Whiteboards are essential in the modern classroom and conference room. Their smooth surfaces are easy to write on using dry erase markers. When one writes on a dry erase board, the letters are easy to see and can be written in many different colors. An additional advantage is that there is no chalk dust in the air as there is with blackboards.

All of the models that Hertz Furniture carries are great, so finding the ideal white board is entirely a matter of personal preference. Magnetic whiteboards are a good choice because papers can be hung up on them without requiring tape or other substances that may damage the surface. A large open whiteboard is perfect for a classroom because it gives teachers plenty of space for notes and examples. This is especially helpful in subjects such as math and science where pictures can be instrumental in helping students understand concepts.

An executive whiteboard is an appropriate choice for the professional environment. The large writing surface provides plenty of space for taking notes and recording ideas during meetings. When a writing space is not required, the doors can be closed and the tackable outer surface can be used to hang reminders or announcements. This arrangement is ideal for a meeting room.

When a dry erase board is needed temporarily in a particular location, a teaching easel can really come in handy. This portable writing surface can be propped up anywhere to ensure that students or meeting participants can clearly view the writing. A whiteboard easel is perfect for teachers who are working with a small group around an activity table or intimate meetings in the executive suite where a common space is needed to keep track of ideas, agreements and discussions.

Bulletin boards are a classic choice for hallway displays in a school, community center or commercial building. They come in a variety of sizes with a number of options for frame materials. With a few pins or staples, you can hang up printed signs, announcements and advertisements in a matter of seconds.

In a venue where a more professional look is desired, and enclosed cork board is a good option because of its polished look. Locking doors prevent unauthorized personnel from tampering with signs or hanging up advertisements that are not officially approved. The perfect place for an enclosed bulletin board is right inside the building entrance so everyone can see your upcoming events and announcements as they enter and exit the building. This placement will generate excitement and keep your community, clients and patrons informed.

While tacking up papers is one way to disseminate information, there are other ways to get a point across. Ghent bulletin boards can be transformed into message boards with the easy insertion of a letter panel. This arrangement offers the best of both worlds because you can have both options available at all times, so you don't have to choose one or the other. Whether you want to hang up fliers or have neatly-printed letters that are easy to read from far away, both choices are viable. Another possible arrangement is with one side as a pinboard and the other as a letter board so you can even have both at the same time.

When trying to draw in new members or clients, having some outdoor display space can be a useful tool. Weatherproof or enclosed outdoor message boards enable passers by to read announcements even when the building is locked. Weatherproof models are built to withstand the elements, while outdoor boards must be under some kind of awning or roof. Both options feature self-healing vinyl surfaces that won't fade in the sun like cork, and shatterproof acrylic windows.

Whether you are advertising for a new service or publicizing a congratulatory announcement, having the right visual communication products will make the whole process easier. With whiteboards, bulletin boards and letter boards from Ghent Manufacturing, getting the word out is both easy and enjoyable.
