Questions
How much does a 48″ × 36″ chalkboard cost?
This board is $528 in Forest Green porcelain with a satin silver aluminum frame. The same size starts at $528 with an aluminum frame. Every board ships with a box of chalk, a felt eraser and wall brackets. Shipping is quoted to your ZIP.
How far away can people read it?
Here the headline letters are about 2¼″ tall, readable to about 70 feet, and the lines below are about 1″, readable to about 30 feet. That's a guide, not a measurement: chalk lettering varies with the hand, and sign makers figure about 30 feet of reading distance per inch of letter height.
Can I use chalk markers on it?
Yes. The surface is porcelain fused to steel, which is non-porous, so regular chalk and wet-erase chalk markers both wipe clean with a damp cloth. It's magnetic, too.
Can I change the size or the color?
Yes. Every board is built to the inch, up to 96″ wide and 48″ tall, in Classic Black or Forest Green, with any of six frames: light oak, walnut, cherry, black wood, or aluminum in silver or black. Start with this board and change anything in the quote builder.
How long does it take?
Your quote arrives within 24 hours. Once you approve it, the board is built within seven business days, plus shipping. Made in the USA.
