Frequently Asked Questions

Are A-Boards suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, many of our A-Boards are designed to be weather-resistant and suitable for outdoor use. They are made with durable frames and protective finishes to handle typical UK weather, but we recommend storing them indoors during extreme conditions to prolong their life.

Can I use liquid chalk markers on all your boards?

Yes, our chalkboards and A-boards are compatible with liquid chalk markers and traditional chalks. For best results, use on non-porous surfaces to ensure easy cleaning.

How do I clean chalkboards and A-Boards?

We recommend using a damp cloth or our specialist blackboard cleaning sprays or wipes to wipe away chalk or marker residue. Regular cleaning helps prevent ghosting and keeps your boards looking fresh.

Do you offer custom branding or printing on A-Boards?

Yes! We can personalise your A-Board with your logo, colours, or custom designs. Branded boards are a great way to increase visibility and align signage with your brand.

What sizes do your chalkboards and A-Boards come in?

Our boards come in a range of sizes, from small tabletop chalkboards to large freestanding pavement signs. We can also create bespoke sizes to suit your space.

Are your chalkboards sustainable?

Yes, many of our chalkboards and A-Boards are made in the UK using sustainable manufacturing processes. We also promote reusable products to reduce waste.

How do I stop my A-Board from blowing over?

We recommend using A-Boards with weighted or stabilised bases for outdoor use. You can also add extra weight or position them in sheltered areas to reduce wind impact.

Can your A-Boards be double-sided?

Most of our A-Boards are double-sided, allowing you to display messages on both sides for maximum visibility to passing foot traffic.

How long do liquid chalk markers last on the boards?

Chalk markers can last several days or weeks without smudging under normal conditions. However, they are not fully waterproof and may require touch-ups if exposed to heavy rain.

Do you offer fast delivery on chalkboards and accessories?

We offer quick UK and European delivery and low minimum order quantities, so you can update your signage without delay.
