Short answer: six board types share one set of frame colours, so a pinboard, a writing board and a glass board can match on one wall. Magnetic, white and glass boards are always framed; pin and cork boards can be framed or frameless.
The six board types
| Board | Surface and build | Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Framed pinboard | Fabric or cork surface where pin holes close up over time, foam core, engineered wood back | Solid wood frame |
| Frameless pinboard | Fabric in five colours, foam core, engineered wood back | None |
| Cork board | 100% natural cork where pin holes close up over time | Framed or frameless |
| Magnetic board | Gloss magnetic laminate on a steel sheet, engineered wood core | Framed only; wood or polystyrene |
| White board | Smooth gloss wipe-clean surface, engineered wood core | Framed only; wood or polystyrene |
| Glass board | Regular thin glass (2 to 3 mm) over coloured vinyl on engineered wood; the magnetic version adds an iron sheet | In a frame |
Frame colours: Black, White, Dark Brown, Natural Brown, Golden and Antique Gold; any other colour on request. Standard pinboard sizes: sixteen, from 12 x 12 to 36 x 24 inches; every other board and size is made to measure. Any map, pattern or artwork can be printed on every board type.
