The Walglass whiteboard offers a 24 by 18 inch writing area encased in a sturdy 6063 aluminum alloy frame. This material choice provides a high strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring the unit remains rigid while weighing only about 3.2 lbs. The design features a double-sided surface, which effectively doubles the usable space for home-schooling or office projects before the board needs to be cleaned.
The internal core is constructed from a honeycomb paper material sandwiched between lacquered steel sheets. This allows for a lightweight feel, though it is best kept in climate-controlled environments to prevent moisture from affecting the internal structure. The aluminum frame is designed to resist warping, providing a more stable writing experience than frameless alternatives. The sliding ABS plastic hooks allow for flexible hanging, though they are best used for the board itself rather than supporting additional heavy weight.
Usage and Care Tips
- Use non-abrasive cleaners to maintain the integrity of the lacquered steel surface.
- Erasing within 72 hours is recommended to keep the surface looking fresh and prevent ink staining.
- The double-sided feature allows for quick transitions between different sets of notes or schedules.
- Standard ceramic magnets work well, though high-strength magnets offer the most secure grip.
Specifications indicate that the surface is prone to micro-scratching if abrasive tools are used. To ensure the longest lifespan for the coating, using high-quality dry-erase markers and soft cloths is advised. The corner protectors are designed for safety and are friction-fitted to the frame; it is helpful to check them occasionally to ensure they remain snugly in place during transport.
For a more flexible, space-saving option that can be applied directly to a wall like wallpaper, the Lacqwo whiteboard roll is an interesting alternative.
