At press, the Winnipeg School Division has entered summer break which generally runs from the last Friday of June, until the beginning of the new school year in September after Labour Day long weekend. This is typically when educational institutions perform a variety of upgrades, painting included.
The benefits of updating the paint for a school every 3-5 years are broken down into exterior and interior categories, which we detail below.
Benefits of upgrading school paint exterior:
- Enhanced student and faculty pride in their school.
- Creates a positive first impression for new students/faculty and visitors.
- Enhances a sense of community within the catchment area.
- Encourages students to take better care of the school property (not littering in the playground, etc.).
- Preventative maintenance, in that regular painting can prevent costly repairs in the long run by addressing minor exterior issues before they escalate.
Benefits of upgrading school paint interior:
- Enhanced student and faculty pride in their school.
- Improved student focus and concentration, in that a well-maintained and brightly painted space can reduce distractions and help students focus better during lessons, potentially leading to improved academic performance.
- Colorful and brightly painted spaces can help students with enhanced creativity and imagination.
- Positive impact on emotional and mental wellbeing, as the right paint tones can create a more welcoming, stimulating (yet also soothing) environment for students and faculty.
- Preventive maintenance, as paint acts as a barrier against indoor-environment damage (namely for high touchpoint surfaces) protecting the school interior and extending its lifespan.
- Regular painting can help prevent the growth of mold and mildew, especially in areas prone to moisture (i.e. school locker rooms, etc.), creating a healthier environment for students and faculty.
- Hygiene and cleanliness, as properly painted surfaces are easier to clean and maintain, which contributes to a more hygienic environment where the spread of germs is potentially reduced.
As an administrator or other decision maker who is tasked to find school painters in Winnipeg, you’ll be pleased to learn that you’ve come to the right place. Below is a summary of why Buhle gets top grades as a painting contractor for educational institutions.
Why Buhle Gets an A+ Among School Painters in the Winnipeg School Division
School Exterior and Interior Expertise
Winnipeg school building exteriors are made from a variety of materials, with common choices including concrete, brick, metal panels, and framed glass. Buhle has extensive experience in painting all of these exterior surface materials, ensuring aesthetic appeal while protecting the integrity of the institution from environmental elements.
Meanwhile, Winnipeg school interiors typically incorporate a variety of materials for different purposes, including walls, floors, and fixtures. Common materials include wood, metal, plastic, laminate, drywall, and concrete. Sustainable materials like FSC-certified wood and bamboo are also increasingly used for wall paneling. Buhle has extensive experience in painting all of these interior surface materials, ensuring aesthetic appeal while protecting the integrity of the institution from interior environment elements, rambunctious adolescents included! More importantly, our team will help you prioritize creating an school interior environment that focuses on student/faculty health and well-being. This typically involves the application of low-VOC or zero-VOC paints for optimal indoor air quality. We also recommend antimicrobial paints that are beneficial in high-contact areas. Health considerations also include emotional and mental wellbeing. For both learning and social spaces we recommend blue and green hues, or other tones that are known to promote focus, reduce stress, and enhance interpersonal interaction.
Line Painting for Gyms, Parking Spaces, Halls, and More
Buhle is also uniquely qualified for school painting projects because of our line painting and floor coating services. Line painting and floor coatings are necessary for outdoor parking spaces, gymnasiums, hallways, and secondary school trade program spaces (woodwork, metal work, and mechanics shop floors).
Dedication to Cleanliness, Quality, and Professionalism
In addition to the quality of our work, Buhle takes great pride in the cleanliness of our workspaces (including equipment and materials used to paint and protect school spaces). More importantly, we have a team of expertly trained, highly qualified, and professional staff. This is important for schools that will remain open (or be reopened) while painting is being done on the property. School faculty, support staff, students, and visitors (parents, etc.) alike will appreciate the professional and friendly nature of the Buhle Painting & Decorating team.
