Top 5 School Flooring Projects to Tackle This Summer

1 August, 2025

Summer break offers the perfect window for schools and educational facilities to upgrade and maintain their flooring without disrupting classes. Whether you manage a K-12 school, a college campus, or a training center, tackling flooring projects during the summer ensures your facility is refreshed, safe, and fully prepared to welcome students and staff back in the fall.

Here are the top 5 school flooring projects summer you should consider:

1. Refinish and Restore Gymnasium Floors

School gyms take a heavy beating throughout the year from sports events, assemblies, and daily foot traffic. Summer is the ideal time to refinish hardwood gym floors to restore their shine, improve safety, and extend their lifespan.

2. Install Durable Commercial Flooring in Classrooms and Hallways

High-traffic areas like classrooms, hallways, and cafeterias require resilient flooring options. Upgrading to commercial-grade vinyl, rubber, or carpet tiles during summer helps withstand wear and tear while improving aesthetics and comfort.

3. Repair or Replace Damaged Tiles in Wet Areas

Bathrooms, locker rooms, and kitchens need floors that can handle moisture while remaining slip-resistant. Summer projects can include repairs or full replacement to prevent hazards and maintain hygiene standards.

4. Add Slip-Resistant Flooring for Safety

Schools have a responsibility to keep students and staff safe. Installing slip-resistant flooring in key areas such as entrances, ramps, and corridors during summer break reduces accidents and liability risks.

5. Upgrade Entryways and Common Areas for a Great First Impression

Entryways, lobbies, and other high-visibility spaces set the tone for your entire school. Summer is the perfect time to refresh these areas with durable, attractive flooring that can handle heavy foot traffic and make a positive impression on students, parents, and visitors.
