We use 4 types of surface for all our chalkboards.

MDF MR

The most common surface we use is moisture resistant MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard).
The MDF is painted 3-4 times with high-quality chalkboard paint to ensure colour density and durability.
These boards can be used indoors or outdoors.
This type of board is perfect for use with stick chalk although liquid chalk pens can also work.
To clean the boards a damp cloth with a mild detergent (Mr Muscle) or our chalkboard cleaner should be used.
Never use an abrasive cleaner as this will remove the chalkboard paint.

We use this surface on some of our framed boards.
This surface is perfect for use with liquid chalk pens but is too smooth to make it ideal for stick chalk.
To clean the boards a damp cloth with a mild detergent should be used.
Never use an abrasive cleaner as this will damage the surface.
Providing it is looked after this surface should last for many years.

We use this surface on our premium boards.
HPL is very durable and smooth and is perfect for use with Liquid chalk pens & stick chalk.

HPL can be used time and again without the integrity of the surface being compromised.
