What’s a glass whiteboard, and is it better than a whiteboard?

Glass boards are a functional and stylish board option. Made from tempered glass, these boards offer a premium look and style, coupled with durable glass and a smooth finish. The tempered glass is scratch and mark resistant, and they maintain practicality while looking at home in high-end offices and other spaces. They’re easy to clean and stain resistant, too, making them a great choice for schools and businesses.

However, they aren’t necessarily better than whiteboards for every school, office, or business. While they can offer better performance and longevity over their competitors, they have their disadvantages too. Glass boards are much more expensive than whiteboards, and because they’re heavier, you might find them more difficult to transport.

Choosing the right board for you

Different types of whiteboard each have their own advantages and disadvantages. When it comes to choosing, it’s important to think about what you need to use the board for and where you’re going to be using it.

Whiteboards, whether magnetic or non-magnetic, are a versatile and simple choice for most purposes. These are great options for classrooms and offices, and even home environments. Compatible with whiteboard markers, these are always a solid option. Chalkboards aren’t common in classrooms these days, but they’re used very effectively in street-based advertising outside of stores, cafes, and bars.

While glass boards are an effective, practical, and stylish option, they are more expensive than the alternatives and so may not be well-suited to most ordinary settings. They’re a great fit in medical settings, since they’re easy to clean and very durable, but they might not be perfect if you’re looking for a whiteboard for home use.
