Advantages of A Porcelain Steel Dry Erase Surface

Fri, 2011-09-16

Dirty hands and clouds of chalk dust are becoming obsolete.  Dry erase boards are rapidly replacing the archaic chalkboard, becoming an effective tool for communication in offices and classrooms nationwide.

A dry erase board is easy to use, easy to clean, and can last for a long time.

There are several practical reasons why dry erase boards are becoming more popular:

  • Using dry erase markers completely eliminates messy chalk dust.  It also offers an advantage in areas containing dust sensitive equipment.
     
  • It doubles as a projection screen for presentations.  By showing your presentation on a dry erase board. 

    You can enhance your presentation by writing directly on the board, filling in blanks, editing, underlining, and making comments, which in turn shows through the projected image.

     
  • A dry erase board marker is easier to hold and write with than chalk, which can benefit persons with limited mobility in their hands.
     
  • Dry erase markers are ergonomically friendly.  Using a maker on a dry erase board takes less time, effort, and pressure than writing on a chalkboard.

There are several different types of dry erase surfaces:  Melamine, Over-Laminate, and Porcelain Steel.  Stonehouse manufactures Porcelain Steel Dry Erase Boards because of the following advantages:

They Stay Cleaner…
 

The surface of a porcelain steel dry erase board is stain, shadowing and ghosting resistant.  These boards stay clean and white for years to come!  Since the surface is optimized to reduce residual marks, it comes clean with one wipe of your dry erase eraser. 

Even if you leave marker on the board for weeks, all you need is soap and water.  With a few tips and tricks, you can even get rid of those hard-to-remove marks, or an accidental use of a permanent marker.

 

…and Last Longer!
 

A porcelain steel surface is designed to last a long time.  Since the porcelain steel surface is glass-hard, it makes it one of the most durable dry erase surfaces available.  It’s virtually indestructible, with a high resistance to impact damage, abrasion, scratching, and color fading. 

When coupled with our Stonehouse Guarantee, a magnetic porcelain steel board from Stonehouse Signs will outlast and outperform all the competition.

 

100% Magnetic
 

Let your dry erase board double as a bulletin board!  A porcelain steel writing surface is magnetic, which allows you to use magnets to post hard copy notes, keep printed lists and schedules handy, and attach important papers directly to your board. 

You can also use magnetic accessories to organize, track, and code.  Having a magnetic dry erase board gives you the freedom to customize and ensure that all your work is gathered in one place.
