Triflex offer a comprehensive range of cold liquid applied waterproofing, surfacing, protection and marking systems for roofs, walkways and playgrounds. Whether it’s a repair, refurbishment or a new build application, Triflex fully certified, fast curing, solvent free solutions have been proven to be some of the safest and most secure systems available to the education sector.
Triflex has a long standing relationship with schools, academies, universities and other educational facilities, delivering successful projects over the course of 40 years across the UK and worldwide. Our totally cold applied solutions eliminate the significant risk of fire associated with hot works, allowing installation to also be carried out during term time, preventing the need for closure and loss of precious learning hours.
The waterproofing, maintenance and security of any roof is vitally important. This is particularly the case for educational facilities where health and safety requirements must be met to avoid closure and to protect and maintain the safety of the building and its occupants. Traditional roof waterproofing materials are commonly applied using hot works. This method of installation has proven to pose a significant fire risk and can possibly increase or even invalidate a contractors insurance. Additionally, installations that require the use of hot works often need to be limited to school holiday periods or when the building is unoccupied, potentially leading to a cost increase for roof maintenance.
Triflex understands that due to the nature of the occupants; the protection of the pupils, staff and structure of the building is vital within any educational facility. Our seamless roof waterproofing and protection systems are based on cold applied liquid technology which eliminates fire risks and can be securely and safety installed all year round, even when the building is fully occupied.
LONG TERM PROTECTION FORSAFETY AND SECURITY
VERSATILE SOLUTIONS FOR AESTHETIC TRANSFORMATION
Internal and external walkways are often overlooked when it comes to maintenance and development. Linking formal curricular environments with relaxed sociable space or updating neglected areas to make them more aesthetically pleasing can enhance all aspects of your learning environment and positively impact your pupils.
Triflex cold liquid applied waterproofing and surfacing systems can be applied all year round, even during term time and are designed for use on all structures, ranging from access routes and walkways, stairs and stairwells, to balconies and terraced areas. Our flexible solutions fulfil the optimum combination of functional and aesthetic requirements to ensure a safer and more effective learning environment.
DURABLE DESIGN FORENHANCED INTERACTION
When imaginatively developed, school recreational areas and playgrounds can provide outstanding benefits for staff, children and the wider community. Enhanced, interactive outdoor facilities not only promote exercise and positive behaviour, but can also contribute to improved learning and social interaction of pupils, whilst ensuring the safety of their playing environment.
Triflex high quality, durable, cold liquid applied surfacing, protection and marking systems, deliver a hard wearing, innovative and safe playground and sports court design that will encourage children to take part in a range of physical activities, which can improve the reputation of your school.

SECURINGIMPROVEMENT FUNDING
Dedicated to providing pupils with a safe, secure and inspiring learning environment, Triflex believe that schools, academies and other educational facilities are more likely to achieve outstanding results and reach their full potential when the academic buildings and their surroundings are well maintained.
A modern, safe and secure environment can help raise achievement and self-esteem, improve behaviour and health, as well as help children and young people develop a wide range of skills.
There is significant correlation between the quality and safety of a learning environment and the progression and attainment of its students. Academic buildings and their grounds could potentially be as important to the education, development and well-being of children as the quality of the teaching.
Simple improvement projects that help to provide a safe and stimulating environment where children and young people can learn, explore, play and grow, can lead to significant improvements in behaviour and attitudes to learning. Enhanced educational space has also been proven to promote stronger relationships between staff and pupils.
REFURBISHMENT FORACADEMIC ATTAINMENT
ENHANCEMENT FORIMPROVED ENGAGEMENT
It is an ongoing struggle for schools and educational facilities to make vital improvements and meet the outlined health and safety requirements to avoid school closure when funding is limited.
Triflex has a long standing relationship with the education sector, as well as direct experience in working with schools to help them gain Continued Improvement Fund (CIF) funding from the Education Funding Agency (EFA) for the refurbishment, repair or improvement of educational facilities. The Triflex Technical Team have considerable working knowledge of the education sector and can undertake assessments of existing roofs and provide detailed condition reports with recommendations and costings all in accordance with the requirements of the EFA. Working in partnership with a national network of specialist education consultants Triflex can help Academies tailor their CIF bid submissions to ensure the information provided gives submission bids the best chance of success.

PROJECT: Roof refurbishmentSOLUTION: Triflex ProTect®
The school roof had reached the end of its life and the water ingress posed a risk of structural damage and potential health and safety issues to the school. The Triflex ProTect® system was selected due to its compatibility with the existing roof membrane, its rapid cold application and minimal disruption to the school.
PROJECT: Rooftop playgroundSOLUTION: Triflex BTS-P
The rooftop playground was showing signs of significant deterioration and the safety of the play area had become a concern. The use of Triflex BTS-P has ensured long-term security of the rooftop playground and provided peace of mind to Hanover Primary School.
PROJECT: Walkway waterproofingSOLUTION: Triflex BFS
The failing external asphalt walkways of the college had cracks running across their width and potential trip hazards were beginning to form. The application of the seamless Triflex BFS system with a durable anti-skid surface finish, provided completely watertight protection as well as minimising future slip and trip hazards.
