For schools, colleges and nurseries, the summer holiday period provides the ideal opportunity to carry out refurbishment work with minimal disruption.
With classrooms empty and pupils off-site, contractors can complete improvements quickly, safely and efficiently before the new academic year begins.
Summer Is the Best Time
The six-week summer break offers schools a rare window to undertake projects that would be difficult during term time. Noise, dust and restricted access are no longer concerns, allowing refurbishment programmes to progress without affecting teaching and learning which means our internal uPVC wall cladding is perfect for;
- Classrooms
- Corridors and circulation areas
- Washrooms and changing rooms
- Science laboratories
- Food technology rooms
- Staff facilities
- Sports and leisure areas
Internal Wall Cladding in Education Settings
Traditional refurbishment methods often involve plaster repairs, filling cracks and repeated painting cycles. Internal uPVC wall cladding provides a faster and more durable alternative.
Benefits include:
Fast Installation
Wall cladding can often be installed directly onto existing surfaces, reducing preparation work and helping projects stay on schedule during the limited summer closure period.
Easy to Clean
Smooth, non-porous surfaces are easy to wipe down and maintain, helping schools meet hygiene requirements throughout the year.
Large Colour Selection
The colour of a room can greatly impact learning and the mood of students. Learn more in article Colour Psychology in Interior Design.
Impact Resistant
Busy corridors and classrooms experience constant wear and tear. Durable wall cladding helps protect walls from scuffs, knocks and damage.
Low Maintenance
Unlike painted walls, uPVC cladding does not require regular redecorating, helping schools reduce ongoing maintenance costs.
Planning Your Summer Refurbishment
Schools face increasing pressure to maximise budgets while maintaining attractive, functional facilities. Choosing hard-wearing refurbishment materials can significantly reduce future repair and maintenance requirements. Shop our colours here.
The summer holiday period is one of the busiest times of year for refurbishment contractors and facilities managers. Early planning ensures projects can be completed on time and within budget before the new term begins.
