School Outdoor Locker Solution By EZR Shelving

Construction News Image
EZR Shelving have recently completed an installation of outdoor lockers for John Hampden Grammar School. The site needed additional lockers for students to store bags and sports equipment, but with a lack of indoor space the only option was to locate the lockers externally.

An area under an existing canopy was chosen as a suitable location to allow students to stay dry whilst accessing their lockers even in the worst of conditions.

Storing regular steel lockers outside would usually not be a wise choice due to the threat of rust. Plastic lockers were initially considered, but at around half the cost the aquacoat lockers with their new high-tech coating that totally protects steel from the elements made them the ideal choice for use in this particular situation, providing better value for money and wider doors for easier access.

The outdoor school lockers have an impermeable primer coating providing excellent anti-corrosion properties. Prior to painting, aquacoat lockers have an extra coat of primer developed by DuPont; Zero Zinc primer is formulated using High Density Crosslinking (HDC) technology. This strengthens the barrier effect of the primer, to create a completely sealed coating that isolates the steel from the environment.

"DuPont's new technology will lead to many more schools utilising their outdoor spaces for lockers," said EZR's Andrew Musty, "finally we have a rust proof steel locker that costs only 20% more than standard lockers."

Outdoor lockers are ideal for schools and colleges and are available with Trespa doors, providing a hard wearing locker with impact and scratch resistant doors.

The outdoor lockers are mounted on stands, also benefitting from the anti-corrosion paint finish, to raise the lockers off the ground to allow air circulation and cleaning; locker stands have adjustable feet to compensate for uneven ground level.
