As an Amotai-registered business, we take great pride in our ability to contribute to the community and add social value to your school. Our commitment to making a positive impact is exemplified through the expertise of our advisory board members and business mentor, as well as our active involvement with respected organizations like the Tony Robbins Foundation and the Ice House.
At the heart of our ethos lies a deep commitment to sustainability, which is reflected in our track record as leaders in sustainable practices. We take pride in being the first in New Zealand to incorporate ECONYL® regenerated nylon, made entirely from nylon waste, into our product offerings. We understand the importance of providing toxic-free and eco-friendly products for your staff and children to walk and work on, and we prioritize the use of materials that minimize our environmental impact.
We're experts in providing ergonomic and acoustic flooring solutions for the education sector. Poor acoustics can negatively affect learning, impairing speech intelligibility and reducing concentration. Our patented EcoTX™ backing reduces noise levels and leg muscle fatigue by up to 24%, contributing to increased productivity and improved morale. With children spending over 60% of their time on the floor using devices, our sustainable and comfortable flooring helps create a healthy learning environment.
Leveraging our extensive experience in the education sector, we recognize the unique requirements of educational facilities and the importance of delivering quality, timely, and effective flooring and wall solutions that also deliver aesthetically pleasing results. Our team is dedicated to exceeding expectations and ensuring that every aspect of your school build is of the highest quality. We are committed to creating a facility that you can take pride in for years to come.
"We are repeat customers of Project Floors, so that says it all. We started working with Project Floors to recarpet our Senior Block (7 teaching spaces and 1 support area) over the Summer 2022/23 holidays. The sales team was prompt in pulling together our requirements and the installation team easily overcame the odd obstacle to finish the job on time. It was easy to approach and contract them for our next project and outdoor carpets were laid on our decks during Term 1. Our final project was a bathroom revamp and they came to the party and completed this work at short notice. Professional and highly responsive to our needs. We thoroughly recommend them.
