Chalkboard vs. Chalk Vinyl

As well as painted surfaces, The Chalkboard Company also offers black chalkboard vinyl as a surface option for all framed boards (chalkboards, sandwich boards etc). This meets the needs of those who will be principally using wet-wipe markers. The latter are able to be used on painted chalkboard surfaces however when left on for any length of time, can be difficult to totally remove - leaving a shadow on the board surface. Wet-wipe markers can be removed totally from chalk-vinyl surfaces with a damp cloth. If you are interested in a chalkboard vinyl surface, please email through an enquiry or give us a call and we will be able to price this option for you. If you are intending to use chalk only then the best surface for you is a painted surface.

Four Chalkboard Colours are available:

  • Black
  • Blue
  • Pink
  • Green

The Chalkboard Company offers a quality chalkboard surface comprising several coats of chalkboard paint over primer.

We can access other chalkboard paint colours if you have something specific in mind so please Contact Us to discuss.
