforward to clean using standard cleaning products. With fewer hard-to-reach areas, cleaning teams can work more efficiently while helping maintain high hygiene standards throughout the school day.
Why we recommend thermoformed solid surface washtroughs
At MSF, our ideal solution for education projects is a bespoke thermoformed solid surface washtrough.
Thermoforming is a specialist manufacturing process that carefully involves heating and shaping solid surface into smooth, flowing forms. This enables us to manufacture washtroughs with integrated features and minimal joints. This manufacturing process creates washtroughs that are durable, easy to maintain and well suited to the demands of high-traffic school washrooms
Our thermoformed washtroughs offer a number of practical benefits:
- Smooth, seamless construction for easier cleaning.
- Curved internal corners that improve hygiene.
- A robust surface capable of withstanding daily use.
- Bespoke sizes to suit individual washroom layouts.
- A modern appearance that complements contemporary education facilities.
