Saving the floor, bringing the school back to life

When we first saw the floors at Sainte-Lutgarde school in Lasne, they’d clearly had better days: chair marks, stains, damaged lino, ingrained dust...

The teaching team dreamed of updating the floors, but the budget was a barrier.
That’s when we offered another route: save the floor with reclaimed carpet.

A local, sustainable and affordable solution that gave the school a new lease on life and provided children with a warmer, healthier learning environment.

 About : Sainte-Lutgarde is located in the heart of Walloon Brabant, in Lasne. In operation for more than 130 years, it welcomes around 245 pupils from the reception class to sixth grade. The school stands out for an educational project that emphasizes autonomy, creativity, open-mindedness and active participation from parents and teachers.

A circular approach designed around the school’s needs

The project ran in two phases with a clear goal: save the floor and give the children a durable new learning space. The first intervention took place before the start of the 2025 school year, the second during the Toussaint (All Saints’) holidays in 2025.

 

Analysis

Faced with a worn floor and a tight budget, we proposed a local, cost-effective reuse solution planned around the school calendar.

Selection

The project came to life thanks to two carpet sources: the AGC site, where we already ran a maintenance programme, and Pegasus Park in Diegem. The carpet there was in excellent condition — we recovered it before it could be thrown away.


Delivery and installation

Composil organised the preparation and delivery of the tiles. They were installed by our partner GMT. We finished with a full clean so the classrooms would be tidy and welcoming for the new term.

Result

In total, 1,100 m² of reclaimed carpet replaced the tired lino. The school regained a calmer, warmer and more pleasant environment, and pupils rediscovered their classrooms as if new.
