Three Great Brands of Chalkboards - Comparing Chalk Board Manufacturers

Chalkboards are the focal point of every classroom, from elementary school all the way up to post-graduate programs. They offer an easy way to convey information and not only can they be used at school, they can be used in the workplace as well, especially in conference rooms and workshops. Here are three brands of chalkboards you should consider if you're looking to add a board to your educational institution or office. These chalkboards are available in many different sizes and some are backed by generous warranties and quality guarantees.

Quartet Chalkboards

Quartet, a division of ACCO Brands, produces a lot of workplace organization and communication solutions, including chalkboards. The company manufactures heavy-duty boards made from black porcelain that look exceptionally elegant in high-class offices and training areas. These boards are magnetic so you can stick documents and visual aids to the board, and the porcelain gives the board a high-quality surface that won't easily scratch or dent. It even comes with a 50-year guarantee. Of course, such a great product comes at a price, but even if you're on a budget, you can still procure a Quartet chalkboard. For the budget-conscious, there are Quartet light-duty chalkboards that are great for casual, everyday use in break rooms and small classrooms. These boards aren't magnetic, but they still look great. They come with a five-year guarantee and a full-size storage rail for your chalk and erasers.

Ghent Chalkboards

Ghent Manufacturing, which is based in Ohio, is another great producer of chalkboards. Like Quartet, they make both light-duty and heavy-duty boards. Their heavy-duty boards are some of the best currently available. Ghent's Titan porcelain chalkboards are strong enough to hold up to frequent use and like the some of the Quartet boards, they have a magnetic surface and they're guaranteed for up to 50 years of use. They're also available in both framed and unframed versions.

If you currently have an old chalkboard that could use resurfacing, Ghent makes PDQ Quick Application sheets that can rejuvenate your old board and make it viable again. These sheets are made out of porcelain and are easy to install. And for the budget-conscious, there are Ghent light-duty boards that are non-magnetic, but still erase easily and come with a ten-year guarantee. These boards require chalking in before use and after cleaning, so there is some maintenance involved.

Balt Best-Rite Chalkboards

Finally, there are chalkboards produced by Balt Best-Rite. As with Quartet and Ghent, these boards are available for both light- and heavy-duty use. Balt's porcelain steel chalkboards are truly exceptional and they all have a fade-resistant, ghost-free surface that's super easy to read and magnetic to boot. They also have storage trays for your materials. Meanwhile, Balt's light-duty chalkboards are great for factories and common areas, and they're easy to clean because they don't require you to chalk them in afterwards. These boards are also super affordable, so just about anyone can afford one.

Chalkboards sure have come a long way since the dusty old blackboards in your elementary school classroom. Nowadays, there's a board for every setting, budget, and need. If you need a chalkboard, consider getting a Quartet, Ghent, or Balt Best-Rite board for your school or business today.
