Education & School Fitouts

What is Education & School Fitouts?

Education and school fit-outs involve designing and installing interior joinery tailored for learning environments. This includes everything from student storage and resource cabinetry to teaching stations and wet areas. JB Joinery delivers purpose-built school furniture that NZ institutions rely on for safety, durability, and long-term value.

Reception Desks & Sign-In Areas


First impressions matter in education spaces. We manufacture custom-built reception counters and sign-in units that are accessible, hardwearing, and easy to clean. Designed for regular use by students, staff, and visitors, each piece is built to specification and finished in-house for consistency

Teaching Stations & Whiteboards

Teaching stations form the anchor point of modern classrooms. We produce custom cabinetry to support technology, whiteboards, storage, and mobility, allowing teachers to manage materials efficiently. Each station is tailored to suit classroom layout, teaching style, and equipment integration.

Classroom Wet Areas

We design and install joinery for classroom sinks and wet zones, ensuring surfaces are moisture-resistant and easy to maintain. These areas are built with laminate or melamine finishes to withstand frequent use and support learning activities in early childhood and primary environments.

Why Choose Joinery for Education Spaces?

Joinery in educational settings must withstand daily wear and retain a consistent, professional appearance. JB Joinery offers in-house manufacturing using high-quality melamine, veneer, and laminate finishes for long-term durability.

Our team is experienced in scheduling fitouts during school breaks, coordinating around term calendars to reduce disruption. We deliver reliable quality that supports safety, performance, and budget alignment with every item manufactured to order.

General Storage


We produce customised cabinetry for books, resources, and student gear, designed to suit specific classroom and staffroom layouts. Our general storage units are manufactured using easy-clean materials and built for consistent use across the school year.

Wall Panelling

Wall panelling adds warmth and acoustic benefits to learning spaces. We manufacture timber and composite panels in-house, finished to suit a variety of colour and material palettes. We offer layout solutions for clients exploring wall panelling ideas that meet durability and design needs in busy classroom environments.

The right benchtop depends on the environment and how it will be used. We work with stone, stainless steel, acrylic, HPL, and timber to suit design and durability needs. We’re happy to recommend options once project specifications are confirmed.

Yes, we can match veneer joinery to flooring or other timber elements. Our in-house team takes care to align grain, tone, and finish across surfaces for a cohesive final look.

We recommend hardwoods and other timbers that handle moisture and weather well, such as cedar or accoya. We’ll guide you based on your location, finish preference, and performance requirements.

Samples can be reviewed at our Christchurch premises. Once we’ve reviewed your plans or quote request, we can provide guidance on what to view and compare.

We support design detailing after a quote has been accepted. While we are not a design service, we work closely with clients/architects and contractors to finalise specifications and material selections.

Project timelines are defined once a quote is accepted. We work with clients to plan around construction programmes, school breaks, or staged rollouts as needed.
