West Ridge Middle School has been searching for a solution to convert our old chalkboards to whiteboards…and I think we found it!
Everase Corp recently resurfaced one of our chalkboards for free and it’s AWESOME!
It looks like a new whiteboard, has a great writing surface, and isn’t supposed to “ghost”. It’s essentially a high gloss “skin” that adheres to the board. The resurface was done in January 2017 so we’ve had several months of usage and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results to date.
Clark Rachesky, the Regional Business Manager, offered to resurface one in each of our Eanes schools. The offer is for any chalkboard or old whiteboard up to 16 feet in length ($500 value).
The process took about 45 minutes and we were very impressed with Clark, who did the work.
Last year we had one done by 3M – which the teacher loves – but it isn’t as high of a quality
(and has seams). This is a better product. Additionally, Clark was a pleasure, very
meticulous, knowledgeable, and truly believes in the product. Everase is a BuyBoard
member!
West Ridge Middle School is planning to convert more. Cost will likely be about $350/board installed if bought in bulk. The product is purchased in 100′ rolls and ends up being about $2800/roll installed. You can likely save about $1K doing it yourself….which I assisted with and it’s doable, BUT
would take a bit of time to learn to do it right. I HIGHLY recommend this!
