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.

COATED MDF (3mm)

• 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.

HPL (3mm) (High-Pressure Laminate)

• 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.
• Hence we use the phrase EasytoClean to describe boards made with this material.
• To clean the boards a damp cloth with a mild detergent should be used.
• Never use an abrasive cleaner as this could damage the surface.
• HPL can be used time and again without the integrity of the surface being compromised.

FOAMEX 

• A PVC foam board that is ideal for printing and signage.
• It has a smooth, completely flat matt surface and is both durable and lightweight.
• It is ideal for long term indoor use and short term outdoor use.
• To clean the boards a damp cloth with a mild detergent should be used.
• Never use an abrasive cleaner as this could damage the surface.
