High School Lockers

Project Overview

It’s prime time for the education sector to refurbish and service institutions. Helmsman manufactured and installed almost 200 new laminate lockers in a high school in Manchester. These laminate lockers were extra heavy duty. Having ‘extra’ heavy-duty lockers means that the laminate doors inset into the locker frame and creates extra durability. The advanced locking design provides a return lip within the internal door frame for the hooked cam to lock behind. In addition, there is a locking slot in the door frame upright that enables secure locking in two places. These stable and fire retardant four compartment lockers have created storage for 776 students.

The Laminate used was Arpa Fucisa, which makes the corridors pop. The laminate lockers are all standard sizes of 1775mm high x 300mm wide x 450mm deep. This project included a standard 150 mm stand with the rear leg which has been cladded with matching laminate panels to have a fully secure, clean and aesthetically pleasing effect. Arpa Fucisa also used for the sidewall to locker infill. Chorlton school chose to have engraved numbers on each locker door. Using this solution for numbering protects the lockers from vandalism.

Helmsman is the leading manufacturer of a complete range of lockers and cubicles in the UK and a specialist in providing solutions across different sectors from leisure, healthcare and education through to commercial, retail, construction and industrial. With a dedicated and experienced in-house design team supported by its on-site factory, the company produces high-quality lockers manufactured for each project.

Project Overview

We’re delighted with the result of providing changing room bench seating for this school. We maximised the space providing stand-alone benches with coat rails and seating around the perimeter of the room. We think top marks were achieved here!

Set on eight acres of grounds St. Aubyn’s is in a school for 500 children aged 3 to 13 and one of the oldest and most established preparatory schools in the country. Offering high levels of teaching this project has taken us to magnificent settings of Woodford Green and Epping Forest.

Our team were tasked with completing a changing room with different bench seating and coat rails including island stands with seats. We maximised the space available by fitting out the perimeter and the central area whilst leaving adequate walking space around the sides. Grey was the frame colour chosen which we supplied along with matching coat hooks. To complement we fitted timber slats in pirana pine. The height and depths we supplied were suitable for this age group and in lengths allowing for radiators and pipes.
