Chalkboards: The Most Versatile Notice Boards Around

by Jill Smith Shopping

Chalkboards are amongst the many different types of notice board which are popular within educational establishments, business premises and for personal use alike. Here I shall explain the various uses for such boards in each category, which will highlight to you just how versatile this form of notice board really is.

Education Uses: Notice boards are a necessity for use in schools and have been for as long as they have been around for! In early ages, slate tiles were used to scribe on, and it was from here that the Chalkboards, or black board as it was often called, came about and was used with simple sticks of white chalk. It was up until relatively recent years that schools and colleges used this form of notice board on a large scale, and many of you will still remember them being used in your own school – perhaps you will have memories of being asked to wipe the board clean, or clap the erasers together to clear the chalk dust! It was in more recent years that they became practically extinct within all educational establishments due to health and safety concerns over the dust and affects it had on pupils’ health when inhaled. You can now buy chalkboards which are made with a high pressure laminate material surface which is coated with the special black paint. These can be used with wither traditional chalk sticks or the more popular chalk marker pen. These are perfect for use in schools and there are even versions available which are suitable for use outside in the playground.

Business Use: A chalk board will do everything the modern whiteboard will do but has the added bonus of a ‘traditional’ appearance. This is why some businesses choose to use them in their offices. However, the main demand for these boards within the business world is inside hospitality premises such as bars, hotels, pubs and restaurants. They are often used as menu and special offer displays as they create the desired traditional appearance and are still so easy to write on and update information as and when required.

Home Use: Many busy households choose to have some form of notice board, whether it be hung in a common area such as the kitchen or study for all members of the family to have access to important dates, housework duties etc, or in their children’s bedroom where it can be used to assist them in organisation of their homework, study schedules, or simply for pleasure. You can buy cheap chalkboards readily online as well as in popular high street stores, and they are available in various sizes, ensuring you are bound to find the right board for you.
