Challenge
Rhyddings is community school
for boys and girls aged from
11 to 16, with around 1000
pupils learning from an exciting
curriculum as a specialist
Business and Enterprise school.
The project was a complete
refurbishment of all toilet blocks
within the school. The extent
of the refurbishment meant
that the toilet blocks were all
completely stripped out.
The walls were not in the best
state and received minimal
patching up as part of the
refurbishment. Despite this, the
finish had to be of the highest
standard. The flooring used was
high specification, decorative

safety vinyl combining the
assurance of sustainable slip
resistance with high durability
for years of performance. Fitting
the corner junctions to a uniform
and hygienic finish to match the
high quality flooring in a high
traffic area with high risk of
water spillage was imperative.

Solution
where bacteria can hibernate.
The school bathrooms are highly
used areas where moisture and
contaminants are an issue, yet
hygeine is very important.
Once the vinyl internal mitre
has been installed onto the
Internal Floormitre cove it
provides a neat, consistent and
uniform finish that will in turn
provide a mitre that is easy
to weld therefore inhibiting
the hibernation and growth
of bacteria.
As in this case, the corners
provides strength and support
with the upright section
covering any gaps resulting
from any walls that are irregular
or not fully repaired. Without
the Floormitres, the job would
not have been handed over
‘snag free’ and to the very high
standard it achieved.
Quantum Flooring Solutions, are
a leading flooring accessories
supplier, and are the exclusive
distributors of Cutting Corners
Ltd products. The range includes
the Floormitre, a preformed
seamless internal cove the can
be used when the standard
‘site-formed’ ‘cap and cove’
system is a requirement.
AFB Flooring were asked to
trial the Floormitre and it
soon became clear it was the
only perfect solution for the
Rhyddings School refurbishment.
As well as offering a high
standard, uniform finish to
the corners, the products are
designed to make the fitting of
vinyl in corners easier, quicker
and smoother, so it offers a
‘quick fix’ without compromising
the end result.
Internal corners are areas that
have historically been prone to
kinks and creases, and if any
imperfections are left in the corner
junction, they become harder to
clean as well as offering areas
