400 Interior Doors for Norway's Largest Primary School

11/20/2023 14:25

Brief: Manufacture of interior doors for school
Fabricator: Nordic Door
Decors used: F7853 Ocean Grey, F3855 Clear Maple, F7966 New Burgundy
Date Completed: January 2023

Decors from the Formica® Doors Collection were selected for 400 interior doors in a new primary school in Norway. The fabricator, Nordic Door, integrated the doors within the 18,000m2 school building featuring 75 classrooms, ensuring smooth accessibility for over 1,200 students and staff.

In January 2023, the pupils were able to use their brand-new primary school at Fjellhamar in Lørenskog – Norway's largest primary school. The 100 million euro project consists of four buildings: the school building, two multipurpose halls, and a swimming pool. The choice of decors from the Formica® Doors Collection aligns with the school's contemporary design and ensures long-term resilience, crucial for a bustling educational environment.

“The decision to choose Formica® Laminate was driven by its ease of maintenance, a broad spectrum of colours, and exceptional wear resistance. In a primary school setting, the diverse colour palette not only fosters a positive learning atmosphere but also serves practical purposes - Formica® Laminate is wear-preventive and ensures that the doors remain clean and presentable, essential for maintaining a conducive environment.” Nordic Door
