Summer Hill Public School Tile Adhesive Case Study

Case 08  |  SUMMER HILL PUBLIC SCHOOL

  Education Facility  ·  Summer Hill, NSW

Project Overview

Summer Hill Public School is a NSW Government public school facility. The project involved refurbishment of interior floor and wall tiling systems, with strict requirements for product safety, environmental performance, and long-term durability in a high-traffic educational setting.

Product Application

Public education buildings impose requirements beyond standard residential projects, particularly regarding occupant safety and environmental compliance. ProBond met these criteria across several dimensions:

• Low VOC formulation: ProBond's low-VOC profile supports healthy indoor air quality for students and staff occupying the refurbished spaces. The formulation aligns with Green Star-friendly environmental standards increasingly specified in government building projects.

• Non-toxic composition: ProBond's cured state is non-toxic with no ongoing environmental hazard — an essential requirement for spaces occupied by children.

• High-traffic durability: Corridors, toilet blocks, canteen, and classroom wet areas in school environments are subject to intensive daily use. ProBond's bond strength exceeding C2 classification ensures tile installations remain secure under sustained heavy foot traffic loading.

• AICIS compliance: All ProBond components are listed on the Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances (AICIS), facilitating straightforward compliance documentation for government project procurement.

• Practical application: Standard 20 kg bag format with simple water-mix preparation supports efficient phased refurbishment delivery — allowing sections of the school to be completed and reopened in sequence.
