Elementary Tile Job Spruces Up School

Beechwood Elementary recently chose to utilize student-designed tiles in order to help beautify its campus, which previouslymserved as school-district offices. After partnering with a local ceramic painting company to fire and glaze the tiles, the volunteers from CBP mounted all of the tiles using The company’s Commercial 100% Silicone Caulk.
The tiles were mounted over existing walls where the silicone caulk quickly created a durable bond. The campus’ newest additions join several murals and a smaller display of previously installed tiles.
“The newest tile installation is part of an initiative to give the repurposed facility new life. The new tiles join with the previous work to create a history for this new school,” said CBP’ s Will White.
The tile improvements are timely: Beechwood Elementary School’s on-campus art classes and numerous other programs only exist through community donations. It is GATE-certified, as well as a California Distinguished School and a National Blue Ribbon School.
