  • Top-Notch Authenticity: The genuine wood and  antique finish add proper rustic charm to an interior.
  • Sensitive Surface: Needs priming and  is best used with traditional chalk for longevity.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Drover's Rest, a bustling pub in the heart of Bakewell, Derbyshire, wanted to move away from printing daily menus to find a more dynamic and  rustic way to display their specials.

"We pop this up behind the bar with our pie of the day and  guest ales. It looks the part, is dead easy to wipe and  rewrite, and  customers are always commenting on it. It just fits the feel of the place perfectly."

Michael Edwards – Landlord

Since installing the board in a prominent position, the pub has seen sales of their daily specials increase by over 15%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, 'prime' the surface. Rub the side of a piece of chalk over the entire board and  wipe it clean with a dry cloth. This prevents 'ghosting' from your first message.
  • Pick a well-lit, high-traffic indoor spot where your message will get noticed.
  • Use wall fixings appropriate for your wall type (e.g., plasterboard plugs, brick anchors) to ensure it's secure.
  • Use a spirit level when hanging it to make sure it looks perfectly straight and  professional.

Keeping It Going

  • For daily cleaning, a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth is all you need to wipe away traditional chalk.
  • For a deeper clean, use a dedicated chalkboard cleaning solution to remove stubborn marks.
  • Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as these can permanently scratch the writing surface.
  • Every few months, give the wall fixings a quick check to ensure they're still tight and  secure.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Framed Blackboard for Restaurants & Cafés

Not sure which board is right for your space? Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the perfect commercial blackboard sign.

Size and  Placement

Think about where it will hang and  what it's for. A large framed menu board is great for main displays, while smaller boards suit table tops or counter promotions.

Frame Style & Décor

Match the frame to your interior. An antique finish chalkboard suits rustic spots, while a simple black frame is better for a modern city bistro.

Surface & Chalk Type

Traditional chalkboards offer a classic feel. If you prefer the bright, clean lines of liquid chalk pens, make sure you choose a board with a non-porous surface.

Indoor vs. Outdoor Use

If the board will be outside, even under cover, it needs to be weather-resistant. Indoor-only models, like this Beaumont FBB2-A blackboard, have a finer finish not suited to damp conditions.

Ease of Cleaning

How often will you change your message? A smooth surface that wipes clean without 'ghosting' (leaving faint old marks) is vital for daily specials boards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use liquid chalk pens on this board?

A: This board has a traditional surface designed for stick chalk. Using liquid chalk pens is not recommended as they may not wipe off completely and  could damage the surface.

Q: How do I hang it on the wall?

A: The board is lightweight and  can be hung using standard picture hanging hardware or screwed directly to the wall. Always use fixings suitable for your wall type.

Q: Is the frame made from real wood?

A: Yes, the frame is manufactured from solid American Redwood for durability and  a high-quality appearance.

Q: What is the benefit of the antique finish?

A: The antique pine finish provides a rustic, homely feel, making it perfectly suited for establishments like country pubs, traditional cafés, or farm shops.

Q: How heavy is the board?

A: It weighs approximately 3.28kg, making it light enough for easy installation on most internal walls.

Q: Can this board be used outside in a beer garden?

A: No, this model is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture and  weather will damage the frame and  writing surface.

Q: How do I clean chalk dust off the wooden frame?

A: A simple wipe with a dry or very lightly damp microfibre cloth is the best way to remove any chalk dust from the frame without damaging the finish.

Q: Does the board come with chalk or a cleaner?

A: No, chalks and  cleaning solutions are sold separately, allowing you to choose the type and  colour you prefer.

More Than a Frame: Why American Redwood Matters

You might see 'American Redwood frame' and  just think it sounds nice, but there's a real benefit here for a busy commercial environment. Redwood is known for its stability – it's less likely to warp or twist over time, even with the temperature and  humidity changes you get in a kitchen or bustling pub. Think of it like a quality pair of leather shoes versus cheap plastic ones; the redwood is built to last and  keep its shape, ensuring your board looks straight and  professional for years, not just a few months. It's that hidden quality that makes a difference in the long run.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Country Pubs: An ideal way to chalk up the guest ale rotation or the Sunday roast menu with traditional charm.
  • Independent Cafés: The perfect wall mounted café chalkboard for showcasing the coffee of the day and  homemade cake selection.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: A fantastic tool for listing fresh local produce, sandwich fillings, or cheese of the week.
  • Bistros & Restaurants: An elegant and  easily updatable board for presenting daily specials or a curated wine list by the glass.
