EverWhite Lifetime Guarantee 		Dry Erase Boards are not all created equal. Please allow us to explain...

In the dry erase board industry, most dry erase boards fall into one of three classes -- melamine, porcelain, or EverWhite. Each class of boards utilizes a different surface. While dry erase boards from each class may look very similar on day one (shiny white), the same dry erase boards will look very different in as little as a few years.

In fact, if you choose to install a melamine dry erase board (the cheapest and, therefore, most popular dry erase option), you will need to replace that dry erase board every 3 to 5 years due to excessive ghosting and staining. However, EverWhite dry erase boards are guaranteed to stay white for the life of the building in which they are installed!
WHICH IS THE SUPERIOR DRY ERASE BOARD... MELAMINE, PORCELAIN, OR EVERWHITE?
The Facts on MELAMINE:
  • Manufactured with a painted dry erase surface that allows ink to penetrate the surface
  • Stains and ghosts easily
  • Guaranteed for a maximum of 5 years
  • The surface needs to be cleaned with expensive, harsh cleaners frequently
  • Permanent marker stays permanent, permanently
  • Only available in a non-magnetic surface
The Facts on PORCELAIN:
  • Manufactured with a baked-on enamel surface
  • Enamel can be saturated with marker stains over time
  • It is recommended that the surface be cleaned with special marker cleaners
  • Permanent marker is very difficult and time-consuming to remove, and often cannot be completely eliminated
  • Only available in a magnetic surface
The Facts on EVERWHITE:
  • Manufactured with a polyester hard coat surface that won't allow ink to penetrate the surface
  • LIFETIME GUARANTEED against ghosting and staining
  • The surface can be cleaned with just water or window cleaner
  • Permanent marker can be erased easily
  • Available in a magnetic or non-magnetic surface
Do the math and see for yourself why choosing EverWhite dry erase boards is the smartest decision you could make today, as well as for years to come.
