Iglu Student Dorms – Bright and Bold

8 April 2025
Wilko Painting were the professionals called out to complete an interior painting of this residential apartment building in Kelvin Grove, Brisbane, Queensland.

Students walking in to these fresh apartments on Blamey Street will have bright and bold oranges and yellows welcoming them thanks to the qualified and efficient team at Wilko Painting.

With 7 floors containing approximately 150 apartments each with 5 rooms and/or common areas it is paramount to have a reliable, consistent and expert team on this hefty residential apartment building project. Wilko Painting have a long record of experience and expertise in the painting of such residential undertakings, as well as commercial warehouses and much, much more…

At Iglu Student Dorms in Kelvin Grove, where students will undoubtedly unleash their cooking skills in the kitchens and creativity in the common rooms, is if very important to have long-lasting and durable paints. Light tones such as oranges and yellows require multiple coats and a well-planned and managed execution to get a quality finish.

Wilko Painting used premium paints throughout, with particular care in application and repainting to ensure complete coverage and a perfect-quality result, at Iglu Student Dorms. Repainting might sound like quite the difficult and intensive task – and it sure is – but with years of experience behind the Wilko Painting professionals, they have implemented the best methods and practices to provide quality with minimal disruption.

Given the long duration of this residential colouring project, management was key to ensuring quality and the level of detail across the year-long engagement. The accomplished Wilko Painting team ended up using in excess of 10,000 litres – about 100 bathtubs full! – and up to 12 staff, with 5 different Dulux paint colours and over 12,600 man-hours. Just the large and technical project Wilko Painting are used to and are superb at executing!
