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.

Wall Mounted or Mobile Presentation Boards
The choice is usually decided by the building rather than the board: leases, layout changes and how many rooms share one board.

Every board Senko makes is the same five decisions: surface, middle, back, frame and corner. Reading a specification table becomes straightforward once you know what each layer does.

Hand written signage is cheap to change and easy to get wrong. Contrast, frame material and where the board stands matter more than the board itself.

Notice boards are judged on how they look after years of pins going in and out. The surface, not the frame, decides that.

Which guide should I read first?
If you are specifying boards for a building, start with the writing surface comparison. If you build boards yourself, start with the steel coil buying guide.
Are these guides specific to Senko products?
They are written from what we manufacture, so the surfaces cores and frames described are the ones we actually supply.
Can you advise on a specific room?
Yes. Send the wall dimensions and how the room is used over WhatsApp or email and we will suggest a build.
Still Not Sure Which Board You Need
Describe the room and the problem. We answer with a build, not a catalogue page.
