Whiteboard R Us

This surface is a pre painted product, and is coated in a similar way to colourbond steel. As it is essentially a painted surface, hence, slightly porous, whiteboard markers tend to 'bleed" below the surface. This is not a problem, but it means the board will require much more cleaning. If written information is left on the surface for extended periods, it will leave a ghost residue. Usually what happens with this surface if used in a large organization is that no one takes the responsibility of maintaining the board, and eventually the surface begins to stain heavily, and will not clean. Usually the next thing to happen is that the board is cleaned with jiff or an abrasive cleaner. When this occurs, the surface is permanently damaged. This surface is good for a very small office where there are one or two people responsible for the care of the board and a low usage.

The other surface is Vitreous Enamel (Porcelain/Ceramic). This surface is glass baked onto steel. Being a glass surface, it will not scratch, and glass being non porous, markers will not "bleed" below the surface, which means that it is easier to clean and it is far more durable.

We manufacture 2 types of writing surface.

One surface is called Standard. This surface is a pre painted product (coated) onto a non magnetic backing. This surface is good for low usage such as homes or cafe's. Being a coated surface, it will eventually wear over time.

The other surface is Ceramic. This surface is glass baked onto steel and has a dark green surface. Being a glass surface, it will not wear, and it is also magnetic as it is a steel based surface. This surface is typically used in schools

Digital Print
This process achieves a full colour print, and the design is printed onto white vinyl sheet, a laminate of dry erase film is applied over the top of the digital print, and this is then laminated to the whiteboard surface. The dry erase film turns the digital print back to a surface where whiteboard markers can be used and removed, but the surface has similar properties to that of the standard acrylic writing surface, so care must be taken when cleaning this surface.

This process requires digital files to reproduce the design onto the whiteboard such as EPS, AI, Illustrator or Vector files

Laser Engraving
This process can only be done on the vitreous enamel surface, and can only be one colour (black). The image would be etched into the surface, but bold text and logos etc, would only be an outline. The thickness of the lines can be as thin as 0.40mm. Any logo's or special designs would need to be supplied in a digital file format such as DXF.
