By default, most
businesses and schools have whiteboards in their conference rooms or thinking
pods and classrooms. This is a must-have tool as meetings, lectures, and
brainstorming usually happen in these areas and, more or often than not, notes
or illustrations have to be written or drawn.
However, a lot of the
businesses and schools are now shifting to using whiteboard wall paints in
their offices because of its remarkable advantages, including its easy
application and the easy-to-erase process of stains without having to worry so
much about marks and stains.
Now, if you are planning
to get rid of your whiteboards for good and transform your entire office into a
creative workspace, then considering the following in choosing the best
whiteboard paint.
Environment-Friendly
There is no doubt that
traditional whiteboards are non-biodegradable. Meaning, they usually end up in
landfills with no chances of being recycled. In other words, they are not beneficial
for the environment.
This makes the whiteboard
wall paints a more cost-efficient and wiser choice. It is more
environment-friendly compared to mounted whiteboards. However, one still cannot
deny that there are whiteboard paints that use different materials as compared
to the others.
When choosing your
whiteboard paint, be sure that it is LEED compliant and is made of low-volatile
organic materials. Meaning to say, the whiteboard paint you should use should
be solvent-free, making it safer for the environment.
Let's take into
consideration ThinkPaint. This product is boasts of 70% a "Barcol"
hardness and 100% glass 100%. It also has a thixotropic index of 6. Meaning to
say, you only need to apply the paint once—no more second coating. To add,
ThinkPaint does not need a Red Label warning because it is less flammable as
compared to the others, and it uses aliphatic polyurethane and not epoxy
Appearance
Choose a whiteboard paint
that does not only look good when applied but also can be applied to almost any
surface.
It is also wise to take
into account if your whiteboard paint can also be customized based on your
preferences.
For ThinkPaint, this is
possible. You can choose if you want it to be antiglare or not and you even
have the power to choose the color you want—yes, not just white!
Quality and Sustainability
Look for a product that
not only promises high quality but also has the means of proving it.
