School canteen furniture. Hygiene and resistance
SCHOOL CANTEEN FURNITURE. HYGIENE AND RESISTANCE

School canteen furniture is a piece of equipment that requires frequent updating. When summer comes and school is over, many school management teams take the opportunity to review the condition of the facilities. Most of the time, it is advisable to renew the equipment or acquire school canteen furniture that provides comfort and is resistant.
At DESMON we are specialists in furniture and we have developed refurbishment projects in large spaces such as schools or shopping centres. Undoubtedly, school classrooms need facilities that are suitable for the age and size of the children. And the same applies to school canteens.
DESMON’s design team can develop projects that include tables, chairs, cupboards and counters for school canteens. We have a great deal of experience and thanks to this experience we know the essential needs and qualities of school canteen furniture.
If you are part of the school management and you are in the process of updating your canteen furniture, DESMON offers you several hygienic and resistant solutions. We tell you which are the basic furniture for this type of school areas.
SCHOOL CANTEEN FURNITURE. HYGIENIC AND RESISTANT
There are a number of properties that school canteen furniture must fulfil. Daily and continuous use requires wear-resistant parts. It is also important that they withstand knocks and impacts.
On the other hand, there is another essential condition that school canteen furniture must meet, and that is hygiene. It is essential that the area is equipped with tables, chairs, bars and counters that are easy to clean and disinfect. It should be borne in mind that the health of schoolchildren is important and all measures should be taken to avoid any contagion or source of germs.
Therefore, resistance and easy cleaning are two of the main conditions that school canteen furniture must meet. From there, we can start to think about which pieces are the most necessary. We review them below.
TABLES FOR SCHOOL CANTEENS
At DESMON, when we receive an order to equip a school canteen, we always opt for phenolic material to build the tables.
Phenolic material is extremely hygienic because its surface is completely smooth and prevents the growth of germs or pathogens. It is also very easy to clean and disinfect.
On the other hand, tables made of phenolic material are highly resistant to impacts, scratches and even vandalism. They are also resistant to moisture and do not deteriorate if water, sauces or food leftovers are spilled on them.
At the same time, the tables are lightweight and can be manufactured in a stackable design. This makes them easy to stack and they can be stored in such a way that they take up very little space.
DESMON’s designs include tables without edges. This last factor is essential so that schoolchildren do not have to deal with sharp edges or sharp protrusions. In short, they are safe, light, sturdy and easy to clean school dining tables.
CHAIRS FOR SCHOOL CANTEENS
Chairs used by schoolchildren in the dining room should be light so that they can be moved easily when approaching the table. For the same reason, it is also important that the chairs are sturdy.
Another interesting factor concerning the chairs that are part of the school canteen furniture is that they should be ergonomic. It is important that children have a good posture when eating and that the seat is comfortable for them.
MOVABLE PARTITIONS FOR SCHOOL CANTEEN AREAS
In addition to the essential dining room tables and chairs, at DESMON we also offer you other complements to equip the area. On many occasions, it is necessary to separate spaces to accommodate students of different ages. The ideal way to do this is to equip the area with movable partitions.
These are “removable” walls that can be unfolded manually in seconds and allow the creation of an enclosed space. This makes it easy to separate dining areas. When necessary, the movable partition can be folded up again to create a larger, open-plan space.
COMFORTABLE, FUNCTIONAL AND FUN SCHOOL CANTEEN FURNITURE
If we are talking about comfortable furniture, lightness is another of the basic qualities of school canteen furniture. The pieces should weigh just enough for schoolchildren to move them around. Also, if the furniture is light, it will be easier to transport it for storage during holiday periods.
Another important issue is the need to reduce noise in the dining area. For this reason, the tables and chairs that we design at DESMON are fitted with feet. This makes it easy to move the piece and also avoids noise when dragging the chairs or tables.
It should always be borne in mind that the furniture will be installed in a school. For this reason, it is important to include designs that are attractive to schoolchildren and that even have a touch of fun. In that sense, DESMON can develop projects that include tables and chairs in different shapes in a wide range of colours.
In addition, we always look for the most practical design for the size of the children and “get down to their size” to achieve functional and easy to use pieces.
