Benefits

When it comes to selecting the best markerboard provider for your project, it’s critical to enlist a reputable fabricator for alignment with your project’s specifications, lead time, and logistics.

Designed to combine personalization and innovation, while improving collaboration among teams in myriad professional settings, glass markerboards offer several benefits and customizations, such as technology integration, flame-forged colors, custom patterns, and easy installation. 

Unlike traditional dry-erase boards, glass markerboards are easy to clean and won’t ghost or stain over time. They’re also built and designed with the most specialized and advanced fabrication and production processes.

Customizations

Below are five customizations to consider when planning your next markerboard project. It’s also important to work with a glass fabricator incorporating unique shipping and crating processes for safe delivery and easy installation. 

 

1. Color-Matching & Back-Painting

Backed by Dillmeier Glass Company’s lifetime guarantee,* glass markerboards can be customized through creative color-matching and back-painting.

For an even sleeker appearance, consider Dillmeier Glass Company’s flame-forged ceramic color-coating process. Similar to back-painting, this is also completed prior to tempering with ceramic ink. It involves an additional layer, whereby glass is heated to approximately 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. Color is then fused into the glass at the molecular level for an even higher durability, quality, and appearance. 

 

2. Technology Integration

With many organizations and academic institutions adopting remote work and digital learning due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it’s more important than ever to rely on clear, consistent and technologically advanced communications.

Unlike traditional dry-erase boards, glass markerboards are easy to clean and won’t ghost or stain over time.

 

3. Low-Iron Glass

Markerboards fabricated with high-quality, low-iron glass achieve the highest transparency levels, ideal for back-painting. 

Typically used for high-end vitrines, low-iron glass undergoes a specialized process removing its natural, greenish tint while increasing transparency. This achieves a much smoother appearance, and facilitates the best-possible color-matching levels. 

 

4. Configurations & Sizing

When it comes to configurations, sizing, and other functional customizations, adding special float mounts or standoff hardware with metal or steel accents provides additional flair. This can include magnetic or non-magnetic arrangements, as well as custom shapes and sizes diverting from rectangular markerboards. 

 

5. Crating & Packing

It’s also prudent to work with a glass fabricator boasting unique crating, packing and shipment processes. This can ensure your glass markerboard arrives at your destination on time, intact, and ready for the installer. 

Each crate is custom packed and built to design specifications, rather than vice-versa. A glass fabricator with a diligent logistics department will also consider shipment type, size, weight, carrier company, and upcoming weather conditions.**
