Are you looking at painting your commercial/educational facility in Kelowna, to give it a fresh new look? If so, read our helpful tips on the best colors and other ideas for painting schools and universities.

Color choices for educational facilities

Studying color psychology is really helpful when determining which colors are best for learning. For example, colors like red are known for producing more aggressive emotions and anxiety, so colors like red are mostly avoided in schools. Colors like blue, green, and yellow help promote a calming setting, while at the same time giving good energy and creativity to the students.

White is the most common color in schools and that is fine as well, as it keeps the school looking fresh and clean, and a bright surrounding helps promote positive feelings in students. Brown and tan colors also help make the students feel calm and stable.

Whatever color you choose, balance is very important. It’s best to choose a more neutral color for the main walls, and something bolder for accent walls.

Other things to consider

Scheduling a paint job for school and university can be tough. The best time to paint a school is usually in the summer, as the buildings are not used as often.

Because schools tend to be very high traffic, it is recommended you use premium paints that have a washable finish. This type of paint provides maximum durability against, bumps, scrapes, scuffs, and overall abuse from students and faculty members.

Gym floors present a few challenges in different ways. Adding logos and lines to the gym floor is a very precise process, and refinishing your gym floor is very labor intensive. Make sure you hire professionals who have experience with this type of job.

Year round maintenance

As mentioned above, schools are very high traffic facilities and the paint on the walls will always require maintenance. If you are looking to have a commercial painting company in Kelowna on retainer that is always available to touch up your facility, talk to us today about a maintenance package.
