Whiteboards have been around a long time–but whiteboard film is an emerging trend. It is a solution to some of the most basic yet troublesome issues associated with traditional freestanding and/or permanent whiteboards. These types of films can be applied to nearly any flat surface (glass, walls, doors). When you do this you transform underutilized spaces into whiteboard surfaces for collaboration.
There are DIY whiteboard films that you can find in craft stores and apply yourself. But, to be truly effective, hiring a professional film company is your best bet. The quality of film will be better and the application will last longer. This means you will reap the benefits below more readily–like creating, collaborating, and taking notes.
The Benefits of Whiteboard Films
- Customizable in shape and size: The problem with freestanding or permanently affixed whiteboards is they only come in certain sizes and shapes–rarely do they perfectly fit. Whiteboard film, on the other hand, can be cut to the size of any flat surface. This means they can be put almost anywhere! Also, this means you can get creative and have them tailored to virtually any size, shape, or configuration.
- Whiteboard film is attractive: Freestanding whiteboards aren’t known for their beauty. They are large and bulky and not great for a well-designed space. They also crowded out rooms and look awkward crammed into corners and small spaces. Permanent whiteboards aren’t much better. They take up entire walls and often appear stained and messy. We have all seen one with a permanent marker accidentally used on it. Replacement is expensive. When you use whiteboard film in your Chicago school or business–should permanent damage occur–replacement is only a fraction of the cost.
- Easy to maintain: High-quality whiteboard films do not get “ghosting” on them. This is when even after marks are erased, you can still see them. This improves appearances–because traditional whiteboards always look dirty, whereas whiteboard films do not. So, whiteboard film can be used extensively for years in your Chicago space with no ugly residue. This saves you money and leaves you with clean surfaces. !
