What are Glass Whiteboards?

Glass whiteboards are made of non-porous writing surfaces that are glass tempered safety and designed for dry-erase use. Glass whiteboards are not susceptible to ghosting and staining as they are made of glass while melamine and porcelain boards suffer from these problems. The glass surface can be painted at the back or laminated with colored films to improve its aesthetics and contrast. Tempered glass is very durable and lasts long due to its resistance to impact, thermal changes, and other factors. These boards can be used with standard dry-erase markers and magnetic accessories when they are backed with steel. Their non-porous surface makes them very easy to clean, hygienic operations, and constant writing clarity. Hence, they can be used in professional and high-traffic areas.
