Galvin Specialised product selection guide for education solutions

Well-designed schools can improve learning outcomes, health, and wellbeing. Government Architects NSW outlines the following design objectives as key considerations for new school developments and upgrades:

  • Better fit
  • Better performance
  • Better for community
  • Better for people
  • Better working
  • Better value
  • Better look and feel

While factors such as air quality, ventilation, natural lighting, thermal comfort, and acoustic performance have increasingly become front of mind, others like the mundane plumbing system don’t always get the attention they deserve. But recent health scares and the increasing pressure on costs have put the focus on providing safe water, and minimising costs for water usage and maintenance. When looking at the whole-of-lifecycle costs, a careful material selection is key to ensure that the products chosen are robust and durable requiring minimal maintenance.

Common challenges when designing a restroom in a school environment are:

  • Misuse, vandalism, and bullying
  • Maintenance and operating costs
  • Optimal use of space
  • Ensuring good health

Having provided solutions for the education sector for over 30 years, we understand all the needs and offer an extensive range of specifically designed products.

Lead Safe

At Galvin Engineering, our purpose is to provide Water Solutions for a Healthier Environment. Our focus is on the supply of specialised tapware, water management systems and fixtures for education, health, and public facilities. With increasing anxiety in the community around elevated lead levels in drinking water, we have responded by designing and manufacturing an innovative range of premium quality taps in new lead free and low lead materials – the GalvinClear® Lead Safe product range.

While all our products are safe and compliant with the stringent Australian standards, we wanted to provide you with the choice to future-proof your project by offering Lead Safe DZR and stainless steel options for your taps and bubbler selection.
