Education
Replacing a resilient floor is both expensive and time consuming, often leaving the facility out-of-use for a week or more depending on the size. Many facilities, particularly in the education sector, must plan this renovation budget years in advance to get the funding approved.

The Bona Resilient Solution offers an option that drastically saves time and cost while producing a healthy and beautiful floor surface.
Case study: Elementary school floor renewal
Tucson-based Santa Clara Elementary School needed an upgrade for its heavily-trafficked and worn resilient floors. With practicality in mind, the school sought a cost-effective solution to renew and upgrade the floor over the summer break, allowing a smooth kick-off to the 2021 school year.
By renewing their floors with the Bona Resilient Solution, they realized a cost savings of $40,000 compared to a standard new floor installation.
Learn about the three benefits of floor renewal
1 - Cost Savings
Floor renewal offers considerable cost benefits versus ripping out and installing a new floor:
Educational facility management and maintenance teams are saving money on time, labor and materials with the Bona Resilient Solution.
Less downtime
Because the renewal process can be completed in a matter of hours (not days or weeks), there is no need to wait for holiday breaks or other planned closures; or pay maintenance teams overtime to renovate the flooring.
Fast results, half the cost
A school completed the renewal of its resilient school hallway in just a few days – and at half the cost of replacing the floor.
Less labor & materials
New flooring and installation is an expensive endeavor, and many educational budgets don’t allow for such a cost. Facilities managers and their teams are delivering beautiful, durable renewed flooring surfaces without the high cost of replacement.
2 - Healthier Floors
Facilities teams and educational institution leaders choose Bona’s resilient system for the following health benefits:
Educational facility flooring is overwhelmed with germs and bacteria that kids bring with them from outside. Proper maintenance and sanitation practices are imperative for healthy learning environments. With a proper regimen of daily cleaning and periodic treatments, which may consist of reviving or recoating the flooring – renewed, resilient flooring remains healthy and beautiful for all inhabitants.
Water-based chemistry
This solution uses water-based chemistries for renewal and maintenance, which is safe for all the little hands and feet that will come into contact with the floor.
Improved air quality
Bona uses 100% water-based, non-toxic chemistries in our solutions, helping to ensure healthy air quality for our children to learn and educators to teach.
Seamless surface
The smooth surface of the renewed floor is free of seams and creases – prime areas for harmful bacteria to grow.
3 - A More Sustainable Future
Renewing the flooring with Bona’s resilient system offers the following eco-friendly benefits:
Schools are places where students learn about the harmful environmental effects of filling our landfills and polluting our air with toxic chemicals. Schools are also an excellent place to model sustainable practices by renewing instead of replacing flooring. What a wonderful learning opportunity!
Lower carbon footprint
The renewal solution offers a long-lasting floor that utilizes existing materials, keeping trash out of the landfill and eliminating the carbon footprint that comes with new floor materials.
Never strip again
Because the Bona Resilient Solution eliminates the need to ever strip the floor again, say goodbye to the harmful toxins which can enter the wastewater stream created by the stripping and polishing process.
