  • Our Take: The solid wood frame is a real highlight, providing excellent durability and  a great look.
  • A Small Catch: It’s designed strictly for indoor use, so it's not a fit for outdoor A-board advertising.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle, a traditional tearoom in the heart of York, wanted to replace their collection of mismatched, printed signs with a single, characterful focal point for their daily menu. They needed something that matched their classic, cosy interior and  was easy to update on the fly.

"We needed one central board that felt as warm and  inviting as our tearoom. This Beaumont blackboard was absolutely perfect. Our regulars love seeing the daily cakes and  scones written up by hand; it just feels so much more personal and  authentic."

Robert Green – Owner

Since installing the board behind the counter, the team reports it has become a conversation starter and  has led to a noticeable 20% increase in sales of their daily specials.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before you start, check your wall type (e.g., plasterboard, brick) to ensure you use the correct fixings.
  • Use a spirit level when marking your drill holes to guarantee a perfectly straight and  professional-looking installation.
  • We recommend 'priming' a new blackboard surface. Simply rub the side of a piece of chalk over the entire board and  wipe it clean. This helps prevent the first message from 'ghosting'.
  • Ensure your chosen wall fixings are secure and  rated to hold the weight of the board with ease.

Keeping It Going

  • For daily cleaning, a simple wipe with a soft, damp cloth is all that's needed to remove standard chalk.
  • For liquid chalk pens, a dedicated blackboard cleaner will help remove any stubborn residue without damaging the surface.
  • Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemical cleaners as these can scratch or dull the board.
  • Periodically check that the board remains securely fastened to the wall, especially in high-traffic areas.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Blackboard

Not sure which blackboard is right for your space? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Size and  Space

Measure your wall first! A large board like this one makes a real statement, but make sure it doesn't overwhelm the space. For smaller nooks, a more compact board might be better.

Frame Style & Finish

The frame is a key part of the look. This oak finish is perfect for rustic, traditional, or country-style decors. For a modern bistro, you might prefer a sleek black or metal frame.

Location, Location, Location

Think about where customers will see it most. Behind the bar, near the till, or in the entrance are prime spots. Remember, this model is for indoors only, so you'll need a weather-resistant version for outside.

Chalk or Pen?

Decide on your preferred writing tool. Traditional stick chalk offers a classic, dusty look, while liquid chalk pens provide sharp, vibrant lines that are great for detailed menus.

Purpose and  Content

Are you writing a full menu or just a 'Soup of the Day'? The amount of information you need to display will influence the size of the board you need. This large board is great for lots of text.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

A: Yes, absolutely. This blackboard's surface is suitable for both traditional stick chalk and  most brands of liquid chalk pens.

Q: Is this blackboard magnetic?

A: No, this is a traditional, non-magnetic chalkboard designed for writing on only.

Q: How do I hang it on the wall?

A: The board does not include fixings, as the correct type depends entirely on your wall's construction. We recommend using appropriate screws and  wall plugs for a safe, secure fit.

Q: Can I use this board outside my pub?

A: This Beaumont blackboard display is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to rain and  damp weather will damage the wooden frame and  writing surface.

Q: What is the frame made from?

A: The frame is crafted from solid American Redwood, which is known for its strength and  durability, and  is finished with a classic oak-effect stain.

Q: What are the exact dimensions of the writing area?

A: The usable writing surface is 1236mm wide by 736mm high, giving you a very generous canvas for your messages and  menus.

Q: How should I clean chalk pen residue off?

A: For best results, use a soft cloth and  a purpose-made blackboard cleaning spray. This will remove any 'ghosting' and  keep the surface looking fresh.

Q: Can the board be hung portrait style instead of landscape?

A: The board is designed to be hung landscape, but depending on your D-I-Y skills and  fixings, you may be able to orient it vertically if that better suits your space.

What Customers Are Saying

"Cracking board for the price. The frame is solid wood and  it looks the business above our bar. Easy to write on and  clean off at the end of the day."

Mark L. – The Swan Inn, Cornwall

"A really lovely, big board. The oak finish is much nicer than I expected. My only minor gripe is that it doesn't come with chalk, but I can't fault the quality of the board itself."

Chloe B. – The Corner Perk, Manchester

"We bought this for our entrance to greet guests and  it's so much better than a boring printed sign. It feels very sturdy and  well-made."

Simone Rossi – Rossi's Kitchen, Glasgow

More Than Just Wood: Why an American Redwood Frame Matters

You might see 'wood frame' and not think twice, but the choice of American Redwood is a significant detail. Unlike softer woods or composite materials, redwood is known for its natural resistance to warping and  decay. In a busy commercial environment like a kitchen or café, where temperature and  humidity can fluctuate, this is crucial.

Think of it like the difference between a cheap flat-pack shelf and  a solid oak bookcase. One might start to sag or bend over time, especially in a warm room, while the other remains strong and  straight for years. This Beaumont oak framed blackboard is built to be that reliable bookcase for your wall – a sturdy, dependable fixture that will maintain its shape and  good looks, ensuring your investment pays off for a long, long time.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Country Pubs & Gastropubs

    Perfect for displaying your daily specials, guest ales, or Sunday roast menu with authentic, rustic charm.

  • Independent Cafés & Bistros

    Use this commercial framed blackboard to create an eye-catching menu or announce the cake of the day.

  • Farm Shops & Delis

    An ideal way to showcase local produce, special offers, or tasting event information with a personal touch.

  • Modern Restaurants

    Adds a touch of traditional warmth and  character to your reception area or main dining room wall.
