    When we were approached to discuss the differences of whiteboards vs. chalkboards, it seemed like a dubious task. You write on one with chalk and the other with dry erase markers, right? If that was the extent of the relationship between chalkboard and whiteboard writing surfaces, this would be an incredibly short blog post.

    • Whiteboards and chalkboards are both writing surfaces that share the same basic function \u2013 facilitating information-sharing

      <\/li>
    • The most prominent feature of both surfaces is their simple reusability for this purpose. Both CeramicSteel whiteboards and chalkboards can be used over and over for 50 years or longer when cared for properly, and unlike other writing surfaces, CeramicSteel whiteboards and chalkboards don\u2019t ghost or stain after use.

      <\/li>
    • They can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, often custom designed to fit the modern space.

      <\/li>
    • There is a basic selection of standard colors available for\u00a0both\u00a0chalkboard or whiteboard surfaces,\u00a0and both can be produced in custom colors as well. These colors all allow for high-contrast markings, whether chalkboard or whiteboard, offering the greatest viewing quality possible.

      <\/li>
    • Safe, clean and environmentally sustainable, both whiteboard and chalkboard CeramicSteel writing surfaces are Cradle-to-Cradle Bronze Certified and emit no VOCs.

      <\/li>
    • In addition to responsible manufacturing, CeramicSteel whiteboard and chalkboard writing surfaces are resistant to stains, scratches, fire, bacteria and chemicals.

      <\/li>
    • They\u2019re both durable and long-lasting\u00a0writing\u00a0surfaces ideal for environments requiring high-performance material.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      Whiteboards are also known as dry erase boards.
      This describes the act of writing with dry erase markers and
      easy removal of marker ink using a dry eraser or cloth.<\/p>

      • CeramicSteel whiteboards will also tolerate permanent marker and other inks. To get rid of permanent marker, a trick is to write over the marking with a dry erase marker and erase \u2013 it\u2019s as simple as that. Permanent marker and ink can also be easily removed using a solvent cleaner. Despite its ability to withstand a variety of writing tools, chalk is not compatible with whiteboard surfaces. The dry chalk doesn\u2019t adhere to gloss surfaces like it does to a matte surface.

        <\/li>
      • Chalkboards, on the other hand, are specifically designed for use with dry chalk sticks. Dry chalk can be easily erased from CeramicSteel chalkboards with a dry felt eraser. Chalk doesn\u2019t stain or ghost, but it can leave behind a \u201cchalky\u201d appearance after heavy use between cleaning with a wet cloth.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

        Can You Use Dry Erase Markers On Chalkboards?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        Because CeramicSteel chalkboards are smooth and nonporous, chalk pens or wet chalk can easily be used to write on the surface, too \u2013 it just requires a wet erase with soap and water. While dry erase markers, permanent markers and other inks won\u2019t damage CeramicSteel chalkboards, they aren\u2019t recommended; these tools don\u2019t provide enough contrast against the chalkboard\u2019s dark surface for clarity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

        • As a dark, relatively matte surface, chalkboards absorb light. As a result of this nature, chalkboard surfaces aren\u2019t ideal for projecting \u2013 a process wholly based on the projection of light. While it\u2019s possible to project onto chalkboard surfaces, and it has been done, it\u2019s not recommended when a quality image and clear communication is the bottom line.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0

          <\/li>
        • When projecting is a priority, whiteboard surfaces\u00a0or dedicated\u00a0<\/span>projection surfaces\u00a0are the best option. The light-colored surface reflects light, creating a clean, crisp image. \u00a0PolyVision CeramicSteel whiteboard surfaces have a variety of gloss levels for optimal visibility in any environment. Lower gloss levels produce less glare for more frequent users of projectors.

          <\/span><\/li>
        • Finally, if attention to detail is what you\u2019re after, chalkboards are the surface of choice. Biology professors across the globe sing the chalkboard\u2019s praises for its forgiveness with shading, line thickness and scrawling minutia when creating intricate diagrams for their lectures.\u00a0This allows for chalkboards to display more detail in their drawings, as compared to the more bold lines seen on dry erase boards or whiteboards.\u00a0Whiteboard markers only offer one shade level regardless of pressure or ink layering and are typically bulky in nature, providing a less authentic writing experience for small hands learning penmanship.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

          When it comes down to brass tacks, CeramicSteel whiteboards and chalkboards are both premium writing surfaces with an environmentally responsible manufacturing process and safe, healthy composition for any setting. Understanding the quality helps make the selection process easier. All that\u2019s left is to decide which surface best meets the needs of your space \u2013 will you require a projector? A whiteboard is your best option. If you\u2019re teaching penmanship, or a cool, retro look fits your space \u2013 a chalkboard is right up your alley.<\/p>

          Either CeramicSteel selection can always be made with confidence, just be sure to follow the recommended cleaning and care instructions and use the recommended accessories to maximize performance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
