For those who are not familiar with Tretford Cord Carpet’s extensive record in education, here is a snapshot of Tretford’s long-standing contribution to the well-being of children & students alike.
In fact, Tretford’s presence in the educational sector in Ireland is dominant with an extensive track record over many years in primary, secondary and tertiary institutions. Its overseas record is equally impressive with examples like Hong Kong University where Tretford has been used for more than 20 years, using many thousands of square metres.

Colour is an essential part of children’s learning process and reaction to their environment – different colours can alter emotion and behaviour. Using Tretford’s dynamic colour palette, designers have created the perception of warmth and eliminated the institutional feel in many educational environments. With its ability to be cut in any direction without fraying or unravelling, Tretford’s creative possibilities are endless.
Using carpet improves insulation and has also proven to have reductions of 20-40dB in airborne and impact sound. Unlike hard floors, carpet not only reduces slips and trips but provides cushioning when a child falls.
