Ways To Ensure Longevity Of Your School Chairs
School Chairs are made to be used for long periods of time, they need to be comfortable and safe to use. School chairs are used by children of all ages, and every day they are exposed to wear and tear. The chairs can be kept in usable condition longer by taking care of them, this would also improve the look of the classroom. We also would now so after dealing with the chairs at Zoifun School Furniture, we learned a couple of strategies for dealing with school chairs.
What Are Your Chairs Made Of
The first step to taking care of a chair is to figure out what its made of. Zoifun school chairs are made of molded plastic, solid wood and glass, and they all require different types of care. For example, plastic chairs will be fine for a long time, but they will get scratched. A wooden chair may get wet, and the wood may warp, or develop lots of splinters. A chair may also be made of metal, and in this case, it may need to be moved to a dryer place so it doesn't get rusty because metal is easily rusted when it is wet. There are a lot of different types of chairs, so knowing what type it is can help to ensure it is still nice to look at, and is still usable.
Regular Clean and Dust
Cleaning and dusting construction and classroom materials, especially chairs, will always be among the means to be used for the maintenance of school furniture. Siltation, dust, and spills will, with no doubt, accumulate in classrooms and learning environments. Less than strong chairs with metal and plastic finishes can be, under most cases, cleaned with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution. Wooden chairs, on the other hand, can be damaged, and therefore, in such cases a specialized, and non-damaging, wooden furniture cleaner is recommended. Without strong chemicals school chairs will most probably face a longer lifespan. Consistent cleaning and maintenance, will, to a great extent, alleviate, if not suspend, the formation of dripping, and reduce sample and formation of odors, and also result in a longer lifespan for school chairs.
Work and Strengthing of the Bolts and Screws
Regular cleaning is the general and most gross maintenance task to which school chairs can be subjected. Loose bolts and screws that are regularly worked on, to a great extent, provide the framework for wobbly school chairs, and therefore, themselves, constitute a certain safety hazard. School chairs from Zoifun are made to facilitate, and therefore the school teacher, or maintenance personnel, can make sure that the bolts are well done to make the whole picture wobble free. The picture formed by school chairs can be altered from a wobbly one to a neat and tidy one. A change of not more than 3 months is recommended for a change of bolts to avoid wobbly situations in school chairs. Regular change is believed to avoid from the emergence of programmable situations of expensive maintenance.
Look for Damage
After normal cleaning and adjustments, school chairs can have damages that should be assessed, and repaired if necessary. Cracks, splinters, and rust can be especially dangerous. Even if one hairline crack doesn't look like much, it can be serious if more than one appear. Other than Zoifun that offer tear resistant substitute, wood and plastic chairs are still going to last less than reinforced plastic. Repaired and reinforced chairs are going to be much more safe, practical, and appealing to look at.
Use
School chairs are built for normal use, but still have a limited lifespan especially if excessive weight or misuse occurs. Weight limits and storage misuse are obvious, but injury is a serious concern. Dragging chairs can also be misused to damage or scratch even brick floors. School experience makes it clear that rules and instructions keep chairs from damage and extended use.
Environmental Factors
Temperature, sunlight, humidity, and other environmental factors are elements that can affect the durability of the school chairs. For example, with changes in humidity, wood may expand and contract while metal can become corroded in a humid environment. Where possible, avoid exposure of the school chairs to direct sunlight and high moisture environments. For storage long term over summer holidays make sure the environment you put them in does not promote warping, rust, or fading. Zoifun chairs take into consideration and are designed to withstand most environmental factors, but being proactive will maximise their useable life.
Use of Cover and Seat Pads
In high traffic classrooms, the use of rubbers or grips on the base of the school chairs is a good idea. It will prevent the chairs from being moved too quickly and lowering the amount of damage that the chairs will incur on the floor. Plastic and wood chairs can be enhanced by the use of school chairs with non-slip or non-move pads under the legs to allow for a reduction in movement and floor damage. This increase in comfort and safety will improve the overall experience for the students while elevating the level of damage.
Keep a Maintenance Log
Being professional in logging maintenance shows forward thinking. It is useful to document cleaning, repairs, inspections, and replace schedules. It shows in what condition the chairs are throughout a time frame. In schools with big stockpiles, planning replacements and spotting problems that repeat becomes easier. Also, logging maintenance shows the school’s accountabily and concern for safety, and that’s something that will uplift the school administration, not to mention parents.
Final Comments
Having chairs in a school is dimension of safety, comfort, and value. Knowing your chairs will last in case of good maintenance serves the purpose of value for the chairs once bought. To give the chairs the best chance to outlast the money spent includes an understanding of the materials, regular cleaning, tightening of any plastic/metal hardware, inspections, not misuse of the chair, physical props to reduce the use of hands and knees in stretching the chair, a log of the maintenance, and many factors that will help to keep the chairs in the library.
