Watford Grammar School for Girls

The Brief

A neutral and clean colour scheme of pale grey was chosen which complemented the outside of the dome. Composite stone is an ideal choice for science labs and other school environments as it is very durable, but low maintenance. It tends to last longer than other stone worktops, and this is a major advantage of composite stone over naturally occurring materials. On the worktop were installed gas taps and power sockets along with white epoxy resin sinks. Epoxy resin is often used in laboratories as a sink material as it is very resistant to high heat. We also installed a Belfast ceramic sink which is robust and hygienic. We also installed vandal resistant hot and cold laboratory taps.

The capacity storage was chosen in a colour called Twilight, very similar to the colour of the worktops. Standard cupboards were interspersed with tray storage units with purple and blue trays, which coordinated with the vinyl flooring and overhead blue lights.
