Presentation Boards For Schools Colleges and Universities
Classrooms are the hardest environment a presentation board works in: written on for six hours a day, erased dozens of times, and expected to last the life of the building.
What Goes Wrong In These Buildings
- A single board that runs out of space halfway through a derivation
- Projectors and writing boards competing for one front wall
- Surfaces that go shiny and stop taking chalk after a few terms
- Rooms whose layout changes between teaching exams and events
What The Specification Has To Cover
- Large continuous writing area on a fixed wall height
- Chalk and dry erase surfaces available in the same room
- Ceramic coated surfaces where boards are used all day
- Mobile boards for rooms that change use

Background Reading For This Sector
Sizing a Classroom Chalkboard Wall
Classroom boards fail for two reasons: the wall is too short for the teaching, or the board was made in one piece when it should have been two.
How To Choose a Whiteboard Writing Surface
Melamine, resin coated steel, ceramic coated steel and tempered glass write about the same on day one and very differently three years later. This guide sets out what separates them.
Schools Colleges and Universities Questions
Which board suits a lecture theatre with a projector?
A push pull system, with a matt projection panel in the centre and chalkboard panels either side.
Should we specify ceramic or resin coated steel?
Ceramic coated where the room is taught in all day. Resin coated is the general purpose choice.
Can one order cover a whole school?
Yes. Send the room schedule with sizes and we will work out how it loads into a 40'HQ container.
