Classroom Furniture & Safety

Building a Secure Space

As a practical, requirement driven business, we at Edusentials understand that the safety of your children and students is of paramount importance; after all, a secure classroom environment affords you more time to focus on what’s important – education and development. We appreciate that when you’re looking after a large group of small children on a daily basis, almost anything can present a health risk, and – naturally – you’ll start to look at everything with an air of suspicion and caution. To this end all our classroom furniture has been selected based on its durability and safety; this way, we can reassure teachers that they’re creating a safe and happy atmosphere that is conducive to learning.

School of Hard Knocks

The team here get that when you’re dealing with a rampant group of junior school children who’ve maybe just finished Physical Education, or are returning excitedly from a busy lunch break, a bumped head or a scratched knee is sometimes inevitable. We count it as our job, however, to try and build an environment in which these incidents happen as infrequently as possible.

With a view to this, our product lines reflect the safest classroom furniture supplies on the market. Our range of classroom tables, for example, come in a variety of shapes, colours and sizes directly suited to your age group. Our tables have either a polished bull nosed edge or a PVC seal, so no sharp edges. Our laminated tables are available in bright colours as well as wood grains, not only stimulating your children but also increasing visibility, preventing undue accidents. Our classroom chairs are durable, lightweight, practical and similarly vividly coloured. Our range includes a variety of material options from plastic to solid wood in a choice of colour options to cater for all styles. Most importantly, however, they’re available in a range of heights that work in conjunction with the relevant height of table to eliminate back strain.

Tidy Room, Tidy Mind

Unfortunately, however, we also appreciate that you can instruct children to “not run indoors” until you’ve lost your voice, but your classroom may sometimes resemble an Olympic sprinting track. When managing a hectic classroom environment, slips, trips and falls, represent a serious health and safety hazard. Accidents sometimes happen, and can often be put down to the fact that the space within the classroom is limited or cluttered. To address this, we have a large selection of classroom storage options to help keep everything in its place.

With a view to saving space, and minimising the number of hazards in your classroom, we at Edusentials provide classroom furniture that is easy to move, stack and store. Our wide variety of slide stacking tables can be purchased in several shapes and sizes, meaning they can be incorporated easily into your evolving classroom space. They’re particularly useful for the dynamic classroom, the one in which teachers and students are constantly on the move in a bid to develop an innovative, contemporary style of education. Lightweight by design, the slide stacking tables can easily be stored safely at the periphery of the room, allowing you to transform your classroom as needs dictate.

Building a Future

Your classroom is more than just four walls, it’s a space in which students come to be nurtured, to grow and develop, both socially and academically. The product lines at Edusentials represent some of the safest, most innovative pieces of classroom furniture on the market; they’re the core building blocks of a secure, happy learning environment. We also appreciate that classroom furniture is an investment in the future, which is why our products are lauded for their durability, and many of them come with additional safety features such as powder coating and laminating as standard.
