Gilkon Classroom Refit Planner for Summer Works

For schools, TAFEs and uni­ver­si­ties, the summer break is the best window to refit class­rooms and lecture theatres without dis­rupt­ing students. That window closes quickly, and any work not completed by late January can become a Term 1 issue.

Summer works usually miss the deadline for one of three reasons: spec­i­fi­ca­tions are finalised too late, products are ordered too late, or there is not enough time to co­or­di­nate in­stal­la­tion before the Christmas shutdown. Planning early helps keep the project on track.

Why October is the critical month

If new white­boards, display systems or mounts are on your list, October is the time to specify and order. Gilkon products are made to order at our Emu Heights facility in Western Sydney, and early ordering gives you time to confirm delivery dates, arrange in­stallers and plan site access before the school office closes.

What Gilkon covers in classroom and lecture theatre refits

• Mobile display stands for flexible teaching spaces

• Wall mounts and ceiling posts for fixed screens and pro­jec­tors

• Ceramic steel white­boards built for daily use

• Projector security cages for added pro­tec­tion

You can build and price Gilkon white­boards in the OPIE con­fig­u­ra­tor, then take the PDF quote straight to approval.

Gilkon is part of OPIE Man­u­fac­tur­ing Group, giving schools and education buyers access to broader Aus­tralian man­u­fac­tur­ing ca­pa­bil­i­ty across related fitout products.
