Eight Key Criteria for Choosing the Best Whiteboard Paint for Your Walls

Premium whiteboard paint has many outstanding qualities that make it the top choice if you are looking to install a handy writing surface in your home or business.  A cut above traditional whiteboards and other whiteboard coating brands, ReMARKable whiteboard paint is cost-efficient, easy to apply, long-lasting, versatile, and eco-friendly. It also has a short dry time and comes with a ten-year money-back guarantee against yellowing, staining, peeling, and cracking.

In this article, we’ll discuss in more detail the many features that make top-quality ReMARKable the ideal option for those wanting to buy the best product of its kind at an affordable price.

1. Cost Efficiency

Top-quality whiteboard paint applied to walls provides large, budget-friendly writing surfaces at a fraction of the cost of traditional whiteboards. Due to its long lifespan and affordable price per square foot of coverage, it’s also more cost-efficient than other whiteboard paints on the market.

Conventional whiteboards typically need to be replaced often due to problems with ghosting, staining, and general wear. These boards can quickly get discolored with daily use, especially when not properly maintained. The stained, discolored boards then become hard to write on, and what’s written on them becomes hard to decipher. Hence, it’s necessary to replace them every one to five years when they’re no longer useful – a process that can be pretty costly.

By contrast, one application of premium whiteboard paint is guaranteed to last ten or more years of daily service if properly used and maintained. This includes using low-odor dry erase markers for writing and periodic cleaning with an eco-friendly whiteboard cleaner and microfiber cloth.

2. Ease of Application

The best whiteboard paint saves you time, money, and energy due to its easy, one-layer application process. All you need to do to get a flawless finish is follow the simple instructions that come with each whiteboard paint kit. This way, the coating will give you an attractive, blemish-free writing surface for a wide range of business, educational, or other applications. As one of our satisfied customers put it, “the ReMARKable coating went on as easy as pie.”

Being an industrial-grade coating, whiteboard paint is different from traditional interior house paints. It’s simple to apply; however, it’s important to remember to do so in just one even pass while using a high-quality microfiber paint roller.  The coating should not be applied with multiple passes, as you would make when applying house paint.

3. Durability

Being highly resistant to cracking, peeling, staining, and yellowing premium whiteboard paint is the hands-down best choice if you want a long-lasting writing surface. The coating has a special eco-friendly chemical formula with top-quality ingredients that resulted from many years of research. In addition, each batch of whiteboard paint is made with cutting-edge production methods. It goes through an exhaustive five-step quality control procedure during and after manufacture. These facts make the coating good for ten-plus years of continuous use if properly erased and cared for.

4. Dry Time

As opposed to lower quality whiteboard coatings that take three to seven days to dry, top-grade whiteboard paint dries in just 48 hours. This minimizes interruptions in busy schedules and makes it the quickest-drying whiteboard paint on the market today.

Short drying periods have many practical and psychological advantages. These include negligible lost time for businesses and organizations. This translates into minimal lost revenue, quicker return to normal activities, and less user stress and anxiety. In our fast-paced, technology-driven culture, waiting five to seven days for a whiteboard coating to dry is both undesirable and costly. These long dry times, common to many other whiteboard paint products, are needed because of the harmful gases they emit.

Our customers say that one of premium whiteboard paint’s greatest attractions is its exceptionally quick dry time. This feature permits you to have a functional writing and drawing surface in as little as one business day if the coating is applied on the weekend.

5. Eco-Friendliness

As mentioned above, lower quality epoxy-based whiteboard paints take a long time to dry because of the noxious fumes they release. If these coatings aren’t thoroughly cured, they give off large amounts of toxic gases. These fumes, called volatile organic compounds (VOCs), endanger people’s health in the surrounding area. VOCs are also a significant cause of air pollution. And even after the coatings have dried, they continue emitting fumes for months or even years afterward.

By contrast, top-quality whiteboard paint has a low-VOC, water-based formula that emits virtually no fumes.  This superior composition is also the reason for premium whiteboard paint’s ability to dry quickly. Consequently, it both cures fast and offers an eco-friendly option to environmentally damaging, slow-drying epoxies.

In fact, premium whiteboard paint has been recognized for its safety and ecological soundness by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), one of the world’s top environmental accreditation programs for the construction industry. LEED has also recognized many green products, like low-VOC whiteboard paint, for complying with its strict guidelines and helping to preserve our planet.

6. Finish

After they dry, most whiteboard paints yield a high-gloss finish that can create glare and make what’s written on the surface hard to see in the presence of sunlight or artificial light. In fact, a marketing blurb for one well-known, epoxy-based whiteboard paint says, “[It] provides a smooth, hard, glossy finish.” This feature also makes it difficult, if not impossible, to view slides and videos projected onto these types of surfaces.

Premium whiteboard paint, on the other hand, creates a glare-resistant finish that ensures clear, easy viewing of what’s on the surface. Walls coated in top-quality whiteboard paint produce no glare and are gentle on the eyes. For this reason, using them to write, draw, and project videos or slides is a breeze, and people can easily see what’s on the coated walls without squinting or straining their eyes.

7. Versatility

Whiteboard paint may be applied to virtually any clean, flat surface. As a result, it allows for walls, tables, desks, doors, countertops, cabinets, refrigerators, and other areas to become durable, easily erased writing canvases. Its compatibility with many surfaces makes premium whiteboard paint both versatile and conducive to creativity.

Once installed, whiteboard painted areas may trigger endless novel ideas. For instance, the open, inviting nature of whiteboard walls can make your office break area into an “idea lounge.” Here, teams can relax and come up with new thoughts about current company projects or product designs. Or else, in the home, whiteboard paint on the refrigerator door, pantry doors, or countertops stimulates the free flow of creative expression or ideas for household improvements. In this way, a home, an office, or virtually any other space becomes a communications and artistic hub.

8. Warranty

Top-quality whiteboard paint is unmatched in terms of the nature and quality of its ingredients. The rigid quality control standards applied during and after manufacture ensure that the best possible product goes into every container. For these reasons, supreme whiteboard paint is backed by a ten-year money-back guarantee against yellowing, staining, cracking, and peeling.

Because of the strict quality control procedures at the factory, premium dry erase paint is assured of being flexible and resilient enough to withstand cracking and peeling for ten or more years of regular use.

In the course of quality control testing, samples of each batch of whiteboard paint are applied to a flat surface five different times and given batch numbers. These samples are then left to dry for 48 hours and carefully analyzed to ensure that they are of the highest quality and flexibility level before being put in containers and shipped to our customers.
