DOES WHITEBOARD PAINT REALLY WORK?

Image
Does whiteboard paint really work? Yes, it works, and the best quality whiteboard paint lasts longer than typical traditional whiteboards. Chemicals and some solvents in the pens used on whiteboards tend to break down the surface of a traditional whiteboard; thus, the dingy grey discoloration is usually seen within about three years. This causes the need for replacement which can be not only costly but adds more non-biodegradable trash to our landfills. ReMARKable Whiteboard Paint is completely impervious and, when properly maintained, has been reported to look and perform the same ten years later just as it did when originally properly installed. ReMARKable Whiteboard Paint allows for expanded, seamless collaboration space not obtained by traditional whiteboards because of limitations in the size in which the material may be manufactured. Proper and easy preparation is key. You want your smooth surface to be sealed well with one of the suggested manufacturer’s base paints so that the ...

HOW TO TURN A CHALKBOARD INTO A DRY-ERASE BOARD

Image
How to Turn a Chalkboard into a Dry-Erase Board Old school chalkboards produce loads of messy allergy-inducing dust and are difficult to erase and maintain easily. Besides, text and drawings done on chalkboards are often hard to see clearly, especially if the boards haven’t been cleaned recently and old chalk dust has been allowed to collect on the surface. So, if your school or office still has a collection of old-fashioned chalkboards in place, it may be high time to upgrade to more modern, hygienic, and easy-to-use writing surfaces such as dry-erase coated walls. Chalkboards are Being Phased out around the World For the past several decades, chalkboards have experienced a steady and rapid decline in worldwide popularity due to the rise of dry-erase and dry-erase coated walls. Nowadays, few people in business, education, medicine, or other fields choose to use traditional chalkboards because they’re messy to use, spread chalk dust around a room when written on, and require continuous...

Clear Whiteboard Paint Tech Specs

Image
Introduction: The clear and white versions of ReMARKable whiteboard paint are the finest products of their kind on the market today. However, our paints need to be handled, applied, and maintained according to our easy-to-follow instructions, or they will not look and function as they were designed to. Below are some recommendations on the application, storage, and maintenance of our clear whiteboard coating. COLOR CLEAR It’s strongly recommended that high-quality clear ReMARKable whiteboard paint be applied over our proprietary base paint/primer, which can be tinted with universal colorants to achieve any light or mid-toned color you like. It’s best to avoid darker colors for this purpose to allow your dry erase marker ink to be easily visible when you write or draw on the finished whiteboard surface. Our clear coating may also be applied over base coats comprised of water-based enamels with a satin or eggshell finish, but it’s necessary to avoid paints containing additives such as fl...

WHITEBOARD WALL QUOTES FOR APRIL 2021

Image
APRIL: A MONTH OF RENEWAL AND REBIRTH April is a time of transition, a period of renewal and rebirth in the world of nature, coming when winter has just ended and spring is just beginning. For many writers, the month is a symbol of youth, freshness, and promise. However, for others, April brings back old memories and triggers nostalgia about the past. April is also an action-packed month, starting with the prankster’s holiday, All Fools’ Day followed by the moveable feast of Easter, and the major annual event known as Earth Day, which is celebrated worldwide on April 22 to show support for environmental conservation. What’s more, April is the month when spring really starts to gain momentum in many places – and for most people, that’s reason enough to be happy. One way to welcome the arrival of spring is to post uplifting quotes about April on your whiteboard-coated wall. Doing so can provide you with constant reminders of the season’s refreshing weather and the rebirth of plant and an...

How Many Coats Of Dry-Erase Paint Should I Use?

Image
Introduction The manufacturer’s instructions that come with most standard types of paint, such as interior and exterior latex house paint, state that it’s necessary to apply at least two coats of their products to a substrate to obtain the optimal results; namely, a completely opaque, uniformly colored, durable, and cleanable surface. Similarly, many dry-erase coating companies advise applying two layers of their products to get the best effect; that is, a long-lasting surface that is easily written on with dry-erase markers and readily erased with standard dry-erase erasers or cloths. However, with ReMARKable dry erase paint, only one coat is required to obtain a highly resilient, impermeable, and easily written on and erased dry-erase surface that will last for ten or more years of regular use before needing to be replaced. ONE COAT OF STANDARD PAINT IS INSUFFICIENT FOR ADEQUATE COVERAGE In contrast, depending on the hue and condition of the surface to be painted, one coat of any sta...

Whiteboard Coated Walls: Ideal for Social Distancing in the Classroom

Image
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recently updated K–12 school guidelines to reflect the latest research on the practice of physical distancing among students in classroom settings. The CDC now advises that the use of masks should remain universal and that elementary school students should maintain a safe distance of at least three feet from one another in the classroom, whether the COVID-19 transmission rate in their area is low, moderate, substantial, or high. In middle and high schools, the CDC recommends the same amount of distancing in classrooms with universal mask use, where community transmission is low, moderate, or substantial. SOCIAL DISTANCING WHEN WRITING IN FRONT OF CLASS IS EASY WITH WHITEBOARD WALLS The CDC’s updated strategy is an important element in the agency’s attempt to help schools open and remain open for in-person instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the use of whiteboard coated walls is one practical way to help in this effor...
