Push Pull Whiteboard and Chalkboard System
A push pull board is a classroom wall system where two or three panels slide over each other inside one aluminium frame.
What This Board Is
A push pull board is a classroom wall system where two or three panels slide over each other inside one aluminium frame. Because the panels can be specified individually, one wall can carry a green chalkboard on the left, a matt projection whiteboard in the centre and a chalkboard again on the right. Teaching and projection then share the same wall without competing for it.
Key Benefits- Sliding panels expose fresh writing space without erasing what is already on the board
- Panel by panel surface choice puts chalk writing and projection on the same wall
- One aluminium frame carries the whole system so only one wall fixing is needed
- Combinations can be set per room rather than per building
Buyers
- Education project contractors fitting out classrooms
- University and college estates teams
- Training centre operators specifying front wall systems
Pain Points
- A single board that has to be erased mid lesson before the point is finished
- A projector screen that covers the writing board whenever it is used
- Separate boards and screens fighting for the same limited front wall
Where It Is Used
- University lecture rooms where a projector shares the front wall
- Training centres running long sessions that outgrow a single board
- Secondary school maths and science rooms
- Corporate training rooms with fixed projection
How It Is Built
- Two or three sliding panels in one exterior aluminium frame
- Each panel specified as green chalkboard glossy whiteboard or matt projection whiteboard
- Resin coated or ceramic coated writing steel surfaces
- Corrugated cardboard or MDF core with galvanized steel back
- Panel surface lamination
- Core and back sheet bonding
- Aluminium track and exterior frame assembly
- Slide mechanism fitting and travel test

Checked Before Packing
- Each panel slid through its full travel before packing
- Panel surfaces checked for colour match within one system
- Frame squareness checked so panels do not bind in the track
What Can Change
- Two or three panel configurations
- Any combination of green chalkboard glossy whiteboard and matt projection surfaces
- Sizes outside the standard three can be custom made
Getting It Right On Site
- Set the projection panel where the beamer throw lands before fixing the frame
- Slide panels by the frame edge rather than pushing on the writing face
- Keep chalk dust out of the track by wiping the rail at the end of the day
How It Differs From The Alternatives
Compared with Rise and fall green chalkboard
Rise and fall drops the upper panel down; push pull slides panels sideways and lets you mix surface types.
Compared with Three in one folded chalkboard
The folded board wings out from the centre; the push pull system stays flush to the wall.
