Imagine stepping into a classroom where the floor not only feels good underfoot but also helps the planet. That's what cork panels on our floor do in our sustainable classroom design.
Cork flooring is naturally sound-absorbent, reducing noise so that lessons can be heard clearly by students. It's also warm and comfortable, meaning less need for heating, which saves energy.
Additionally, cork floors mean you're walking on something that's soft and easy on your feet, making the classroom a more pleasant place to be. Cork is harvested from the bark of cork oak trees, which regrow their bark, making it a renewable resource. By using cork, we're choosing a material that's not only eco-friendly but also biodegradable at the end of its life cycle.
In short, cork panels on the floor contribute to a quieter, more comfortable, and energy-efficient classroom, all while supporting sustainable practices that respect our environment.
